Sixteen years ago I "began an investigation into the origin and history of my family. Having no other source from which I might derive the information so needful in a work of this character,! began with my own immediate fam- ily living in the far west and the traditions which the different mem'bers furnished me as to the location of the early members and their families when our Country was first settled. I, accordingly, took up those traditions and sift- ed each one to its utmost, many of which furnished valuble clues from which much benefit was derived,v;hile others proved as "Castles in Spain." Prom the very outset my highest exjjectations promised results far beyond any of my wildest dreams or fondest hopes. V/hile discouragements were few and successes many and unexpected, much that would now be highly valuble and much more appreciated, must for- ever remain unwritten. Wh.y this must needs be, may be ex- plained in the destruction of many valuble Records, in War, by f ire,rotteing with age, loss in transit ;and most of all, the things of interest that were never recorded. Not being entirely satisfied with the results so far attained,! sub- mit the work to others scrutiny, with the hope that any no- ticeable errors, discrepencies or omissions will be over- locked or corrected, as the case may be, - New York City, Cortez Nelson. 12 July 1906. .■ptOITOUCrOHTHI 6o*xuoa i3xf*o on gnivfiH ,\;i;j:jafil x/a xo ^T;oJ-airI Johb niaiio ft r^s r^r'^r)99n oa noij'ajr'"^"' ' ^''^ a-,r :-,•*;> d'xfj'.xra I ^"-^ * ■<»; ctotI -iasl 9;tBii)9)TuaJ: nwo v;ni lictiw lusaacf I,idjO«BtBJtfo Bin^t lo atiov/ ©rfd- xfoxiiw anoid-ifcBt-t 9f{J- bas &b3w t&l 9£[c^ nl gnivxl y-C-^ -ct-lxa bns anoXjtxJbfi-tJ- esodt qv :ioo*,Yl§nif>*iooos,I .ield'^J'sa aiarid-o 9lxxi'.v,i>9vx-i9i3 sby.' jilgaso iiowm xloxiiw inoil aai/io vm ..'sacfijc y'^s''" s^'^ rao'x'i ".nxaqS nx aalcJ-BBO" ajs i)9V0iq iiodsiae- ■ alxxiVi' .aeqoii i-a9i)nol to antsaii) .ts3i)ixv.' -^'fl isl.'jc ^i£X9njj Jons y^i-S"^ a9as900JJa hns wat atsw -•^ol JaiTrrf,l)9.tBJ:D9'tqqfi sinrti rlnurrr Lrrn -alrrtTljsr 'rlr{-.i:i{ 9cf won -:c9 9d v£m,9a ax;99n teuai axxij \;ii'..' .najJiTwni; rix^iTiai igvs , .'^ioo9H 9ld0lsv Yxt£fl> oi/iv+agb srf^t nl fienxslq (XI' .3; ;tlanx3':. , i%i.i5 rfcM.w ^niacfdot j STil x^ gnxga jo'ti ,bsbiooet 't9V9n gtsw isdi cj-agTajru lo ajjnir.j ^di^ -rJsjd 1 ^beiit^t^a ibI ob a&luBet Qd& d&xvr bsi.1z£&Be ^^ilgtictng -on VHB ;t^iid- 9qoxi 9fiJ- r{J-lw,v;nJ:u;rTOS aisric^Q od" ^fto'v ariJ- ,tirr -•I9V0 sd Ij-xw anoiaaxmo 10 a9i:on9q9toaxi),aioTis 3l.ds3os& - ,9cf \;Bra 98^0 gji.t aB,Jb9Cf09't"C0o *io ba^ool .noalaW sacftoO i'^*-i^ attoY wsTI BIBLIOGRAPHY. ^ • • • • I Burke's Coirimoners of England and Irelan,fit Sir John Bernard Burke's Peerage and Baronetcy, dom, Edward Welford,in County Families of the United King- Encyclopoedia cf Contemporary Biography.

The Family of Nelson appears to have been of very- ancient existence in the County of Lancashire, Their Seat at Maudsley, where they held lands "by Military service, is now in possession of the Riddles of Northumberland, to whom it came by female descento Some notice of them can he found in the pedigree of Earl Nelson, in Sir Richard Hoar's History of South- V/ilts, under the Head of the Parish of Downtono There is little doubt that the ancestry of V^illiam Nelson, living tempore Elizabeth, and Edward VI, came out of Lancashire, in the r of suit of Sir James Stanley, ^"arden of Manchester .youngest son of Thomas Stanley, Pirst Earl of Derby; which Dr. James Stanley was elected First Bishop of Ely, 23d Henry VII, and settled in Nor- folk, v;here the See of Ely had considerable property. The Arms of the Nelsons of Maudsley were worn by the Norfolk Nelsons, as may be seen by Old Books and Papers in the collection that formerly belonged to the Rev, Edmund Nelson, of Burnhara-Thorpe. ( See under heading of Viscount Nelson.) The Family of Nelson, originally of the County of Lancashire, settled in Berkshire temp ore Elizabeth. Richard Nelson of Maudsley, in Lancashire, was living there in the time and durin-^ fhe Reign of Edward III. In 1377, he gave and confirmed to Warine de Golborn and Alice his wife, daughter of the said Richard, certain Lands in Maudsley, with the remainder in default of issue to George Nelson, son of Rob- ert Nelson, and his lawful heirs. This deed is dated 1st Rich- ard II and sealed with the Arms, "A cross over a bendlet" ,1405, ,£>n.Klsna CIS. anoalsK sxfT nioiT: .bnslatl £, baals^S. lo eTiaaomnioO s'^iuS YT9V lo nescf avBxi od- ei-'iaiii-G noelsH "io ^^IxuijsI erfT won Bi,90xvi9!r! xtB'&tLiU Y.(i sbttsl bl9xf ysdi eisciw^xsLsbuBM.

The irregularly kept Register at Nevis gives the date 11 March, but in a letter to her husband, on the 11 Ma.rch 1797 , Mrs, Nelson wrote, "Tomorrow is our v^edding day and it gives me a dear husband, and my child the best of fathers." When the Boreas was paid off , Mrs. Nelson lived with her husband at Bur nham- Thorpe till Feb. 1793, and during his ab- sence(f irst) in the Mediterranean, corresponded on the most af- fectiona,te terms. V-Qien he returned home after losing his arm at Teneriffe,she tenderli'^ nursed him during the months of pain that followed, and through 17 98 Nelson's letters to his wife ap- pear as affectionate as ever. Lady Nelson, however , seems to h.a.ve been early disquieted by rumours which reached her from Italy; and on the 7th of December, Davidson wrote to her husband, "your valuble better-half is in good health, but very uneasy and anx- ious, which is not to be wondered at, — she bids me say that unless you return home ina few months, she will join the Standard at Naples.

On the other hand,Har- ^rison asserted that there were many differences , between the hus- band and wife, respecting Nelson's nieces and nephews; that Nel- son loved the companionship and prattle of children, v;hich an- noyed his wife; that they two quarrelled, about Lady Nelson's son,Josiah Nisbet,at this time a Captain in the Navy, whom his mother v/ished to be considered as her husband's heir;and that after one of these domestic broils, Nelson wandered all night through the streets of London, in a state of absolute despair and destraction. It is well established that Bisbet was rude, quarrelsome and intemperate; that he had much annoyed his Step- father while in command of the Thalia, and that when that ship was paid off, he v;as never employed again. Harrison's story is not thus improbable, in itself, and is partly confirmed by Nel- VI.

This brought Nelson into commu- nication with the French settlers, and in 1687 he gave a letter of Introduction to Villebon the governor of Nova Scotia, then restored to the French, Y'hen^Willebonf was about to pass through Boston on his way to Nev; York, o;--i->^ qre- Nelson was a Churchman, and as in the case of Temple, there were barriers of taites and character v^hich separated him from his Puritan Contemporaries in Boston, He is describ- ed by a New England historian as "of a free, gay temper." But in New England as in the mother country, the arbitrary rule of ^ the Romanist Sovereign united, for a v/hile at least, men of dif- ferent Creeds and Views in common resistance. Nelson, too , had connected him.self by marriage v/ith a family possessing much political influence in Massachusetts, His wife v;as a daughter of William Tailer,who became Lieutenant-governor of Massachu- setts in 1711. Tailer's wife was a daughter of Israel Stough- ton,a rjan of influence among the first generation of New Eng- land settlers. Her brother , William Stoughton,was anient for the Colony in England, in 1676, and was at a later date, Lieutenant- governor of the Colony, Thus, though Nelson was excluded from political life in the Colony, he was brought into direct contact with many of those who controlled it. In the crisis brought^" about by Sir Edmund Andros,the leaders of the popular party were glad of the assistance of any public spirited man.

Andros took no notice of tloe summons. By this time the Boston insurgents were supported by a large "body of Militia collected from the country around. Nelson was placed in com- mand of the party, and was sent to demand the surrender of the Fort, He surrounded the Tort, got possession of an out-¥.^ork:, ' and then threatened the Port with a cannonade, Addros there- upon surrendered, and Nelson took command of the Fort, With the establishment of a Provisional Government Nelson disappears from the scene of action. But, though his opinions and charac- ter may have excluded him from political life at Boston, a place v/as found for him, in the service of the Colony, for which he was fitted by his earlier associations. In 1690 a force from New England, under the comm.and of Sir William Phipps, conquered Nova Scotia, and in 1691 the nev/ Charter of Ilassachusetts formaily incorporated it with the Colony, Nelson was appointed to act as Commander-in-Chief of the ''assachusetts forces in Acadia, Before he could reach his Province he was captured by a French- man of War, and Acadia was reoccupied b.v a French lalitary Force, h Nelson's captor was his old friend Villebon,who of- fered him courteous treatment. He was kept for a while at Quebec in honourable captivity. There he used his opportuni- ties to study the designs of the French, and to give information of them and their movements to his friends in Nev; England. In .the Autumn of 169S he bribed two Frenchmen to carry a letter -- to Boston, addressed, as it would seem, to the general Court there.

