Individual Notes
• The sons David and Hans Nelson left Nova Scotia for the United States; never heard of them again.823
• Two sons, David and Hans Nelson, left Nova Scotia for the United States, but the mail system in those days being very imperfect, very little or nothing was ever heard of them.2163, p 4
• You can find David and family starting in 1840, 1850, 1860 (under D. Nelson), 1870. They were in the general area of Mantua, Portage County; Auburn, Geauga County and Palmyra Ohio. I live in Beachwood, Ohio, suburb of Cleveland, not far from the old farms.
By the way, I never found the other brother. Keep looking!2185
