Thanks for your reply, Sharon.There are 3 Nelsons on one of the plaques at the Alamo and the ancestry information on these 3 is shown on a web site for the Alamo.That is where I got the printed information.I was told about them when I was a child and again about 14 years ago at a family re-union in Singer, Louisiana at the Good Hope Baptist Church where a lot of my Nelson ancestors are burried.
I have not been able to locate information to tie in who they were related to that ended up in Louisiana.I hope to go to the Nelson reunion in Louisiana.Think it is 1st Sat in June.I wrote to the lady that was in charge back then but have not heard from her.She may be deceased.Think I will write to the church and ask them to pass my request on to someone in the Nelson family.
The last reunion I attended was June 93 just after my Dad (Alvie Maxwell Nelson) had passed away in May.I met so many relatives I had never seen or heard of before from brothers of my Grand Father.I was not in the frame of mind that day to write anything down but I did see a large banner with names on it and who came from who.Hopefully I will see that again if I make it in June.