In 1698 he contrived to send to England a Keraorial to he laid hefore the Lords of trade and plantations. In this to he showed the danger of allowing the French^claira,as they would surelj' seek to do, a houndary which would give them control of- the Kennehec, This, he pointed out, would furnish them with abun- dant supply of ship- timber, and would also enable them to detach from the English a large and valuble body of English allies. It is noteworthy that here, as elsewhere throughout his career, Nelson says nothing of his own sufferings, and makes no petition for deliverance or redress. He had, indeed, before shown a singularly scrupulous temper. When the Peace of Rys- wick was ratified Nelson was in England on Patole. The King held that the Peace of itself terminated his captivity and did not v^ish him to leave England. He , however , insisted on return- ing;and, when, shortly after, he was released, he seems to have been visited with the King's displeasure for his disobedience. In 1705 certain public men in New England set on foot a discreditable intrigue to exclude Joseph Dudley from the gov- ernorship of Tiassachusetts,and to secure the post for Sir Charte Hobby, Dudley was not a man (ff high political character , and rs.Ti JbnB,JBs3 Yd" "--•■-h: no -AoBiifi njs tot n-giseb rionsil i; lo Mod- tl jan^itinl sd& tiosi&eb o& gnxism bj3W sd xfoirim' d-qjnsd-J-s srid- to oela -asm a'noelsK ,^fo^e^'i eilct- mo-i'i,>ts9q8 Muoo ad a^jsi/srtsl saoriw §nxi>&90o-iq tx&si& d-ucr,i9;td-9l 9x1.+ ^nx*ievil9i) nx babsaooija aisgnsa i3n£ i)9d-as'itB 9T9w xed& bnSfba&oeqsive 10 bstsvooeib led^ls bbw a£W,i9V9Wox[,9'iJ:I aixfjsis'i -il9r[J- ft^J5ria oS bdiosqxa noal9^1 .cfoda ■©iid- al benilnoo a/;w 9Xl 9^9^[w,9o^B^'E oJ- onsa bbw 9rf Lna i)9i.3qa -niBW ni i)9Jb9900JJ3 9ii e-g^or eld no 9Ixxlw,ae9Ie^L:^^9v9M ,9lid'8sS o& &uodB aijw d-99lt rlonsi'i ^ d-Bdi aoisoE d-.r, 89Xdx*xor{*U£ 9jl^ gni oxJ-asIJ-A siict- gnol£ a9xnolo0 riaxIsnK lo 9nxl gloriw gdd" >IoBic^B IbxtocisM js JbnBlgnS od- Lnsa o.t f)9TXid-noo 9rf 3691 nl ,i)*ifiocf-59a axri* nl ,anoxd-B.+ n:Blq bns ebB'i& lo ab'xoJ. sdi 9^o1:9d■ bljsl 9cr oj od- blsjovf Ysri* aB,0il3lo^.cfon9t'?[ erid- gnxwolls 'to nagnBij grid- f)9worfa 9c[ "io loid^noo nisrfd- svlg Muow rloiriw Y'^-B^ffi^O'^ StOf) od- 21998 ylsiua ~njjcfjB rfixw m9rtd- riaimxjl i)Iuow,d-wo bgd-nxoq 9ri,aJ:r{T .ogcTsnns:}! erfd- rfojBigf) od- m9r(cf 9lcfBn9 oals bluow i)n/'?,T9cfjiTXd--qxr{a to ylgqi/e d'nBib .aexIlB xiaxIj^nK to yfjocr eldislBr bciB s-^tsL b riail^nS ericf r!IO^t d-uoxfgiro-irfj gtaxiT/ealg ajs,9isi{ c^osrfd- Y.r{^Tow9d-ort al d-I a92ij3m l)^JStas^fx^^ttua myo air' ''"o '.rrirfd-on a'v:Ba rToal9K,t99nso axrf 9'iot9d,i)99ijnx ,I>£r{ 9H .3a9iij9i 10 9onBt9Tll9Jb "iot noxcfxd-eq on -axfl to 90*395 9x1:^ nsifW .T9qiii9d auoljjqxnoa -^I^BIu^^xa b nworCa gnxji 9rIT .eloisl no LnBlgna nx bbw noaleW baitiist aBW 2I0XW bib JbnB -^id-lTlJqBO aid i)9d-Bnxttn9d' tlsadl to eosis^. sd& &sd& blad -ntsj&s'i no f)9d'aianx ,-£9V9worf,9H ,i)nBlanS 9VJ39l od- mid riaxv/ ton avBd od- em99a 9r£,f)9a£9l9-i asw 9r{,-f9:tt- v ^.t^Oi■{a ,n©x[w ,Jc>nBjgnx ,9on9X.b9croaxb aid Tot 9-ii;aB9lqai£> a'^nxJi dxio rld-xw £>9ix3lv nsscT d-oot no d-ga LnsIgnS wsM nx n9XH oilcfxrq cilsi'^Qo cOTI nl -vos extd- mo-'t ^'■fl^f;;r,'r dq^aoT. sbuloxe od pitr- j-'x:^rJ 5L^£,&.t!:^toai.b b ^B^^BdO liB toI Jaoq srid^ etijoea o& btiSfa^tea^ri0.zsB£y^ lu qx:ieTom;:; i>nB,i8d-OBiBdo iBoxd-xIoq d-^id It aasn b d-on asw YglbwCI .-^icTcfon 2J.22 New England had no reason to refjard him with respect or grati- tude. But he was a more reputable man, both in public and in private life, than his rival, and it is creditable to Nelson that his influence with the English government v/as exercised in fa- vour of Dudley. Nelson died in Massachusetts 4 Dec, 1734, The foregoing sketch of a great and good man might, unier less favourable circumstances, be sufficient to perpetu- ate his name. "But there is a Brochure In the possession of Dr .Richard Henry Derby, of New York, containing the Funeral ser- mon, preached by the Rev. Timothy Cutler ,D.D. , over the remains of the above John Nelson and his wife. The quaintness of the Discourse can be better judged after reading than any attempt at description here. It was decided to give the Two Title pa- ges and the Sermon as printed in 1734. The spelling, capital- ization and punctuation are the same as in the original, 1st Title.

Of this Nature is the pres- ent Subject , which is Death: whether o\ir ovra,or our Friends. But v/hen These have been long, and justly, by Vertue , Goodness and Ten- derness, entitled to our Love and Esteem, it is hard to govern ourselves rightly, and to soften the Thing by the happy Issue of it. For so weak:, carnal and selfish are our Minds, that they dwell too little on the bright, and too much on the dark side of the Dispensation: So that it is our Loss, and not their Gain, that affects us; not where they are gone, but whom they have left: not the Peace and Rest, and Security they have entered into, but the past Comforts, Pleasures and Assistances they have afforded us. And hereby we miss of those ad vantagesvts, instructive Uses to which Changes of this World are design 'd to lead us: we neith er become Wiser or Better ;Holy while we live, or happy when we dy The End of all is, to teach us what this World and what another is; and to mind both only in their places: the Former in a Subserviency to the Latter ; that , according to our Saviour's Express ion, when we fail, we may be received into everlasting Habitations, This is the End of the Righteous, the Merciful and the Upright Man: of whom the Prophet complains , That he perish- es.w A .

Then Eear delivers us over to an Almighty Displeasure, to the want of all Good, to endless and easeless Torments, and the most in- Vt'ard, sensible and insupportable Reflections, But here you may a^^e from the Text, That Death may be qualified: it may become easy, safe and joyful, I may therefore now consider: 1, ^p-P-: Q,ualif ication for an happy Death, which you may infer from these words, Each one walking in his uprightness. 2, Wherein it oloth consist, he shall enter into peace, they shall rest in their beds, iec,- 1, Here is before us the Qualification for an hap- py Death, Which I infer from those words, each one walking in his uprightness, or each one that walketh in uprightness. v;Bm xf^QoS. iaal aiiicf nsvsjnisO ;^e©;}">s9is Qiii ii e^&ta i'n£,jil,t436CI ne Bsj bJiel Y-eci €i; lOv aJ-Iu^aaA ct-nslijcfiud" ieom e*.ti,90J39^ e;i 9vi;g xio^oiqqA eriS && eisviila 9tud"BPI 9vl.+Ben93 XIA ,yoL f)r!£ 90b9*I oJ' ,Bnoi^q9 9t*T XleyiL 9-£om a'^x xfJ'iw gtjjctjsTII X^noi^BH :xi:tB9CI to -ijjo XIb eqnifii) .ti lo nqid'fiqxoid'n^ p>r'T .rnjA-fevA s^oei^a .e Kcfsri' ii asdvi hnii 1 9Xcf 991 e^ii/atuSt iwo Xi^ ti©ijsi;i rm^taYo"^ Jnaaatq ■v;ocfo oi btsd worf iXIjsO a'J-i ex gnxo'i9xq T/ox{,d-a9mB9 nx a9moo nsswvtgcT XX.e^'-^fol.■+i.t^£nB,snxoi) 1o aggB^navM "xwo XXs iiiiB,BU ^e9wcf^c^J^9^fiXxIlD Lxxis add" Las.axxlB'I 9.t;jo£ d-aorrr erf.i lo'^'i a9on98 arid- v/oll ._bcof^ ^rtivloo dTiSiBgxigv iaom c2> ,:^a9i9X)n9a- a'J-x lo :^09Gcfu Qxii mo-tl jxisi ax di^gH ai d-Bxiw d-s, d-n9ia9asmA iin.rj ^cfuoCE dil^ ^ool 9w,Xj3x£cHw i)ixs :9voJ baSf-i-pilJ.

When there is an exact and perfect Consent "between the Heart, the Tongue and the Hand; the inward Principle, and the outward Life and Conversation ;v/hen the I'fe.n is the same in his Closet, as in the Shop or -Exchange; strict to his Religion, fair in his Dealings; the same in all Corapanyjnot only good among the Sober and Serious, "but preserving his Vertue and recommending it, if not reproving Vice, among the Liher tines and Profane ;one vmom neither Good-nature nor Self-love doth ■betray;so that he is neither corrupted "by Flatteries, Solicitations, Kindnesses, Prom- ises or Threatenings,"by Friends or EneBiies,"by the Glare of Hon- our Sc Grandeur, the Sweetness of Pleasure or Prof it, by i^^ecessity, Conveniency,or Glory ;but, to all outward Considerations, prefers the Love ^d Fear of GOD, the Love of Man, and the Salvation of ^^ his own Soul. GOD is the supreme Object of his regards, his Maker , Preserver and Benefactor, his Lord and Judge ;and therefore Religion, the Natural or instituted way of acknowledge ing Him, will not be betray 'd in it's Doctrine, Discipline, Worship or Precepts: all his Enquiries, his Professions, his Behaviours , are here duly guided, and his Mistakes are not chosen, but the pompa»- sionable Effects of human Weakness: and thus he walks before GOD, as some render the latter Expression of the Text, Each one walking ."before Him.

Jor so he that walketh in his uprightness, in the Text, is call- ed the Merciful Man, in the verse foregoing. And how large or narrow soever this Pereon's Sphere of Life is, whether of the WSM. Man in his Commerce and Travel, ahroad,or of Sarah in her Tent, in their several Stations, the upright are innocent , useful and heneficient ;they live desired and dye lasientedl. For this is a Pereen that Perse ver,e th. ^.ij.. uprightness. It is not a single Act that v/ill denominate and recommend him: hut as uprightness is a Thing of invariable , eternal Excellency and Fitbess.we must be constant and steddy in it: the Integrity of the upright must guide himjand therein(in the Phrase of the Text)must he v,ralk till he comes to the End of his Journey, and the Reward of his Vertue. For (however it fares with the upright Man at present) the Course and Tendency of his v/ays is towards it. GOD is the highest Example of Uprightness; the only Source of It, and of oizr Happiness;to v/hose Love this leads 8.nd recommends us, preparing us for the fullest and most noble Emenations of it; of which we have the strongest Assurance from the Promises of the Mediation of Christ, atoning for those Imperfections that (alas I ) the most exact Life is tinged with. And so I pass to the Second Head, 2, To consider v/herein the Happiness of this Up- right Person doth consist;being thus represented in the Words before us: He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds. And I shall npw have a special Regard to that Happiness that commenceth immediately at Death. Here is a Negative Description implyed,and a Posi- tive one Explicit.

