In reply to:
Nelson,1830-1904 of Garafraxa,Wellington
Kenneth Brown 3/29/99
As the original poster of this article I'd like to update a few things.
FIRST: I agree that Daniel should be excluded from this family collection.
Second:Based on upon the evidence of a marriage record for Nelson's second marraige I accept that evidence as firsthand from Nelson that his parents were in fact Richard and Ann Eggburt.Nelson's 2nd wife Emma Walker widow of Mr. ? Butter's.
Third:Richard of 1871 was married to Ellen ELLIOT as referenced by Terry and others. Thank you for the correction.
Fourth:The Richard who married Martha Miles Probably is teh brother of Nelson and perhaps Alexander's lineage too.I am requesting baptismal records and hope they will answer this question more definatively.Does anyone have a copy of the 1851, 1861, or 1871 Census' for Nelson,Richard, or Alexander already transcribed?If so please post.
Fifth: I did locate a birth record for David Smeltzer, (brother of Charlotte) 25 March 1835 in Charlottesville, Prince Edward Island. I read story of the Journey from Ireland to New York and up into the St. Lawrence River, which included a stay in PEI for at least awhile.
