I have been told that the Nelsons (Samuel's parents) raised John after his mother died when he was an infant but I do not know who they were. They ended up in Shelby Co., IN and began in Bourbon/Nicholas Co., KY. If you know who Samuel's parents were, please let me know. This is a major brick wall for me. I believe that the Nelsons were coopers and taught that to John.