As miserable as this World is, we should he more loath to part with it, if the Mind were to be as sence- Isss as the Bodyjburyed with it in a Grave of utter Forge tful- ness and Stupidity, That Peace the Upright enter into, is a Blissful State, with all the lively agreeable Sensations That n hi administers. Joy always results from Peace: which composes Variances , and ends Strife, which quiets Anger and Fear, makes way for the Return of Love, of Friendly and Kind Off ices, and gives us an undisturbed Security in our Possessions, 2 It is implyed,That the Happiness of the Upright is not compleatjbut only inchoat,and in order to Perfection, They ft in r„ shall rest in their beds: denoting their Expectation, and not their Fruition of Supreme Happiness, as Calvin observes upon the Place, For in these Beds of Rest, their Bodies share not in their Felicity: They are waiting for the Adoption, even the Redemption of the Body, which, while in the Grave, retains the Marks of GOD's Wrath and Curse for Sin: and when Body and Soul are made happy, there is the Happiness of the whole Man, which must be greater than the Happiness of a single Part, In the mean time, their Happiness is begun: for the Flesh rests in hope, ( and full Assurance of Corapleat and everlasting Joys, in the Pres- ence and at the Right-hand of GOD, Troubles and Distresses are over: Happiness is with them, and before them.

The Positive Description of the Upright Man's Hap-"; piness is Explicit, in these two "Expression: He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their "beds, ^^ich words, tho' they conspire in the same general Sence,yet being different in No- tloh"', I shall particularly discant on; That we may thereby have a more enlarged and lively Apprehension of the gtate, 1 The first Expression before us, is, He shall enter into peace. In full accord with what the Psalmist had before said, Psal, 37:38, Keep innocency,and take heed unto the XIKgX thing that is right; for that shall bring a man peace at the last, Now is the Time for it, And now it is welcome ; after the Troubles Sc Hazards of this Militant State, Dulce Bellum Inex- pertis. We enter on the Stage of this World, making light, or thinking v/ith Pleasure, of the Difficulties, Dangers, and Opposi- tions, that will exercise all our Vigilance and Strength, Coiirage and Patience: but Nature is tired after the Experience of sev- enty or Fourscore years; and then it is £omfortable'^t6* her ,hav- ing fought lawfully, That her warfare is accomplished. Here are Worldly and here are Spiritual Enemies, that the Upright Kan, with others, has to encounter. Uprightness, tho ' a very amiable and beneficent thing, hath sometimes it's outward Enemies, It's Example shouls stir up Emulation, but it oftentimes only provokes Opposition, It reproves the Manners of a corrupt World, and - raises the Envy, the Spleen and Malice of resolute incorrigible Offenders; especially when there is a Clashing of interests and designs. Therefore Ba.y they, as Wisdom, 2: 12.

This Temper he signally dis- covered before his o'jm Sickness, and joyned with it a proper Sub- mission, as he saw the Sickness of his Consort dissolving that Bond of T.larriage that had so long held them together: and with this Temper he closed a Life of four-score and one ^ears, fear- ing GOD, and calmly and quietly trusting in his Mercy.

He has giren in his "Journal" a detailed account of the religious perplexities which troubled him from the age of nine or ten^ He ^^ married at nineteen, but did not overcome his religious anxieties till he heard John Fesley preach in Morefields in 1739, He re- turned at the end of 1740 to his native place, and began himself to preach and pray with his neighbours. V/esley was convinced of the sincerity and success of Nelson and others that he ought formally to recognize the work of lay preachers, and in May 1742, he visited Bristol, lodged in Nelson's cottage, and preached to his converts. Nelson now became the most successful and assidu- ous of Wesley's Evangelists, He kept for a year or two a Jour- nal of his experiences, which gives a minute and vivid picture of his labours in Yorkshire, Cornwall, and other parts of the Kingdom, An attempt was made to get rid of him by pressing him for a soldier, and he was for some months moved about the Country with his regiment till Charles Wesley, by finding a substitute, persuaded the authorities to release him, From 1750 to 1770 Nelson was stationed as official preacher to Methodist societies in London, Bristol, Birdstall, Leeds, Derby, Yarm and York, and paid one visit to Ireland, In 1773 he was stationed in the Leeds circuit,v/here he died of a fit of Apoplexy 18 July 1774, and was buried at Birstall. As a preacher he showed a power and express- ed an influence scarcely inferior to Wesley's, He was especi- ally at home with the poor and ignorant.

John Nelson died 4 Sept, 1657 , leaving a good portion to his son. The mother sent Robert for a time to St.Paul's School, but took him home "out of fondness." She set- tled at Dryfield, Gloucestershire, the home of her sister Anne, wife of George Hanger, also a member of the Levant Company, Here George Bull, afterwards Bishop of St.Bavids, then Rector of Sud- dington in the neighbourhood, acted as his tutor. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, as Fellow Commoner in 167 8, but never resided. He very earlj'" became known for his abilities and his charm of character. As early as 1680 he began an affectionate correspondence v/ith Tillotson,who was a friend of Sir Gabriel Roberts, He was chosen a fellow of the Royal Society 1 April 1680, He then went to Paris, accompanied by his School-Fellow, Edmund Halley,and afterwards made the Grand Tour, re turning in August 1682. During his travels he met at Rome Lady Theophilia Lucy,widov/ of Sir Kingsmill Lucy, of Bronxbourne, Hertfordshire, and second daughter of George, Earl of Berkeley. She had a son twelve years old hy her first husband, and was two years Nelson's Senior. He married her 23 Nov, 1682, the marriage having been postponed for a time in consequence of the elopement of her » sister with Lord Grey, of Werke, She had, it is said, been con- verted to Catholicism 8.t Rome by Cardinal Philip Howard, and Nelson was not aware of this until after their marriage ;but it seems more probable that her conversion did not take place until after that event, Tillotson endeavoured in vain to bring her back to the Church of England. s*.w . ^vl ndou lo fioa gnxviviixa y-^^o ®rf^ e£w,dcox aault SS,noi) 9d-if3Jj5f),Bi:oll9(I Y'^i "^O'SiioisM Ys^iiuT sIcfBTsbienoO" ^3^'■^:^fi^ b a£W,noaIslT nrioTj s^Til, ox{w,a:fi3cfofl I9j:^d■5T) liS !to •t^c^8i3 £ anxvssl, V56I.:fq3"~ ' "' -. .-^n^qmoO jn^vaJ exid" "io o* 9flix;t B lol J-TScToH cfnaa ^9^L:^orfI 9xlT ,no8 aid oJ- nol^-ioq boog ~J-9a 9.^:'" " .aasnLno't 1o &uo" esaori raid 2lood- .tucTjIoorfoS a ' IjJjsa .ToJud- 3xxi QB liscrojs.ijooa-iijoaiisxsxi 9d^ nx nojgnxi) i9V9n ojJcf,8V6I ni ^^^or^ffloO woIXal as^e-^b- 0,9291X00 Y;d-xnxiT BirT hni? 89xd-xXxcri5 axri lol: rrA'onif sm-sogTf y^Libb vi9r aH .hablaat ei-jsnoii'Oo'l'iB n& n^secf gn 08aX as \Lib9 aA .isjofi-taxio lu m-JBxio X^x^d■BT) ni8 "io f)^9x^'i b bbw oxiw,noa.+oXXxT xfJ-lw 9on9f)noqa9Ttoo XxnqA X y.isiooP.

He took her to Aix-la-Chapelle on account of her health. He left her there during a visit to England in 1688 ;but the revoluti'CTT de- termined him to return to the continent. He travelled with his wife and her son and daughter by her first marriage, to Rome. He lived for a time at Florence, and corresponded vrith .Tames Mel- fort, Jajnes II 's envoy to the Pope, He was a Jacobite in his sympathies, though not engaged in any active measvires. He re- turned by way of Germany and the Hague to England in 1691, and ' settled at Blackheath. The correspondence vdth Tillotson,from v/hom he was divided on both religious and moral grounds, was *• probably dropped for a time;but Tillo'tso^' was attena'6'a. by Nel- son during the last two nights of his illness, and died in his arms 22 Nov, 1694. Nelson afterwards helped to obtain an in- creased pension for l^lrs.Tillotson, He hacl meanwhile joined the non- Jurors. He became very intimate after 1691 with John^^- Kettlewell,the non-Juring Divine, and Kettlewell, dying in 1695, made him his Executor, It Was' by Kettlewell 's advice that he began the religious v^Titings by which he is best known, and he supplied Prancis Lee with materials for Kettlewell' s Life, It v^as through Kettlwwell that he came to know Hicks, and he was soon in close communication with all the non-juring circle, Dod- well, Collier .Leslie, Brokesby, and others. 0»»Vi -od&st^ nBmoR sdS noqij,668I rti bsiiailcrx/q, "noxsxiafl to 8ia&:^Bm J-xsn 3di ni fc^.e,^9If o^ baditoasi ai,noiJ-e©jjp sdi lo sbie oil suoigilst TxeiiT ,r'- ' '^^r j-n^d-ecfxjenjsiT cfani^iSB 9d"0TiV noalsK -lijs^ ioocf ePI .noxcJ-oollB -iierTt cfnud-elr) ton bxiJ,^9V9v.'o/i,a90^9'^91'ij:Jb iscf ^fial sH ,ri&LBQd *r©rf "io d-nwoooB no sIIgqjBjiO-.sI-xlA oi tad -9Jb nox;+jjIov9i &d.i- &un.e,nvi'on3l dascT ax erf xfoxxfw •'cd' agnxJ-i-iw ajjox§ll9i ed& nagacf d"I .©"ixJ a' II 9W9ld-d-9!JI lo^ BIJ3i:^^oBfl1t riJ-ir/ ssJ alo^B^'5 ioUqqua BBW 9r[ l)n.s,a2loxII won>I oJ- soibo sd isd& S.le^TrfiLid-9'X d-guotdi hsw -Loa:,sXoT:xo snx^i;(,-^on gdj- LLs di-ivf noxJ-jsoxnumnioo gaolo nx nooa , a-i9xfd-o f)nB,^ccfa93£o^a, axIaeJ, i9xllo0, Ilav/ N.44 Sydney Nelson(l800-1862) , composer , son of Solomon Nel- son, was "born in London 1 Jan. 1800.

The staple of their trade was the reprinting of Standard authors at a low price. In 1844 Thomas was entrusted with the establishment of a London branch, were r all the a a w: of which he had charge for more than a year. In 1846 the firm removed from the West "Bow to larger premises in Edinburgh at Hope Park. There all the operations connected with the produc- niap enftrt- I iiis tion of books-printing, stereotyping, bookbinding, lithographing, engraving and wood-cutting were carried on with great success. Ultimately the workmen numbered six- hundred, Thomas proved an •* aer ■. enargetic superintendant of the manufacturing department. From his earliest years he showed a remarkable turn for mechanics, and in 1880 he invented a rotary press, with curved stereotyped ne a plates fixed on cylinders , and v;ith a continuous web of paper. This press was the original of all the rotary presses now in use for newspaper work, but he did not patent the invention. He :v or a.n-i Sou also introduced into the business many devices in printing,bool£- binding, and photo-zincography, and the Nelsons became widely known for the beauty and accuracy of their typography. ana . s.-&vles ^,xoi.;{ (:xa38 At - The firm soon devoted itself largely to the production of story books, and books of travel and adventure by popular Au- thors, especially intended for Juvenile readers.

