Surnames: Nelson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2362 Message Board Post: I am searching for family connections for my ancestor, John Nelson, born somewhere in Kentucky between June and September 1807. I do not know his father's first name, but his mother may have been Catharine and he may have had a brother named Solomon. By 1850, he was living in Hendricks County, Indiana with Nancy (wife?) and John (son?). John, the son, may have died in the Civil War. John, the father, remarried in 1865 to Mary Ann Lipe Jordan, a widow. They had 2 daughters, Martha and Mary. The family moved to Wilson County, Kansas in the 1870s and John died there in 1883. Any help greatly appreciated.
