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