After the education Act of 1870 had created a demand for improved school-books, the Nelsons started the "Royal Readers" , which were at once imitated "by all the great publishing houses. A fire in 1878 completely destroy- ed their premises, nothing being saved but the stereot;;rped plates. But while the fire was raging Thomas telegraphed for new machin- es, and in a few days sheds were erected near the "Queen's" Park, and business proceeded as usual. Within a year huge buildings were raised, and all the departments were in full work on a lar- ger scale than before, Thomas extended his operations by becom- T,er • ing a partner in the firm of Bartholomew & Co., the well-known map engravers, whose premises adjoined his own, Nelson was a liberal in politics and a free Churchman, He identified his firm with the free Church, and published its "Monthly Record" , Children's Record", and other official documents- He wrote numerous letters to the "Scotsman" , advocating disestab- lishment without disendowment.

With his brother Thomas, William gradually built up the business. He was in every respect a capable man of business, but took life much more leisurely than his brother, and in his beautiful home at Salisbury Green gratified many re- fined tastes, such as the collection of china and bronzes , gath- ered together in travel in all parts of the world. He also in- terested himself in the improvement of his native city, and he expended large sums in restoring St. Bernard's Well on the Water of Leith,the Argyll Tower, St .Margaret 's Chapel, and the Old Sco- tish Parliament House in Edinburgh Castle.

He graduated B.A. from Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1776, and proceeded M.A. in 1781. The same year he was ordained, and in January 17 84 was appointed to the Eec- X -to rofeo-t" n tory of Brandon-Parva,in Norfolk. He had before this consulted r ^.on ;u-'d Fur} .''.o.i.,vcr- his brother on the advisability of entering the Navy as a Chap- ^ lain, and in June 1784 was appointed to the Boreas , though he did n o f not join her imtil September. In her he went to the West Indie^' but the restraint would seem to have been distatsteful to him, and though on leave away from the ship for most of the time, he '.. it lu tl- obtained his discharge from her and from the service in October 1786. It has been urged against his brother that, as Captain of the ship, he tolerated the abuse of his Chaplain's drawing pay without performing his duties. Nelson certainly did not perform the duties, but on the other hand, he did not receive any pay( vide Pay-Book of Boreas) ; a singular fact, which is evidence of a scrupulous nicety very unusual at the time. On Nelson's return to England he married, in November 17 86, Sarah, daughter of Rev. Henry Yonge,and settled dovm as a ,. ^.T;).■i"■ Country parson at Brandon-Parva,from which, in 1797, he v;as trana-^ ferred to Hilborough,also in Norfolk.

The Admiral's glory reflected on the clergyman. In January 1802 the University of Cambridge conferr- ed en him the degree of D.B. as did Oxford in the following June and in I4ay 1603 he was appointed to a prehendal stall at Cantei*- bury. By the death of his "brother, 21 Octoher 1505, he succeeded as Baron Nelson of the Nile/the viscounty "becoming extinct, as limited hy patent to male heirs of the body. On November 10, however, he was created Viscount Merton and Earl Nelson of Tra- falgar and Merton, and in the following year he succeeded as Di;ike of Bronte', A pension of 5,000 pounds sterling a year was gran- ted to him by Parliajnent ,and the sum of 90,000 pounds sterling for the purchase of a Mansion and Estates; this svim was in 1814 laid out in the purchase of Stanlynoh Park, near Do'OTiton,in Wilt- shire, He died in London 28 Februa,ry 1835, Nelson is described by Sir William Hatham as large and heavj'' in his person, boisterous in his manner, "his own voice very loud, and he exceedingly KSiiX. and impatiently deaf." Nelson has been unjustly accused of concealing the last codicile to Lord *-^ Nelson's Will in favour of Ladj'- Hamilton till the government accompanying grantM the Earldom was settled on himself , and then throwing A it to her in an insulting manner. The document from the first placed in the hands of the officers of the government , who decid- ed that nothing could be done about it. Under the altered con- ditions tmd demeanor of Lady Hamilton, Nelson gradually dropped the intimacy, and almost the acquaintanceship.

Wolfred lTelson(1792-1863) .Canadian insurgent , was horn at Montreal 16 July 1792. His father ,?^illiam Nelson, held an IB, office in the Commissariat department of the Royal Navy;his mother was the daughter of an American loyalist named Dies, owner of an Estate on the Hudson River, who emigrated to Canada after the revolt of the American Colonies. In December 1805 T^olfred Nelson was apprenticed to Dr. Carter, of the army medical staff , then residing at Sorel, In January 1811 he obtained his medical diploma, and began practice as a physician at St. Denis, on the Richelieu river, near Montreal. In the war between Eng- land and the United States in 1812 Nelson accompanied the ma- litia regiment of his district to the frontier. During the next (■' i. ''• f ■■ '■"! ri i>r, ■■- c- ,r? V. -t- ^- fifteen years he remained at St. Denis. Besides his medical work he carried on a distillery and a brev/ery. He was made a •'^; 'v th. justice of the peace, and rapidly acquired great influence among ft , ^-nrf the surrounding people, the vast majority of whom v/ere French Canadians or Inhabitants. Though coming of a rigidly royalist and tory stock, Nelson completely identified himself with the inhabitants, and headed the cry raised by them for an alteration in the exclusive system of government then in Vogue. In 1827 he contested the borough of William Henry against James Stuart, a the attorney-general for Lower Canada, and defeated him by three votes. In the assembly Nelson closely allied himself with Louis ■17 Papineau.head of the French party.

N.56 meeting of delegates from six counties of lower Canada was held at St. Charles. "Nelson acted as Chairman, and so violent v;as the tone of his speech, that the Governor , Lord Gosford, issued a war- rant against him and Papineau;a reward of two- thousand dollars was offered for Nelson's apprehension, Papineau urged surren- der, hut Nelson, bent upon rebellion, entrenched himself, with George Cartier and a number of French inhabitants , in his Brew- ery, a large stone house at the north-west corner of St.Denis, and prepared for armed resistance. On 23 November he beat off an attack made by Colonel Gore and a company of the 23d regi- ment with heavy loss. Two days alter, however, the rebel camp at St. Charles, seven miles distant from St .Denis ,7ras stormed by the English. Nelson now evacuated his position, tried to escape to American soil, but was captured and brought to Montreal a prisoner. His brother , Robert Nelson, who had joined him, escaped to the American States, whence he organized an expedition against Canada during 1838. Nelson remained in Goal till 1838, when the High Commissioner, Lord Durham, on his own responsibility, senten- ced him and a number of other prisoners to transportation to Bermuda. The sentence was reversed as invalid by the Home Gov- ernment, and Nelson was set free. But, fearing subsequent pros- ecution, he retired to America in November 1838. He returned to Montreal in 1842, after the amnesty, and resumed his practice as a physician. His popularity continued, and in 1845, he was elec- ted to the Canadian Assembly for the County of Richelieu in op- position to D.B.Viger. He supported the Rebellion Losses Bill, a measure bitterly resented by the English and Loyalist party; but as a general rule he showed himself opposed to any extreme action. He thus recovered favoixr with the Government. In 1847 he was appointed chairman of the Borad of Health, In 1851 he as.K ^jp^r p,iw Bbfin^O *i9v/oI to eexJ-nuoo xls moil aSv^B^elt ... : -cfesxc edo aisvv SasLoiv oa i)n£,njsnni£xiO a£ f)9d"o£ noalsF .asIi.silO.d'S d'B -^Bw £ beuBai ^btolaox) f)noJ,Tom9voO 9dcf cf3r:'J,ifo99qs sin' ^o 9n0vt B'iff.LLob t: i^-ow.+ "^o FTIJSW9T B;u£9nJ:q£^ Jorti? mid ^anis^B drtsi -^9^^0a l)9s"fJ^f jj£9niqa4. .rtoIafiSxl&'iQqB 3*noal9K ^o'i i39'i9t'lo bbw xfct-iWjlIsBmi :tJ-n9,noiIl9cf9T noqif J-ngd'jnoalgK wtwcf ,iei) ,axnou.,Js lu isn'soo Jasv.'-xi'd-ion er" sauoii sncja ssibI s,\;"js llo cfsgcT 9xf TgdmevoW 52 nO .9on£;taxa9i £)9iniB lol fc9*isqeiq bns -l'^9i JbSS 9rf:f "io i^njio-mon s bnB gtot) I9nolo0 vcf ebj-m jior:^jb n.B qrnBO l9d'9i gx^ich , T;6V3Woii,is jxa a^fifc owT .eaol yvbsxi njxw drignr ■'Ccr Jb9£tfiod-a BBW, einsCE, d-8 rao^l d-ns^axf) 39Ixk n9V98, a9I^Br[0.:t3 is 9qBoe9 0^ ^9J:id-,nox.+xaoq alxl beisisoBre v/on noal9T'T .dzil-^nK sdi' B iBei^cioli oJ- ;trisjjo-£d br.B betis&qso asw o'";jcf,Iloa nfioiigrnA od" f)9qBoa9,xiiixl bsniol bad oriw,noel9TI d■^9crofl, i9rid'oncf axH ,^9^cBx^q cfanxB§B noiJ-xfcscrxs n^? bsziciB-gto ed 9on9rfw,a9.+Bct'3 nsox^gxriA edi od" 9dd- n9xiw,octix ixxcr ixioij nx i39nJ:Bm9T noal9T!r .ttCbl sniiui) Bi)iirieO -ngJ-ngajY^-f-f-fcTlanoqagT rrvz-o alxi ^o,rfIBx[^JJC^ i)ToJ,i9noieaxmmoO xisxH od' noxd'Bd'tcqaRetd" ocf etgnoaxTq igjid'o lo tgcfmirn £ bnB mid bso -vot' giiioK 9xid- \;cf bilBvni sb l39aic9V9-i aBW gong^nga 9r£T .BbuateS. -aoTq J-nsjjpgacfua sniiB 9*5:,. tuff .asntl c^9a bbw noalgTI f)nB , d-n9mn"£9 oi f)9mi;;t9T 9H .8581 igcfmgyoT'i: rrx BOi'tgniA c.t bs'tiist 3d,noituos a£ go-tcfoBtq aia bQtvjssi br.B^x&asrmiB 9aj t9d"'iB,Si'6I nx Ij=tt-xJ-noM -09l9 aBW 9x1,5^81 ni bnB^beisnitctoo Y^-c^'SXiJqoq exH ,nBiois\,dq b -qo nJ. j;j9xl9r{oxH lo y^^J^^o^^ ^^^ *fo'i YlcfrrrgeaA nBxJbBnBO 9xi^ oJ- t9;t ,IIxS egaaoi-i nuxll9cf9fl edi LeaTuqqjja 9H .ig^j'', .^ ' ■^ox.ilacq IX^iBq d'alljBYoJ fifiB xfallgna gxio vrf i)9dn989i -^Iied-d-ltf 9^JJ8B9ml b e£a:9t*x9 vhb oJ- Lgaoqqo llgaicxxl bav^ods ed elut iBtgngg b sb d'jJcT T|k8I nl .cfnsxnnisvoO sxfcf riJ-xw 'nrovjsl .b9^9voo9^ auifvt ■'""'-' .f-r.^+OB 9xf I58I nl ,xfJ-lB9H "io BbioS 9Xic>- to nfimtlBilo f>9c)'nioqqB bbw 9x1 N.57 was inspector of prisons, and in 1859 he rose to the chairmanship of the "borad of Prison Inspectors, He wrote numerous reports on the state of the prisons, and also contributed on political 1: 8, Subjects to a Montreal Paper, "La Minerva," He died in Montreal in 1863.

