My family is from Campbell Co TN. We have found a cousin who is very old. His name is Henry Moore Jr, son of Henry Ford Moore. He is living across the street from another cousin. He knows nothing about his grandfather, Peter G Nelson, who is my great-grandfather because he left TN in the 1890's and never came back. Peter's father was Enoch Nelson married to a Mary A. Polly Moore. Enoch's father was William Nelson born in NC abt 1787.
I have found a group of Nelson's living close to each other but we don't know their relationship: In the 1860 Union Co TN census Washington's family is in household 796 and 797; Martin's is in 803 and Wm.s are in 890 and Enoch's are in 847.All in the 9th Civil District, Union Co TN.
Does anyone have information on Martin and Washington? Enoch is my g-great grandfather and I have much information on him but none on his wife:
Name: Mary A 'Polly' Moore
Born: NOV 1820, NC
Died: AFT 1900, Union Co TN
Married: Enoch Nelson, 9 JAN 1840, Campbell Co TN
Children: Malinda Nelson, Nancy Nelson, Daniel Nelson, Rufus Nelson, Elijah Dyer Nelson, Sarah Nelson, William W Nelson, Harrison Jefferson Monroe Nelson, Peter G Nelson, John P Nelson, William N Nelson
Father: Generation four Moore
For the first generation of Nelson's in Campbell Co TN we found:
Susan Nelson born abt 1775 in WVA, died June 1850 in Campbell Co TN.
Martin L. Nelson born abt 1794 in VA, died 1 April 1882 in Campbell Co TN. He lived between the Clinch and Powell Rivers.
William Nelson [my known relative] born abt 1787, which he claims he was born in TN on the Campbell Co census'. Died bef 1870 in Union Co TN.
The next generation in Campbell Co TN:
Pulaski Nelson born between 1800 and 1806 in Knox Co TN. He was married to Marinda "Mareny" Cooper b 28 Mar 1807 in Person Co NC. Shel later married Joseph Campbell and was on the 1850 Campbell Co TN census as Rena Campbell with her children from Pulaski using the Campbell surname.
Washington Nelson born c1816 in NC and died before 1860 in Campbell or Union Co TN. He was married to an Elizabeth [nee unk].
Lucy Nelson, c1806. Her husband David Daniel Hill, b1806 in Stokes Co NC, died c1848 Campbell Co TN. His father was Mathew Hill Jr b1775 from Germantown, Stokes Co NC, died c1836 Campbell Co TN. His mother was Mary Polley Moore born before 1780 in Stokes Co NC and died in Union Co TN.
Mary Polly Moore's [1780] ancestors were:
Mary (Polly) Moore's ancestors were as follows:
Father: Henry Moore
Grandfather: John Moore, Jr. married Phereby Council in Stokes Co NC
G. grandfather: John Moore, Sr, married Mary Jackson
GG grandfather: Hugh Moore married Martha Caldwell in Halifax Co, VA
We have the family names of Ridenour, Nelson, Moore, Sharp and Smith to name a few. The Hill family has many names similar to our families given names. Lucy Nelson and David Daniel Moore had a child named Elizabeth Ridenour living with them in the 1850 Campbell Co TN Census.
We believe these families connected to the Nelson geographically are related. There are many marriages between these families in the 1800's except with the Hill family. Does anyone have any connections with these lost cousins that I haven't mentioned?
Thanks for any information or advice you might have.
