General Notes: Husband - William Nelson

The old family name was spelled Nielson.

He was born in Ireland and came to America with five children; the mother died on the voyage. He settled in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, four miles northwest of Service. The first Seceder's congregation of Service was formed at his house, and he was a prominent member.