His father was one of a conpan;/- of settlers, that emigrated from the North of Ireland, about the year 1762, with their pastor, the Re v. Dr. Clark, and settled at Salem, now in Washington County, His son, John Rogers Nelson, was married a short time after the close of the Revolutionary War, to Miss Jean McCarter,and settled at Hebron, The old Homestead still remains in the possession of the family, and was long occupied by John Jay Nelson, the eldest son of John Rogers Nelson, who lived to a good old age, Samuel Nelson's early life was spent on the farm. He attended the District School till he 3HQf had mastered the branch es taught there, and was next sent to the Classical School in Salem; taught by the Rev, Mr, Gross, and afterwards fitted for Col- lege at the Granville Academy; of which, the Principal was the celebrated Salem Towne,who had once been the instructor of Gov- ernor Marcy, In 1811, being then Nineteen years old, he entered Middlebury College, Vt, , and graduated in 1813.

He had by this time a reputation, which extended all through Courtlandt County and its vicinity. -ftsM oo hevotn aJbooW 9gi)uTi bn^^berLcBeib asw irnxl srfJ- Qir.li J-^rfd" bsxn.sfTfiToooB hobIsTI.tJiI tsiIcHiIw xdnuo'O noai sg^IIlv ©rid- n'l noiaas'io'iq elif lo soid-o-Bsq edd- ns-gsd abtswieilB XiSiBqionttq asw afeeniawcf alxf bissy Xs^^y93 tol .:fl)aaIct-iyoD "io 9r „iu-^onoM B ^taojfllB *M-v;'0-t,n9 3" j..ii.:.,Qo ij^oO aaoid'ewL '="^"*- rrx alH • .v^tnjJoO d-F>n£ld"*KToO Io ervj^oi atadjisoe d-arrxsg-s i)9i)io9£i ssw,e&on 2fooc^a s noqiJ,aB9l5 nommoO to d■^iJoD §rcxi>nx'il ,9-farf tB9^ ^9&&em &di J•aI-,^^v^wo£f,i•o^ oxh 9xf .tjjcfjcnxd 9x£,Ib§9XIx asw rrox'eJiosfy gifJ- i^ficfi , a^Ioocf alit oct- 9on9"t9lt9t noqu i)nB,9i)iaB ctga ^n9m9sI>+,'t9o.Rl a2l99v/ waT- a .ani^IqiMoT 6&smi&cii no sfll95 ,d-I)nj3ld-ti/oO to iQ^J-aBrad-aol a^s ongicJ'nJLoqq^ grid- to d-nscfrauonx sdf aBW oi{w,IlBi)ni5fl Il9v/aoR foi,Bl^ dd-xw exatsd- ,Snxaas*fii3cfiH9 d'sdw9iao-«t nox^txaoq aid 9 bniii , 9mi i dadi >tB 9oitto -nx n99d" tl9am±d J5.Bd tijsfcnsfl -lotJsM d^sd.t ,i9V9T0d,i)9iiqenfitd- cM SI3I nl .noalsTI.'^I to ^ngra^nioqqB Qd& gnituooTq ni Ifidngxiurtia -;t09l9 asw noaXaH.TM f^"'' rol.tn9vnoO lenoiiad-icfenoD edi bled aBw J-asaoIo 9d.t"9Tjsg 9d 919II .Y^rri'oD cM)nsI.tT:0oD mo^t odB^gXsi) b i)s -mid Lgdaxusnx.i-ai/) l)nB,anoxd-BOxti£)orff Jbgaoqotq 9d;t od- xioxJ-aed-iB noid-xXocfB gri* 9T[troo^q o& atJJOVBabno '^x-^ v.cr,y;XX£io9qB9 s^'Or^tXsa 9flii.t aid* ^:c^ £>Bd 9H ,aT9c)-ov to noiJ^oxtllXBJjp Yd'"i9qonq &dJ- to bns x&[{sjo^ d-i)nBX*"ijjoO dgwoidj- XXb J>9i)n9d-X9 d9idw,noxd'sJjjq9T s .vc^inloiv ad"i N.60 His practice now yielded him a handsome income, and in 1818, he was married to Miss Pamelia ^i^oods , daughter of Judge Woods, his former Preceptor. This m.arriage, though a happy one, '■was terminated by Mrs. Nelson's death some three years later. She v/as a most estim.a'ble woman, and her hushand was devotedly attached to her. In the year 18?,3 Yates hecame GoYernor under the new Constitution, One of his first acts was to nominate I''[r. Nelson to the office of Circuit Judge, and the nomination was confirmed ^■8^ thi' Senate on the First of Pcbruary 1823. This District comprized the counties of Eroome, Chenango, C our tlandt, Delaware, Otsego, Tioga, Tompkins, Steuhen and Yates. This position he occu- pied for eight 3'-ears,and with it "began a judicial career, which in dmration and usefulness has not heen surpassed "'in this Coun- try, -and prohahly not in the history of Jurisprudence, His '" jurisdiction embraced Civil and Crim-inal cases, a.nd the Judicial acvimen of the presiding Judge was often severely tested. Judge Nelson always proved himself fully competent '^^o fulfill the duties involving upon him. The death of his wife, and the conviction that he was outgrowing the field in which he was labouring. Courtlandt Countir being at that time ■•"dne of the I».)?^fflnt least populous counties of the State, made ' a further residence seem no longer desirable to him. Other lavryers of ability had began their career there, and after the discipline of a fevj years, removed to localities offering a wid- er scope for their talents. He, therefore, took up his residence at Cooperstown, in the place then kno^jm as "Apple Hill", which was subsequently purchased by Mr. Edward Clark, v.'ho changed its name to "Fernleigh," Coopersto^^^l continued to be his home to the end of his life.

In 1825, before iiis removal to Cooperstown,he was mar- ried,a second time, to Miss Catherine A.Russell, the daughter of Judge Russell of Cooperstov.Tija marriage which proved to he a most happy one, But a wider sphere of usefulness was ahout to he open- ed to him. In 1831 the term of Nathan Sanford as United States Senator expired, and he was succeeded hy William L,Marcy« The celebrated "Albany Regency" was now in full power, and it alv/ays endeavoured to secure the appointment of the most capable men ' for every position. Under this Regency, Judge Nelson, was, on the First of February, made Associate Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, It is hardly necessary to state, that in this new field, he was entirely at home. Judge Savage, his old precep- tor, was Chief Justice. In August 1837 , Governor Marcy appoint- ed him Chief Justice, upon the retirement of Judge Savage; a po- sition he retained for eight years. t V'. p The Supreme Court at this period was a Tribunal of great dignity and learning;and its decisions had long been cit- ed in all the states of the Union, where the Common Lav? prevail- ed. As long as Judge Nelson occupied the bench, this reputation was maintained. But all this was changed by the Constitutional Convention in 1846, when all jurisdiction in law and equity was blended in the Supreme Court, a.nd its judges became elective; thus virtually creating Eight Supreme Courts of co-ordinate pow- ers, -often adverse to each other in decisions. In March 1845, Judge Nelson was prom-oted to still wid- er field of duty. The death of Smith Thompson in 1844, had created a vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the Unit- ed States. The president , Mr .Tyler , had nominated John C.Spencer, but the Senate refused to confirm the nomination.

It is sufficient to state that the "Dredd Scott Decision" , was an important factor in bringing on the greatest Fratricidal contest the World has ever seen, -the Civil War of the JRehellion,-and by that contest and the "Eman- cipation Proclamation , issued by the "Immortal Lincoln" , made the Negro a free man, -"an Integral part of the Nation," By theXV Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Negro obtained his right of suffrage.) Many and bitter v/ere the speeches made against this "ted ■ the i\)hfy'ir'f.y^ r.r-.. decision, A struggle soon v/as to begin, that would reverse the decision against the Negro. During the Civil War Judge Nelson soon demonstrated where his sympathies lay in regard to the Ne- that year. gro,and just as soon as the Constitution gave him jurisdiction over the Negro, just that soon did he demonstrate his willingness to make him a citizen, -equal in suffrage with the white man, the i. During the v/hole struggle he continued to faithfully discharge his official duties, and president Lincoln often relied upon his judgement in matters of the utmost importance to the ',.e ar ; National v;elfare. He won and retained the confidence of the party then in power, and his loyalty was never questioned. He disapproved of many invasions of the rights of the citizen, which were made under the military authority, but never by v;ord or act did he obstruct the maintenance of the government. Els labours v;ere, however , not vrholly confined to the ': cor prescribed duties of the Court, His counsel was frequently the sought upon the gravest questions of^ state.

The people cherished the same confidence in his judicial prohity that they had "before this period, and succes sive administrations have often asked for and acted upon his caln calm sohriety of judgement. President Lincoln and Secretary Seward placed great faith in his wisdom, and many times consult- ed him upon delicate questions arising out of the crisis of the Civil War. In 1871 he was selected as one of the American Com- missioners on the "Joint High Commission" , for the purpose of settling the "Alahama Claims" , which met in Washington, D. C, , in that year. His familiarity with "International Law", his legal acuteness,a,ccompanied "by persuasive manners , frankness , conscient- iousness and learning, admirably fitted him for taking part in the solution of that vexed controversy, while his high reputation for personallXJ^ probity won for hira the utmost consideration and regard. He could bring into play all the tact of the diplomat- ist, the erudition and acuteness of the jurist, the sagacity of the statesman, and the iron will of the executive officer. Eis patriotism was beyond question, his industry indefatigueable. The sessions of the commission had almost come to a close, v.-hen those having the custody of the rooms in which the commissioners were sitting, carelessly let the fires go out. Judge Nelson contracted a severe cold, and this soon brought on an attack of Lumbago, from v/hich he never recovered. He sought medical advice but in vain.

He has left a deep impression upon our Jurisprudence, and v/ill rank in history as the peer of any who ever wore the Ermine, Jadge Nelson's nsme v/as more than once mentioned in connection v/ith the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. But others v/ere awarded the honour. His sagacity would have enahled him, as it was "believed at the time, to have determined all the vexed questions that were created by the slavery agita- tion, and his popularity would have caused the people to acquies- ce in his acts. It was indeed the opinion of many, that if he had "been President before the outbreak of the Civil War, that >, calamity could have been averted. Judge Nelson, in 1829, moved to the estate near Coopers- town, known as "Penimore" , there he continued to reside till the death of Mrs. Russell in I838;\7hen JJirs, Nelson, an only daughter, deemed it advisable to return to the home stead, which remained his home until his death, i Judge Nelson v/as strong in his home attachments. Prob- ably no other man ever assumed less in consequence of his exalt- ed position, TVlthough always dignified, he never repelled any one in humble life, and he found no greater pleasure than to throw off the cares of office and discuss with some farmer, whom he might chance to meet on the street, the state of the weather and crops. The almost extreme modesty of his public life, and its counterpart in thoroughly developed domestic virtues, which not only made him beloved in his family, but also endeared him to all whom he came in contact. Gentle in his manners, he never descended into a familiarity which would encourage disrespect; nor did he repel the intimacy of friendship, which constitutes the greatest joys of life. His figure was erect till his last years. He was as cheerful a,nd his intellect as clear and strong at eighty, as when he was but twenty years of age. He was slow in forming his judgements of men, and was generally reluctant to express them when unfavourable. In his profession he acquired a competent estate, and in its besto^raient he was generous, careful arid eminentl:/ judicious , neither stingy nor profuse. He was the intimate personal friend and associate of another notable res- ident of Cooperstovm, the late James Feninore Cooper, His ap- pointment as Chief Justice of the State took place soon after Mr, Cooper purchased "The Hall", and the latter always spoke of him as, "His Pr lend, the Judge, or The Chief." The two were often seen together on the street, and in fine personal presence and noble bearing, they bore a striking resemblence to each other, Mr, Cooper had a great deal of the lawyer in him, and often dis- cussed and consulted with the Judge on the political condition of the Country in its legal aspect. They were both fond of farm ing and other rural pursuits ;and as their farms lay on opposite sides, about a mile distant from each other, they were able, fre- quently to compare notes as to their success as Agriculturists, It is a matter of interest to note, that a part of the farm "Pen- imore" was formerly in the possession of Tir. Cooper, and the site of the house which he built, lies immediately in front of the present house at "Penimore," The Judge's excellent health was doubtless due to the frequency and regularity of phj'-sical exercise. Until within two or three years of his decease, his favorite mode of exercise was horseback riding; and his daily visit to the farm was often made in this way, long after he had reached the allotted "Three-Score 66.

