I have Rosa and Lewis death certificate and their parent's are Arthur Nelson and Elizabeth Freeland. When Rosa married in later Census's she gave a different state for each one. So I thought her family must have moved around a lot. In the 1870 Census I found a little Rosa Nelson as a servant in a strange family in Lawrence Co. In the 1860 Census of Cabell Virginia I found Arthur Nelson and Elizabeth with Lewis. Rosa Nelson wasn't born till 1861.
