General Notes: Husband - Col. Samuel Nelson


It is said that he was of the same stock as the English Admiral Horatio B. Nelson.
He was born in England, came to New York at the age of twenty-one and from there made his way to Little York, Pennsylvania. He served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. Alexander Nesbit's Company and also in Capt. James Chamberlain's Company of Militia in 1776. In 1778 he was advanced to the rank of lieutenant-colonel of the First Battalion of York Co. Militia and in 1782 was transferred to the Sixth Battalion. He was at Washington, Delaware, Sept. 3, 1778. He was appointed a commissioner of the third class for York County in 1801, but died before his term expired.
