Wm. Nelson / Craven Co. S.C.
Can anyone identify Cap't. Wm Nelson who received 360 acres of land in St. Mark's Parrish, Craven Co., S.C. in November of 1755? Is this the same Wm. Nelson who received 300 acres of land in the same area in December of 1748?? I know that this is not the Cap't. Wm Nelson of the Laurens Co., S.C. will of 1848 as the Laurens Wm.is a younger man.
Also need help to identify Josiah Nelson of the same St. Mark's Parrish who received 400 acres of land in May of 1765 & another 500 hundred acres in July 1765. Are Josiah & Cap't. Wm Connected??
Have pieced together another Nelson family in Craven Co. in 1750 & 1751. Believe Jared Nelson is the father of Matthew Nelson, Jared & Samuel Nelson, the Younger. Some of the land alloted to Josiah Nelson was close by to Jared Nelson along the Santee River. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Ann C. Davis
