My husband descends from George Washington Nelson, who was born 1837 in Clark County, Indiana. George married Eliza L. Tanner July 3, 1856 in Rock Island, Illinois. A son, Harvey Edward Nelson was born 1861 in Cordova, Rock Island Co. IL. I am looking for the parents of George Washington Nelson. I did find a Harvey Nelson who married Susan Redman 18 Jan 1835 in Floyd County,IN, but can not find any thing to confirm that Harvey and Susan are George's parents. George would have been about 13 years old in 1850 and possibly living in Indiana. Do you have any information on these families??  Any suggestions regarding where I should look next?? Thankyou, Rita Nelson Casper, Wyoming ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Clarice Jane Snyder" <snyder@skyenet.net> Web pages: (Music) http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/2059 (Genealogy) http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/n/y/Clarice-J-Snyder/ http://homepage.netspaceonline.com/~deanstr/Harrison/surname.html Surnames: Applegate//Blake//Bogard//Bottles//Brown//Crecelius//Davis//Drake//Engleman// Feller//Greer//Hamman//Hanger//Heishman//Holsclaw//Hottel//Hull//Keller// Litsey//Pate//Powers//Snapp//Windell//VanPelt//Vaughn//Wall//Wiseman// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
