Milton Nelson m. Julia C. Wilson, Boyd Co., KY 1864; s/o Wm Nelson, Wayne Co, WV
Hi,
hoping someone who descends from Milton Nelson will reply to this posting.
I am wondering if you have established who his mother was?Was she SALLY STROUD?
William Nelson b. abt. 1802 NC, d. abt 1868 Wayne Co, WV;married in Floyd Co., KY on March 02, 1822,Sally Stroud b. abt. 1802 Wayne Co., VA; d. abt. 1841 Wayne Co., VA. D/O Mark Stroud (listed as Stroad on 1850 Lawrence Co., KY Census with wife Sarah, both in their 70's).
William Nelson's son, Emanuel Manville Nelson b. 1837, on his death certificate on the www.wvculture.org/vrrwebsite for Lincoln Co., WV lists his mother's name as Saley STROUD.
On the 1860 Wayne Co., VA Census vist #1061/1061 William Nelson and wife Sarah, Isaac age 30, Milton age 26, Sarahage 15, and Nancy age 13.
William's two other sons appear in the following households, vist#1062/1062 Manville (Emanuel) Nelson age 24, Mary (McCann) Nelson, age 24, and son John W(esley) Nelson age 7/12.
Vist #1063/1063 William Nelson (Jr), age 33 b. KY, Nancy Unknown Nelson age 33, Isaac age 6, Sarah age 5, Mary J age 3, Milly age 2, Delana age 5/12.
This same William Nelson Jr. age 23, appears in the 1850 Wayne Co., Census as a 'farmer' within the household of William & Nancy Ratcliff vistation #664/696.Later marrying Nany Unknown.
What became of Milton Nelson, and what information would you have on him that helps to link him to his parents William and Sally Stroud Nelson???Does anyone have the death record information for Milton, or an Obit to share?
Thanks for your help,
Sandi
