This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Nelson, Chattin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AC.2ACE/1440 Message Board Post: I'm researching the family of Basil Nelson (born c1785) and his wife Elizabeth Chattin Nelson (born c1790), who were born in Pittsylvania Co, and then moved on to TN and IL. Anyone working on these lines, I'd love to share information. I've found lots of "exact" dates for these folks, that are attributed to FTM's World Tree, or online at Ancestry.com, but no one seems to be able to tell me a source for these exact dates. The dates are correct enough (according to later censuses) that I'm tempted to believe them, but I'd like to know where the exact dates came from (family Bible, tombstones, what?). Many thanks!
