In Maury County, Tennessee Will Books, A, B, C-1, D,and E, 1807-1832, p. 47, Maury court records on estate: "John Nelson, deceased, petition for distribution of estate. Mary Nelson is the widow of John Nelson, Senr., deceased, and other petitioners are children and legal heirs of John Nelson, Senr., deceased, who died intestate. Petitioners: Mary Nelson; Elizabeth Uland, widow of Thomas Uland, deceased, formerly Elizabeth Nelson; Abram Trible and Polly his wife, formerly Polly Nelson; Sally Powel, widow of Charles Powel, deceased, formerly Sally Nelson; William Powel and Nancy, his wife, formerly Nancy Nelson; Mathew Nelson; William D. Nelson; James Nelson, Junr.; Pleasant Nelson. Swan Hardin, Edward W. Dale, Esquire, and Major John Brown appointed committee to report to January term 1823. Follows division. Dated 27 January 1823." The 1811 court case I mentioned was from Records of Maury County, Tennessee Minute Book A, 1810-1815. I have something from a Maury Co. book on bible records about Pleasant Nelson's family from that family's bible and other sources. And from a Maury Co. book on military service, there is family info on Pleasant Nelson and William Daniel Nelson. It confirms that William Daniel Nelson was b. in Halifax Co. Va. Email me if you'd like copies of any of these.
