Sorry about the delay, I wasn't notified this time about your answer......There is lots on the web, unfortunately some is wrong....I've been working this line for over 40 yrs....it's my Mom's family.....contact me at [email protected] and I'll make you a copy off my FTM and mail to you...I've got different files on each of Ambrose's sons.....I've even got a photo a cousin took of Ambrose's land that your James inherited and kept until he died......James also owned all kinds of land in Caswell co., NC......and Jonathan wasn't the only Nelson son who went to Tennessee....Iverson Nelson his older brother lived in Carroll Co. Tenn. before Jonathan went there......and believe the "Bazley" Nelson who married in Tennessee was his older brothetr, Barzallei.....James himself had a brother named Bazel.....and he's listed in at least one tax record in Virginia that way...so figure his name might have been Barzalleisure I'm spelling it wrong...probably why they shortened it to Bazel.....then they had my guy, William and a sister, Barshabawho married a William Ricketts......if there were more kids for old Ambrose they weren't named in his will...but records show only these in Pittsylvania co., Va. around Ambrose.....we think James was the youngest son....
There another younger, Ambrose Nelson in Prince Edward Co., Va. ..but he's not kin to ours or at least we don't think so....he's the son of Matthew Nelson of Cumberland co.,Virginia....and he left Va. and moved to Ky. where he died....gets very confusing....but I have lots on your line...