He was eduacted at Washington College, Virginia, and studied medicine at Danville, Kentuclcey,and at Philadelphia, He joined a Kentuckey regiment r as a sugeon in the War of 1812, and proceeded to Canada, Ofa his return he resumed the practice of Medicine, After making a pro- fession of religion in early life, he lapsed into infidelity, but at length returned to his religious convictions, became a clergy- man in the Presbyterian Church, and was licensed to preach in 1825. He preached for nearly three years in Tennessee, and was engaged in the publication of a periodical called "The Calvin- istic JIagazine." In 1828 he succeeded his brother, Samuel, as pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Danville, Kentuckey, In 1830 he removed to Missouri , established a college in Marion County, twelve miles from Palmyra, of which he became the first president. In 1836 ov/ing to the slavery question, Dr. Nelson, who was an ardent Emancipationist, removed to the neighbourhood of Q,uincy, Illinois, and established an Institute for the educa- tion of young men. In the latter part of his life he was sub- ject to Epilepsy, which gradually impaired his faculties. He published the celebrated work, "The Cause and Cure of Infidel- ity", which has passed through several editions.

Others of the name had settled in different parts of the country; as, "Scotch Tom Nelson, in Virginia; Temple Nelson, in Boston ;v;hile still oth- ers had settled in the forests of Maine; all clinging to some trace of their origin, in the Mother- Country, with indisputable exactness. But the Nelson, of whom this is to Toe a short account kept no record of his origin, at least none has ever been found by which he could be traced to the Mother Country, ^rhatever his origin, there is not proof lacking that he was the progeni- tor of the vast number of Nelsons inhabiting the counties of Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester , and several who have migrated to more remote parts of this broad land. The name is prominently mentioned in the early annals of Virginia, and the members of the family, have, at the differ- ent periods of time taken an active interest in the affairs of that state, and in some instances have become identified with the intersets of the Nation, For patriotism and devotion to duty, o J a as they saw it, they have ever been foremost; giving freely of ■v1 t" •- their time, for tune, and when necessary have sacrificed their lives for the benefit of the common weal.

The date of his coning and the name of the ship which carried him to these shores are alike unknown. From the prominence which his name takes in the af- fairs of the colony, one might be led to believe that he may have been present at the surrender of Nieu Amsterdam to the Duke of York's Fleet of war-ships, he may have seen Petros Stuy- vesant stalking about on his wooden leg urging on the Dutch sol- diers, and he may have witnessed the Dutch CJovernor's discomfit- ure in having to surrender the Province to the English. Wheth- er these things be true, History is silent. --'-^- — ^-i.-- Before giving the life or what we know of the life of John Nelson, in America, it may nut be amiss to review some of the political history of the time, and in addition try to convey some of the troubles with which the early colonists had to contend, not only against famine and failure of crops, v;ild beasts and wilder savages ;but against the plottings of secret enemies, far more formidable and deadly and greater to be feared, than any of the before mentioned in the wilds of America; these enemies were both political and religious. A short history of these events may be of some interest to the student of American History, More might be given but only such as relates to the history of the colonies and John Nelson, and the part each took in the con- troversy, A short time after his arrival in this country, John Nelson took up his residence in Flatlands. After a residence of several years in Flatlands, and having married the daughter of' Dirck Jans van der Vleet.he established himself on a farm in the town of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, in the then Province of i[ToY wsK 9Jl& 1o ^od•o^^§o^q bciB emsa exfJ- "io J-eixl sdT add- Las snixnoo aid "io 9:^Bij sdT .Bf'erft^t.Bn.oT^f ,+^3 t©*f-I f--'- gf)nj3l sjlxIjs 9ie 89Toxi8 989ii:f od- aid bsii^BO doixiw qxde 9xlu io emMti -ts esii^ nx sgjtisd- 9ini?n airi doxriw 9on9nxnioTq 9Jld- moiT .fiwonilnjj erl in-'- ■^^T.-^jiAr: .^-^ fc^f ©cT ^xf^x'" '^'^o.YnoIoo 9,l':t to Btisl &di oi rasb-xsd-amA jjexW lo I9i)n9^*tjja 9x1;^ d-£ d'n9B9Tq n99cf gvsxi -ACU*8 8otJ^9^ n99B 9V£x[ v£m 9££,aqJ:xia-iew lo d-ogf? a^alioY lo 9:£jjC[ -loa doysjd edd- no snl§ijj §9l n9f>oov/ exrf no o^jjocTb g^x^IIflc^a ^HBeev -ii'imooaib a'"iom9vo0 xlocfjjCI gxid" Jbseagnctxw ersd \;£Ci sxt i)nB,atexi; '-£[cf9xrf .xfaxljana adi 0.+ gonivoil 9£[j- i9f)n9'i*ixra oi -gctlv&d nx jj-uj -■- — ,&n&Lie ax Y"to*sxE[,9jj"i:t 9cf esnixfJ- oa9riJ "le Io etiL sdi Io wonsi 9w cfjBifw to q^IL edd^ :gi:iiYX-g etoleE 9xid- ^o smoe w91v9Tl od- aexrafi 9cf ivn ^.em ii^BoitemA nx,noRl9W m{oT> araoa Y^vnoo oi y*i* noxj-xhbjs ni hof , gmxJ- ed:^ Jo xtoisld LsoJit£oq_ ibns&noo oc)- b£d acJ-alnoIoo y;-t^-69 sxiJ- doldv/ dilw aslduoti adi' "io bas aJ-aB9cr MJ:w,aqoto Io stL'Llsl bus enlnLsJ.

This farm, which was situated in the vicinity of the residences of the Heathcotes, DeLanceys,and other prominent col- onial families , was kept in^ |he f gji4;^^^„ ^ox;, mguiy , generat ions ; and in a section of it set apart for the purpose, as it was KJCCKiOiXK the custom "before Cemetries were founded, were interred as they died, its, owners, thfir wijes and the ir^ children. ^,. ,,,,„ That the first settler was of Puritan Stock is undouht ed. The names "bourne by his children and Grand- children, which were mostly taken from the Old Testament, is almost sufficient evidence to prove the proposition. It is amazing that any par- ent, since the dawn of learning and civilization, should confer upon a^ son such a strange name as Polycarpus,or such an unwield- ly one as that of Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. Even though the latter was the name, which hy the Command of the Lord, was written on a Great Roll, and was given to him "by the Prophetess(See Isa.,Chap. viii,vss.l & 4) ;the interpretation of which is"hastening to the Spoil," Yet that was one of the names in the Nelson family tw- hundred years and more ago; and v;ith such other names from the same source;as,Jaco"b, Joshua, Reuben, Enoch, Shadrach, and Mephibo- 3eth,some of which continued in the family for many generations afterwards, is a marked piece of evidence that the founder of tis family was identified with the Parliament cause, against the Ja- cobites and Papists, Another fact, which has an historical interest, may be cited in support of this view, Pew persons at this day can re- alize the condition of affairs in this land, at the t ime that James had abdicated the Throne of England, and the Prince of Or- ange and his wife had been placed thereon. All Europe was in more or less of a ferment. The fires of religious zeal inten-^ sified the disturbances.

Tradition that John Nelson emigrated from the town of Norfolic, England, be- tween the years of 1660 and 1665 ;and that the ship he embarqued in was driven by stress of weather upon the coast of France, The passengers were distributed among the peasants along the coast and in the smaller towns lintil such time as the ship could be repaired and proceed on her way. It appears , however, that John Nelson was given quarters in the family of a French Physi- cian, Polycarpus by name; and with him John stayed until the ship sailed. Agreeable to his Puritanic principles, John Nelson offer- ed to reimburse Dr .Polycarpus for his kindness towards himself and others, but Polycarpus refused any payment \7hatever ,but made this one request of John Nelson; that when he was married and settled in his American home, that John should name his first- born son, Polycarpus, How well John kept his word of promise wi v/ill be seen later on;but no account remains b;^ v;hich we can ever know that John Nelson ever informed Dr. Polycarpus that he had fived that naiae to his first-born, son.

The name is found in the early records variously writ- ten as,Dirck Jansen Van Der Vliet, Derek Eanse Vander Vlicht,or Vliedtjor Viet, and sometimes Vlit. It vrould be worse than use- less to try to trace the name hy any one manner or form of spel- ling; since every Dutchman in the colony had a way and sometimes several v;ays of v/riting and pronouncing his own name, and their careleeeness in "blundering over what we now consider as of vi- tal importance, signified nothing to an;/ one but a Dutchman, and which must "be understood in Dutch;s.nd to make matters worse, no two Dutchmen were ever knovm to have understood the same utter- ance or transaction alike. The language is neither musical nor harmonious, "but it is charming in its makeup, so much so that it does not require a very great stretch of the imagination for one to make up his mind as to its value commercially. The very structure of the language, and their manner of dealing in mat- ters of trade prompted Leigh Hunt to break loose in the follow- ing bit of slander on the Dutchman's honesty: "In matters of commerce , 'tis the fault of the Dutch, In giving too little and taking too much," It is not surprizing that John Nelson should, among a people who did not pronounce their names the same way twice a day, almost lose his identity, Ee may have endeavoured to pre- vent any great number of mistakes in the spelling or pronnoun- ciation of his name, and if he did he most signally failed in the attempt j as will "be seen in the following variations of spel- ling.

