Lowry died in 1859 according to what I have in Winfield, Lincoln Co., Mo. so she wouldn't be on the 1880 census but the 1850 census and she was probably living with a Terrell family. She had a granddaughter Henrietta, that married James Samuel Terrell and they lived there. Thanks for the trouble your going to, maybe one of these days I'll find that "missing link"!! Rebecca

Quoting Elaine, "Colonel William Nelson was the son of Thomas, Thomas the signer and grand son of Thomas & Frances Courtenay. William was born 6-17-1746 in Hanover. His wife was Mary Chiswell dau of John Chiswell and Elizabeth Randolph. William and Mary had a daughter Lucy that was born in 1771, but their daughter Mary Chiswell Nelson wasn't born until 4-1783." She lost me somewhere in describing Thomas Nelson. Actually, Col. William Nelson was a son of Thomas Nelson known as Secretary Nelson (Capt. Thomas Nelson and Major John Nelson were his siblings. These mentioned three sons were born at Yorktown and participated in the American Revolutionary War. The Thomas, known as "the signer," was a nephew of Secretary Thomas Nelson and therefore first cousins to the three mentioned Nelson siblings. I am unfamiliar with the mentioned Thomas and Frances Courtenay. I wouldn't spend much time in studying The Descendants of Thomas Nelson of Virginia by Carol Hauk. I am unable to reconcile some of her entries. John Nelson (8th generation from Thomas "Scotch Tom" Nelson)

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VBC.2ACI/1249.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Elaine, Thanks for looking. But I'm even more confused. I had Col. Wm. married to Lucy. My Mary's birthdate could be wrong. I don't have any proof of her actual birth. I've tried to use this site to get a response from someone in Missouri to see if they would do a lookup for me in the papers, since this is where Mary supposedly moved to, and I'm pretty sure that she did move there because we had relatives that lived there. She could have been born in 1783 and her first child born in 1798, that would make her 15, which is not an impossibility. But since there was no Lowry in the book, she probably isn't the right Mary. I know there was two different Nelson families in Hanover Co. and I really do feel that she is from the not so prominent one. Maybe someday I will find the proof by accident. Keep me in mind and thanks so much for your time. Warm regards, Rebecca

As I am sure you know this is a very inconsistant record. It has large gaps and people that simple seem to drop off the face of this earth, BUT With that being said....Colonel William Nelson was the son of Thomas, Thomas the signer and grand son of Thomas & Frances Courtenay. William was born 6-17-1746 in Hanover. His wife was Mary Chiswell dau of John Chiswell and Elizabeth Randolph. William and Mary had a daughter Lucy that was born in 1771, but their daughter Mary Chiswell Nelson wasn't born until 4-1783. It shows that Mary, dau of Wm & Mary, married Mann Page, son of Robert & Elizabeth Carter. They had 3 sons, Robert, Charles & John. No subsequent marriage to a Lowery is noted but if she did remarry it would have been after 1808, since this is when their last son John was born. Hope this aids in some way to your research. Elaine

I am looking for information about Robert W. Gibson who was born about 1845 in Hanover Co. Va. and married Melvina Anthony. Would appreciate any information about these families.....especially the lineage of Robert Gibson. Thank you. Mary

Goochland Co. has many extant records. Also the first deed book of Louisa Co., VA, which was formed from Hanover Co., has many references to residents of Hanover Co. about 1740s. Some possible works of interest. Dr. Benjamin B. Weisiger permitted the Family History Library in Salt Lake City to film or microfiche many of his books, and I believe he had one or two on Goochland Co. Do an author search on the FHL online catalog at _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) You will find he compiled a number of books on colonial Virginia counties (but not Northern Neck counties). Each microfiche costs 15 cents presently, and they stay at your local FH center--so that you can continue to use them. Mrs. Rosalie Edith Davis is still selling her booklets [reasonably priced] on Louisa Co. records, and I have dogeared my copies to death. This is her website: _http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/_ (http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/) Some advice I got from a lecture on doing genealogy in Virginia--search ALL the counties!!! At first I thought the lecturer (who has a PhD in history and is the author of many genealogical works) was nuts. But, after conducting some research in colonial Virginia, I must agree with the lecturer!!! Not only did people move to new land, but the county boundaries changed--all the time!!! And don't overlook the fact that a lot of Hanover Co. people, as indicated by a batch of deeds in Granville Co., NC, moved to North Carolina. Granville Co. has some excellent records, and I am told that one time Granville Co. covered most of the area adjoining Virginia--not that it was all settled. My Hanover and Louisa co. folks went to North Carolina in the 1750s. E.W.Wallace

I am descendant of Andrew Hunter of Hanover Co. VA. later in Goochland Co. through his daughter Mary. I don't have information beyond him either and have been searching Kent Co. etc. Regards, Kathryn

I know the Nelson Lowry is right, I have documentation on him but Mary Nelson I don't. Nelson b 1781 Caroline Co., Va. d July 11, 1834 not known where or where he is buried? Mary Nelson b 1771 Caroline Co., Va. d Jan. 6, 1859 Winfield, Missouri Lincoln County They would have been married ca. 1797/8 because first child is born ca. 1798. Now, this is what the Mormon's have, which I take with a grain of salt because I have never been able to prove this in over thirty years that I've been doing genealogy. I've looked in all the books that I have here at the library, gotten on the internet and I've never seen any proof of this. But supposedly Mary Nelson's parents are Col. William Nelson b abt. 1745 and Lucy Chiswell who were married Nov. 24, 1770. So, this could be Mary's parents because she was born 1771, but I want put this in my history because I have no actual proof. I've often wondered if maybe Mary was married before she married Nelson because of the 10 yrs.age difference. Col. Wm. Nelson's parents are listed as being Thomas and Lucy Armistead. I know that this Nelson line from everything that I have researched is a very prestigious line and goes way back to the Randolph and Pages and with everything that is out there, it seems like I would have found the proof that I need but I haven't. If this Mary is right they probably disowned her for marrying "beneath her" because my Lowry line was jsut good ole country folk probably. Anyway, that's for responding and if you ever come across the Lowry name, let me know. Rebecca
