Harriet Nelson and Zeno Hunter m. 1856, claremont, NH
I am hoping to find descendants of Harriet E. Nelson who married Zeno Hunter, probably in New Hampshire.Harriet was a daughter of Moses Nelson (Jr.) b. 1795 in Waterbury, Vermont.She was a cousin of my gg. grandmother, Elizabeth Maria Ray Bridges's,mother Hannah Greene Ray Hanna Greene Ray's mother was Mercy Nelson Greene, who was a sister to Moses Nelson, Jr.My gg. grandmother mentions Harriet Nelson Hunter of Burlington, in a letter she wrote once to my g. grandmother.
In looking at A DAR application for Barbara Claire Shaler Danielson in which she is tracing her lineage back to Moses Nelson (sr.) who d. in 1833 in Waterbury, Vermont, I discovered this connection.We both ascend back to Moses Nelson.She mentions a family Bible in her lineage and I'm very interested in that Bible, if it still exists.I have a fair amount of land records from Vermont.
I would like to share the old letter dated 4 April 1912 from Elizabeth Maria Ray Bridges to her daughter, Vesta Tyson in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as Elizabeth mentions visiting with a very old lady named Harriet Hunter and calls her a niece of her grandmother, Mercy Greene, and being grateful to Mrs. Hunter for helping her trace her own way back to their common ancestor, Moses Nelson, b. 1755 in Sutton, MA d. 1833 in Waterbury, VT.
Very sincerely,
Ann T. Sipes