Very little data has been secured, even by the most careful searching of records, and only one headstone , that of his son,Polycarpus ,has been found to throw any light upon the begin- nings of the family. As some proof, at least, must be adduced to esta.blish descent and claims to descent ,v/hat proof already ex- ists is here given with the hope that it v/ill suffice until more of a substantial nature is found v/ill establish a stronger hold upon the credulity of the reading public. As already stated, John Nelson v/as not John Nelson all through his life;for,v/^ile he lived in Platlands v/ith his Dutch wife, and among her Dutch relatives and neighbours , he v/as some- body else, if the manner in which his name was spelled and pro- out some o-f ' -i nounoed by those good Burghers. But v/hen he appeared on his ovm farm in Mamaroneck v/e hear no more of his Dutchyness,and here he became once more the John Nelson of former days, and the Nelse Elsen,Elizen,etc. ,of former days forever disappeared from his family name. While in Platlands none of his children v/ere bap- tized a.fi Nelson, but with the loose perversions of that name, as in 1' has already been stated; and it was not until he had settled at Mamaroneck does the perfect name of Nelson appear in connection with any of his family. The names of his children are given as they v/ere recorded on the various Church Baptismal rolls of the Dutch Church of Brooklyn, and their identity can only be made out by their Phonetic sounds, and not their Authography: sld jLfocfs riij8*T90 ai v.nitiion tud ^b^^&Bisbciij don bxi> v;IcrBd"o"tq sd 3d:t YcT soB'iii/a sxfd- o:>- ctrfgi/o-icf noscf snivBxl Isvs luomurl to sansa _j.,.,.ftTr .n.ismriocJ'jjCr s d^jJcT y^-s od" sj^sugasl d'Siid' lo esnin^ism nxBd'Tsonu ai>xi9xi'i, asvld'fils-i e'atjtw axif lo anoinxqo axxf nsacT 9VBxi a:bci tovs nvyonjini; nl^msT oJ- 9Vjaxi,\;d-xIxcrBcro'ig Lis ai flli^N ^atuodibgisn bae .ixaq sIcffi^fiJScisT J-Brid- lo adriBbnaoasi) axfd- od^ d-aom edi vd aevs^betuosa nsscf asd sisb oL^;^lI v^9V ax.d "io d-BjiJ-,9noc)-ai)B9xl sno i^Ino b^J3,ai)^oo9^ lo s^iIio^B^a lulgt^o -nx^.-..j u.iJ- noqjj irfgll ^ns wo^Ifd• Ovt brix/ol nagcf eBrljaJjqxsoYloltnoa od- b90ufif>£: 9cf iarjm,d-ae9l .^j3,'ioo^q smoa a.A. .YllmBl edt lo agnin -X9 y;i>-s9iX^ looTq &sd,v ^tasoasb oi ainxjslo Jbn.s ;tn9oa9b i{8ilcfj3d"a9 9'xora ll&nsj eoxfiua IIxw it &sdi gqorl 9rid- dilvf novi-^, 9i3ri ax ad-ax blod igsnoid-a b xiaxIdBd'es XIxw bm/ot ex etui.an LsiSa-Biadua b to .oiXcfuq p^aibBQt grid- "io xtllubQio arid- noqir iljB noalsH rtdoL d-on bbw noalsPf nr[ot,b9d-B.ta x^^^'^L^ sA riod-jjG[ Bxx[ xid-xw abnfsl^jsl'i nx bsvxl sd 9lx4w,-io'i;9'ilI axxf d'^uotdi -gfiioa SBW 9ii, aiuocrriglgn bna aeriiBlei. doiuQ isd anoDiB bctB,9T:J:w -oiq bnB bgllsqa a£v; smBn aid rioxK'"' t'- ^^^^J3^a si-Id- li^^ald vbocT nvvo aid no batBgqqB sxt nsiiw d-uQ! , a'isdg^ijff boog saodo \;cr baorujon 9i9d bas,aa9nv£fod-uCr axif to sioia. on ib9x£ sw 2lo9noiBnij3?T nx crtBl 9bI=)T' frf.t bne,a\;sb •xsHiio'i "io aoalgW nrtoTi arid- 9^om 9ono ameoad" sd aid moil b9iB9qqBaxb 19V9to1 ax^^b 'isniio'i Io, ,oc^a,n9sxISs 9aijfiq oct- vi^aa9D9n ax Si eiad id'^iPj. bei&Sa aA ,";^rT3.t s J t-fn aBY.' xIS BVOrfs -rujooo ua3V9 -i9d-J-j3l rIoiitv.-,iIo9noipiJ3M oo iaavoinai i>j3j.i igri^^i axif -I9TI nrfoT. 9;t5£) alii:^ no iol:,58dI vIjjL r'S oj- auoivgnq grnxd-gmoa be J-naupsacfuS ,nnA 9tl\v |)ni?

It was made historically memorahle during the Revolutionary War for the surprize and defeatjhy Colonel SmallwoodjOf a large body of British Troops stationed,} there under Eajor Rogers. This property has since passed thro- ugh the Horton,Ryer, Barley and Stanley families, to the present owner and proprietor , Benjamin Brown, Esq, The house occupies a beautiful situation on the slope of the hill, overlooking Long Island Sound and Mamaroneck Bay, This place is remarkable for a distinct Echo, the true object of which appears to be the op- posite residence on Heathcote Hill, In the still dewy evenings of summer, when the air is elastic and a dead stillness prevails, every word spoken in the neighbouring house is plainly re-echo- ed from the northern bank. "Echo", says ^/hite,"has always been so amusing to the imagination that poets have personified her, and in their hands has been the occasion of many a beautiful fiction ;nor need the gravest man appear ashamed to be interest- ed in such a phenomenon, since it may be the subject of mathe- matical calculation or philosophical inquiry." tsX -:_:-;.:-:_:-:„ THIRD GENERATION, (?)

This should "be sufficient proof that there were no Nelsons concerned in the purchase of the original grant; a traditional error that for a long time passed as current in the family. And not only has the family held to the erroneous idea, hut writers of histories (for sale) have the matter as a fact without ever looking up the proofs of v/hat they were raving ahout. It was thirty- three years after the grant was made that Polycarpus Nelson purchaseddn 1736) thirteen-hundred and four acres of land lying within the dreat Nine Partner Tract, lying on Crum-Elhow Creek, in the town of Clinton. On 31 August 1736, he sold the Northern portion of his purchase to his brother Francis. Ot of this purchase, Francis gave to his eldest son, Reuben, a farm of one-hundred and eighty- two acres, lying on Grumr- Elbow Creek, 13 November 1750, lliis farm remained in the family ujitil 1887, a period of one-hundred and thirty-seven years, when it finally passed to other owners, For the final distribution of the remaining property of Polycarpus, see his Will in Appendix According to IfAss Pamelia Dougherty, a grand-daughter of Thomas, who was a son of Polycarpus ' ,a quakeress,born in 1800, living in Mamaroneck in 1887, writing to I^r. James Nelson, at Br idgeport, Conn. , relates the following :Polucarpus was a tanner by trade, and it was while serving as Constable that he was kill- / -> - \ 'O ■ ed "by one of his own workmen whom he was sent to arrest ;while Polycarpus was reading the Warrent of arrest the v/orkraan raised the tanner's cleaver .struck Polycarpus v/ith its sharp edge on a' i )■.'■■ ' -■■■- ; the head, killing him instantly, 19 December 1738.

The histpry of his descendants is very fragmentary;but,however , it is stated that a great number of the Nelsons of Westchester and Putnam counties are his descendants, but this is only an inference, as these people have no knowledge of who their progenitor was, and in many instances, they do not seem to care. So far there is cause to believe that Eli had two sons: 20. Eli Nelson. 21, William Nelson. (7) Francis Nelson, yoimgest son of John and Eendrickje(Vander Vleet) Nelson, was born, probably in Mamaroneck, about 1691;died after 13 November 1750. Until about 1 May 1716, he resided at Mamaroneck( "The Place of Rolling Stones") , at that time he pur- chased of Colonel Caleb Heathcote , lands in the Manor of Scars- dale, and shortly removed thereto. Ke was assessor of Scarsdale in 1723. He conveyed, by consent of his wife Ann, 8 October 1733, all his lands in Scarsdale, which he had purchased from Colonel Heathcote, to William Barker of I/[amaroneck;and removed to the Highlands of Dutchess County, which had been accomplished by the 31 August 1736. He purchased of his brother ,Polycarpus, an in- terest in the Great or Lower Nine Partners, a certain tract of land(Vide Supra) . iVIr. Nelson was one of the first cojamissioners of roads for that part of SQL Dutchess which is now Putnam coun- ty, 1744, In 1747 Francis Nelson's name disappears from the tax- list of the South Ward of Dutchess County, and in 1750 it last appears on the County Records. eeVi nsscT o on svsrf xictBsi) aixi "io eieb btts soslq, exfT .hnBlalgnoJ no lo YTI^eixl sxfT ,nv/ori>f 9l4w sirt.'io ©ctsn sdi ex •ion,fcsnx£d-t9oei5 fjectfid-B Bx .tx ,'iev8v/0£[,d-xfcf;"\ii£:}-n9ra^j3*i^ ■V;i9v ex eififiLneoasI:' axrT xasnd-jj*! i)nj3 ^e:t{i9I[oifB9W lo BnoelsK edi lu *iecto/n J'ijeig £ dBdi aB^eoaetetnl ns ^Xno hi sldi isjd^Qicii^baeoe.eb aid sib asld^nuoo bct£.^iisw tod"J:n980iq -£X9xid- oilw ^o 9gi)6lwon2[ on 9VJBxi slqogq ^B9r{:^ Bi 9'T;9£tc!- leT: 08 .et^o ot laeee chon oi) v9r[d-,a90flJ5;tani: vnsri nx :anca owd- f)BXi tZK tsdo evelL^d o& eesjso .noel9M iia .OS ,noBl9K xttBxIIxW .IS ^9f)^£V)9(,2Iox1£)^9H ba& adoZ Io noa d-a9sajJOY.,noal9TI alonBt'i (V) £)9xLjIG9l :fuod"j3,2lo6noi^rBK ... .-cfj3cronq,n'iocr aBw,noal9K(d^99XV ot-£ bebiae^ ed^blVl y^'5 X c)-jJOtf£ XxJ-nU .OeVX tgcfxnevoPr SI isJ-lfi -^JJq 9xi 9inxd- d-arid- d-£, ("e9nod'8 gnilXoH Io 9obX*i gn'T" )>Io9noi£in£M -B1J308 to TonsM adi nl ebnBl^e^oodissE dels'O XgnoXoD "io i)9ajsrIo elsbeisoB ^o ^oaa9aa£ asw 9H .oie'T.sdi teyomei \:Xd"ioria bOBtSl&b ,£eVX igcTod-oO 8,nnA elxw axxf "io .tn9anoo Ycr,f)9\9vnoo 9H .52 VI nx XgnoXoD moil bessdotuq ^BfT er-' rfo.rrfvy,9Xfii)aifio3 nx a/jn^^I aid Ilfi 9£ld- oi bsvome'i itn^jiosnot^ajsJI 'io tssIiBff rc^xIXiW o,t,9d-ooxict"B9H edi' Yd" i)9r[ailqjiiooo£ neecf bsd iloxr{w,YCt"njJoO aesxiocfuC to Bf)nBlr{siH -ni HB, auq^£OYXo^,19rivto1r^ Exrf "^o iiOesxiotirrr sH .SEVI cfEJi-nrA 15 to cTo^td' nxj8d'T9o £, ai9n^iJ3>l 9nxll "xevod. to Jjae^B ©i-ij nx :fa9''9i- Btsnoleaxirfcioo iaiit edi Io 9no ajsw no8X9K«iH .

