Hello Ken Haus: Happy New Year.
I have found out a little more about the Nelson,(Rappahannock native Indian) Spurlock, Connection.
(14) During the 1760s 3 Rappahannock girls were raised on Thomas Nelson's `Bleak Hill' Plantation in King William County. One girl married a Saunders man, one married a Johnson man, and the third had 2 children, Edmund and Carter Nelson, fathered by Thomas Cary Nelson. In the 19th century, these Saunders, Johnson, and Nelson families are among the core Rappahannock families from which the modern tribe traces its descent.
(15) In 1819 and 1820, Edward Bird, John Bird and his unnamed wife, Carter Nelson, Edmund Nelson, and Carter Spurlock (all Rappahannock ancestors) were listed on the tax roles of King and Queen County. They are taxed at the county poor rate. Edmund Bird is added to the list in 1821. This is significant documentation because the overwhelming majority of pre-1864 records for King and Queen County were destroyed by fire.
Here are Just some of the Nelson Birth dates and family members, from around that era.
