General Notes: Husband - John Nelson

---

He was born on the old family homestead, where he remained only one year, when his father removed his family to Greene township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Here he lived until nine years of age, then lived on a farm near Service twelve years. In 1851 he returned to the homestead, then owned by the heirs of his grandfather, Hezekiah Wallace. After living there ten years he was married, and then settled on a farm of fifty acres, which was a part of the homestead. In the spring of 1867 he bought a farm on Service creek, where he resided until 1880, when he purchased a farm of 160 acres near Hookstown; he also owned another farm of 135 acres.
He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church, of which he was an elder. He was a Republican. Early in life he taught school and conducted a saw-mill. He also did much work as a surveyor.
