Tina, Are you looking for James Nelson b. ~1875, son of Israel Nelson? I have Israel Nelson, widower aged 37 yrs, 4 mon 1 day m. Susan Paton, widow age 36 yr 0 mo 6 days. Performed by PJ Lockhart 6 Jun 1865. Place of birth given for both as Tazewell. Israel, a farmer, is the son of Isaac and S. Nelson. Susan is the daughter of Jacob and L. Henkil. Now the exciting part for me is that Susan Henkil Paton (also known as Susannah Henkle/ Hinkle Payton/Peyton/Paton) is my ancestress by her first marriage to John Payton. She had 5-7 children with John Payton, and at least 4 with Israel Nelson (based on 1870 census data): Susan Nelson b. 1869 m. Richard Lippford Virginia Nelson b. 1871 m. Mr. Hagerman Julia Nelson b. 1872 m. Mr. Dula James Nelson b. 1875 I would love to exchange more information with you. I am descendant of Susannah's daughter Elizabeth Letitia Payton. I was named for her, and I've never come across anyone else who is a descendent of Susannah's. Please email me at [email protected] -Payton James-Amberg
