    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Cemetery: Walnut Creek Cemetery, Gas City, Grant, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 24 Sep 1850, Centre Township, Grant, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 14 Jun 1860, Jadden, Grant, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 1870, Trask, Grant, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    There is a Louisa and Mariah Nelson living within the household of William and Rebecca Nelson. You have to be careful as there are two William Nelson's in the same county in the 1870 Census. The correct one has Susan, Louisa, and Maria included in the household, not to mention Griffith Nelson in Trask, Indiana. The other William is not the same one as he was born in 1835. It looks as if William and Rebecca took Louisa and Maria in when their son Jackson and daughter in law Lucy passed away. It is unknown at this time if Griffith is related or not.

    According to the findagrave memorial for William Nelson, a Sheila Watson recorded William passing in 1879, but when you look at the tombstone it clearly shows 1874.
