Susan,
I know this is an old post but I hope you still get it. I recently saw a post from someone else who claims that James Nelsonand Nancy Reynolds from Lincoln Co.,N.C. in early 1800s were the parents of Catherine Nelson who married Alexander Barclay.They also have other children who married in the Hutchings family who moved to White Co. I am looking about the John Nelson born of this family. My John Nelson born abt. 1790 married a Julia Ann Shelton born 1823 in Rowan Co.,N.C.. Their onlyknown child was my g.g.randfather William Columbus Nelson born Aug.1851 in Rowan Co.,N.C.,but they did not live in Rowan Co. They must have been visiting family or maybe came to be with family when it was time for Julia to deliver. I do not know John parents or Julias at this time, but have had Nelson Dna testing done with a direct Nelson line. Hoping to finally find the correct Nelson -Shelton line. Do you know anything about the John brother to Catherine ? There was a James ,too; I believe from that bunch of kids.
