I am looking for death information or a will for John Nelson b. abt. 1772 Valley Forge, PA and said to have died 8 Feb 1842 in Huntingdon Co., PA. He had a son Josiah, b. 26 Jun 1816 in Huntingdon, PA. John's wife was Catherine Hammer, dau of John Heinrich Hammer and Julianna Dubbs. I would like also to find any record of this family including Josiah's birth, and that of his other siblings. Perhaps someone could tell me where to look for the above information.
