NELSON, William; IRL > NY,USA; 1848 William Nelson(b 1812), his wife Jane Woods(b Mar 12, 1813) and several children sailed from Liverpool in 1848 to NY then settled in Ontario. All I know is that they were natives of Co. Monaghan. I would like to know more about the family in Ireland. Would appreciate hearing from anyone searching this line or someone who knows where the name originated. Where they Irish or Scots-Irish? Mary (Nelson) Stewart [email protected]
