NELSON, JOHNSON; Mankato, MN; 1870+
I am seeking information about the family of Martin and Johanna (JOHNSON) NELSON. They are listed in the 1870 census with children Jennie, Emma, and Anna M.(my husband's great-grandmother). In the 1880 census, Henry and Alfred have been added to the family, but Jennie and Emma are no longer listed (even though they would still be young children).
Alfred J. NELSON married Elnora Cathrina HALLMAN [d/o Charles and Mathilda (PETERSON) HALLMAN] and at least 5 boys were born to this union: Edgar Merrittee NELSON (1902), John Wesley NELSON (1904), Clarence A. NELSON (1906), Paul Martin NELSON (1909), and Charles NELSON (1912).
Would love to correspond with anyone having information about these families or their descendants. Thank you.
