Hello, Maury Co Folk. Someone named "swan1" on the Ancestry.com message board posted this Nelson family. [see below] If you are a Nelson researcher, I would like to know [if YOU know] whether there might have been an eighth child born to JOHN & POLLY DANIEL NELSON in 1797, 5 years after their son Pleasant Nelson. Please ,if you know this is not possible [or probable] or if it IS< do email me privately or on list. I have my ANNIE NELSON [ABT 1797-ABT 1843] ,as a daughter of one John Nelson b. abt 1756 ? possibly VA , d. after 1840 in Coffee co TN. Not sure where this info originated, but wonder if it could be the same John Nelson you show. I have no wife's name. My Annie Nelson and John L Cross are my husband's great- great grandparents, and were definitely Maury Countians; You have 1.
