Mr. Moody,I have been researching my William Columbus Nelson who was my g.grandfather. I have found through Nelson dna that he was the son of John Nelson born 1821 Buncombe Co.,N.C. and Julia Ann Shelton b.1823-1828 in N.C.. Now John Nelson's parents were James and Nancy Reynolds Nelson who lived and were md. in Lincoln Co.,N.C. abt. 1810. My William's parents were dead by 1860 and William was living with a Elizabeth Moody in 1860 Washington,Tn. census.Eliz. Moody is listed as being in her 70s and born in N.C. These Nelsons also lived in Walton,Ga. around 1850. Another thing is that some of Wm's Nelson relatives lived in Ark. in the middle to late 1800s. Clark,Benton and Washinton Cos.I also have a Veasey-Vasey surname in my Nelson dna,but I don't know how. I have posted with Victor Hastings about the Sheltons in Lincoln Co.,N.C. He has also posted about Ridleys and I have a Ridley surname in my Nelson dna.The Shelton names that keep popping up in my researches are Stephen,James,Lewis,Wm. Charles,David,Irvin,Jesse,Joseph and Margaret.Do you know of this Elizabeth Moody in Tn. or do you have a Julia Ann or female Shelton md. to a Nelson ,or just a known female Shelton born between 1823-1828 in your line?
