The marriage of this couple on Apr 02, 1867 in Washington County, Indiana is one clue I
have found as I search for Martha Nelson, daughter of William and Elizabeth (McKinney)
Nelson. It is my belief that William d. bef. 1850 census. William and Elizabeth had two
children; William Jackson Nelson and Martha Nelson. The son ended up in Illinois but
Martha has been difficult to trace. The following census record may be a second clue about
her.
This is speculation but it is my first clue concerning the possible whereabouts of Martha
Nelson in 1860. This needs to be confirmed.
1860 United States Federal Census, Indiana, Harrison County, Blue River Township,
Hardinsburgh PO, written page 213, line 11, dwelling #166, family #164; Whitman, Wm. (42 M
W farmer IN), Lydia (38 F W IN), Andrew H. (19 M W IN), Conrad (17 M W IN), John H. (15 M
W IN), Polly A. (11 F W IN), Aaron R. (9 M W IN), Wm. J.[?] (4 M W IN), Luvinia F. (2/12 F
W IN), Martha A. Nelson (20 F W IN) and Nancy Elliott (48 F W KY). William is listed with
$1300 of owned real estate and $1000 of owned personal estate. The enumeration was taken
on June 16, 1860 by N.[?] McKenzie (DAM - Aug 2006).