The children of Francis and Sarah(Lyon)>Telson who liv- to maturity were Five in number. It was for a long time thought and taicen as a fact that five were all the children that belonged to this worthy couple, but from an Old Family Bible, lately come tdi light, the niupber is given as eight. Now there is a speculation going the rounds of the surviving memr bors of the family as to v/hy this matter had never been brought up and disposed of before. The answer is easy. The family, at an early day, 1819 to 1621, sold out their possess- ions in Dutchess county, N. Y. , and removed to the Far West in a vain search for the Golden Fleece, and in the struggle for existance that followed, had no time to talk over home matters The names of the children are as follows: 120 Reuben Washington Nelson, born 27 July 1789, 121 Harvey Nelson, born 16 August 1790, 122 Amos Nelson, born 20 March 1793, 123 Thomas Nelson, born 20 July 1795. 124 Franklin Nelson, born 8 September 1797, 125 Anna Nelson, born 20 March l&OO, 126 Sarah Nelson, born 9 August 1803, 127 Elizabeth Nelson, born 3 August 1805, avlg dotudO nBi"£9J-\;cfa9irioo 9il* Y.9^1)^iJ^I-9^o xfoti/dO oUocfraoH LXO siicf J^b -vll odw ^oaI9T'^(^OY'I)xiB^B8 I)n£ axo^B^'T to aetblido 9iiT 9rrIX.•^ -arrol b tot aBW .tl .Tgcfniun at 9vl'^r 9t9w x&itsjiBm oi^ n9ix)Xxxio sh.S XIb 919w 9vx1 cJ-bHJ &OBt B as fl9:isd- Ijns crdgiJOiic!'

He opened a law of- fice at Corydon,then the Capitol of the State, But his rep- -'utation as a lawyer called him to other parts of the state, - when he would set out on horseback, with the Statutes and a copy of Blackstone, together with an extra shirt, in the "Sad- i'dle Bags" slving over his saddle ;and in this mannei; lieulj^n iixrtajsW l)9xTXJ3ni;2I8I -^cbM dS mod" bjsw, (GS)rioal9Tf (YsnbaO) teifael ,ann99^Bu^l& n9££i,\;in9f)£oA 9xaq99Jti:Iai/o^ sxi^ ia tQi&L Jbns 9§.eIXxv 9xaq9 9:iLIsuo^ 1o ss^XIiv aa^.. *» s^JlO ^Ai ni , J'9ei + !=' "^r"9bfioA no l)9^^J•^6 txen ad ^^gbfioA 9XiJ- d^a aaxfewita aid i)9i£a4nx1 gnxv^H ,noel9pr riiBlXIxW sXcTBiuonoH 9££i , nananiat aid 1o aoitlo wbX &di 9r{ a'erKrr + 'p -OTeX'arfi 1^9 + .?

But Reuben was not long to enjoy the distinction he had won in so "brief a space of time in the nev; country;his polished manners and accom- plishments; his education and knowledge of the law;his youth •• and vigour ;his recollections of the past and forecasting the future; dignified manhood and winning ways, were of no avail against the jealousies that arose against him from his less fortunate associates. In the most civilized parts of our country no man can can he said to he safe from assault whifch may end in his deat^either is he free from suspicion when cd once the fatal sentence of misgiving is pronounced against him; if such be the case in a civilized part of our country it is to be expected of a new settlement that life v/ould be of less value; social standing, education and high family con- nections are no proof against the bullit of the assas- sin;but the opposition in professional circles by high attain ments and superior abilities would naturally tend to excite the jealousies and fire the imagination of those with deprav- ed tendencies to deeds of daring in the shadow of the forest or in the more desired time the shades of the night. Where jealousies abound and no attempt is made to hide them, suspi- cion is bound to fasten itself upon those who were most ex- pressive of their feelings. It was while riding the circuit of the Courts, and when Reuben Uelson was in the height of his professional career that he was struck down, while riding in company with one of his professional brethren to the Court then being held in Clark county, Indiana. No proof could be produced against his companion, but suspicion was sufficient- ly strong, that he was openly accused of Nelson's murder by his most intimate associates.

Accordingly he left shhool and enlisted in Captain Samuel Nelson's Company, in the same Regiment of which his kinsman, Joseph Nelson, was Colonel, The regiment immediately went to the defense of the City of New York, where Colonel Nelson succumed to an attack of Typhoid Fever, 3 November 1812 The regiment was then removed to Staten Island where it re- mained until the close of Hostilities, when it was disbanded. Realizing the necessity of learning some trade, Franklin Nel- son took up the combined trades of Tanner and Shoemaker, in both of which he became very proficient , and which served him to good purpose in later years.

The family now left without a Mother's counsel, decided that Marietta, was not the place for their future home, set their faces once more towards the Setting Sun; they travelled through the untrodden wilderness, swimming their horses and oxen over swollen streams, penetrat- ed the forest then swarming with wild beasts and still wild- er savages; passes through where Cone innati, Ohio now stands which was then hut a trading post and a few log-huts ;pressed on across the Ohio River into Kentuckey and down its south- ern banks, crossed the Kentuckey River, and made their way to Palls City, now Louisville, then a small trading post, crossed the River again to the place where New Albany now stands, and followed the trail to the Capitol of Indiana, Coryd on. After pasiiing through the site of New Albany they camped over-night on the farm then being put in order by the Scribner3,'.7ho had journied thither from Albany, New York. Arriving at Corydon, t hey found the crush for farms had consumed all the choice lots in that section of the state, but a few sections remain- ed that were, what might becalled, desirable. Amos seized on a small tract of land two and one-half miles east of Corydon, on the soixth bank of Little Indian Creek, while Franklin went still a mile and a half farther eastward to a beautiful valley called "Spring CJlen" . And it was rightly named "Spring Glen", be cause, through it ran a small creek which had its origin on the farm, and was the outcropping of a small creek that sank out of sight about jisiala Jbnfi,aoxLiA ^xavisiL^teddom axxi s^oiv: Yoeqmoo nl ci^ Bait) arid- ei)iiJ8wo;f,eiei,;tuo isz noaXslff nxX^fjxstlid^scffisiia ,noinU 9rfJ lo a^iAq XIjb inoi'i sXqoeq dixw qu ^nxXXil n8rI:t,cfa3W •afois texiJoM sxfd ^&*i9£tw,ox£fO,js^cl-d2tBM as ^x-5'i a^ telLsv^io vsriT J-jjoxicfxw cf'isX won ^J^iffijB'i edT ,XS8I lecTo^t'oO 6S,i)SXfc Mb fcsns - ;90£Xq sxict- ion asw^aiieli^lS. &a£it bebsoetflBeniJOo a'lexIv+oM a aifi ai)T£T/oct snare sono aso^l liadi- jse^aunoa a-^uiul iledi lol tSaan-rsLXxw naJbifo-xinu adi rEsuoirii fcaXIav^'ic^ yari^f inj^rS sniiJaS -J"J3'nt9n9q,eiaBe"ii8 rraXXowa -is-vo naxo i>njB aseTori lieili s^xtfunxwe -Mxw XXXia bii£ ed-aaacT bXxw rfixw gxiimtBwa narfi iaaiG'i srit be abci&Sa won oxx£0,xiBnnxono3 a^ariw rtsxroiiii aaeajsqjeas^vjse ^s fcaaaaiqjaiuri-aoX wa"! s bns c!-8oq^nXi>J3*si s J-xfcf narfi asw xfoiriw -xiiifoe six nwoi) .bns Y©2ioi/ine5I oini "lavxR oxrlO axii eao^OB no ci TSd^BT ^x^x[i 9f>jEffl bnjo,"ievxfl \,a2foi/ina3 axfi f)aaaoTp,e2[nBcf nta X)9Eaoio,iaoq gnxJoBii XXcaia ^ narfi^aXXxvaxwoiI won,vixO aXXsl bns,abaB&G won vnecflA woPt staxiY; aofiXq erii oi nxagii tavxfl aili lailA ,nof)Y^oO,6^£ii3nI lo XoixqsO ani oi Xiaii arii LawoXXotv insxn-iavo bsqioBo ^axli Ynso'XA waK to si±a er(i xigiroirfi snX?,a,Bq bad Oiiw,a^9ncfx^o8 edi Y.cf "laijio ni iuq gnxacT nsni mi£l: 6di nO ,noX)-\cToO i£ snxvx^*IA .alioY veVL^vasdlA wotl tediidi bB^afvo\,f ooxoxfo aiii XIb ^aiiujenoo bed emtsl lol dauto aiii bnuox xed i ~nx>sic9T anoiioaa wsl £ iuo^ai^ia axfi "io noXioaa i£xfi nx aioX .6Xd'BixeaX>,f»8XXfioecf irlsxai iBtLw^ancaw ijsxij Jba.

And where it emptied into little Indian Creek, was the yearly camping ground of the Misuni Ind- ians. Hither they came to hold their councils of ?/ar,chantaiju their Far Songs, put on their War paint, and steal away in the night to pillage the country round ahout. Many were the sto- ries told of the dreadful week passed by the inhabitants of the surrounding country when the Miamis held their last coun- cil on those grounds. Their War Whoops were louder and more threatening, their council more securely guarded than at any other time, and their attitude towards the settlers more an- tagonistic than at any time previous. Every house secured . itself against invasion, but they were not molested; the Tribe of Warriors stole away one night and passed to the westward, then turning northward they fell, the next night, upon the de- fenceless inhabitants of Scott County and massacred every man , woman , and child, sparing neither old age not infancy, TPra^l^^ Nelson set about, clearing a piece of ground to which he had laid claim, and erected a house for himself and built a Tannery and shoe- shop for himself and his brother Amo^, A.t first ii^ ^did not de,YO.te much time to farming, be- cause of the heavy timber that grew on every part of his tract;but,bye and bye, when opposition in the Tanning of hides aj;d the mining of shoes made those industries less prof ita- ble,he turned his attention to the forest with its trees of huge Oaks, Hickories, Beeches, and many others, including the Sugar-Maple, of which there were about one- thousand trees on .aELatieaaO sdi o^ ,3nisnol9cr mini s nc.ct'afis sxiJ ocr asixpi xxa "naXO gni'sqS" ballao noecf svBxl y;j3m ^1 yilv/ noe^ST laiiio.arIT -> J>3XjqiiT9 di 9i9i£w oj- soiij'oa acfi I«o^'l,ei)la tediis no :ti gnoJLs sLiitl oiiil Jbeivtqiaa di siarfv; ,i)ftA .^qstO C£J:i)nI 9ld^;}-iJ o;;ni -J&nl ttoj&lU sdi 'to Jixujois gniqiOBO y-J^ib©-^ qxIj ajswjjiiaaiO n^lLiil tofiilo , tJBV/ "io alloniioo ixarfJ- Moil od- sai^o' ys^J- lexiJ-iH .ansl ,9iiJ xix Y-SV* -^-s^^a Jbn-e,;tflxs(3[ -j^W 119x1;^ no ^jjq,83no8 isW ^i^£[J■ •oJ-e 9iii 9"X9W Y^-sM •d'jjocrjB^iu/oTXT^ni'OO 94^ 9siJlXjtq o;^ id^la -:1o a.iiAiJxumni 9Ji^ ^cT J)98asq sfagw IjtFT:JbB9Tf) sxfvt lo f)Iod eaiT -xiaoo J-a^I tisxiJ- fcXaxi alnuexM 9x£;t n9xiw xtSauoo -gaxbauoi'nja 9£[d s*iora bsm "^Qbsjol 9^^7/ aqooif^ -t^W liedH .zbtwoi-g saoxia no lio Yni5 ^^ njsrici- fcsijijsas "^Xaii/osa gtom lionuoo *flsii;t ,§nxn9ct£9Ta* -nj3 atom ateliiesi 9di sb-i^V'toi 3bijcaiii& ixsxict- bti&^9miS tsxfJ'o i)9ijJ0sa saijoa xisvS ,8woiv9"xq Qmi^j xaG te asxidr ox^feinogJsi- acfJt'xT 9xi^;Jb9d-89loiE J-on ©isv/ -^srEc^ ijjcr,noxa«vnJ; i-eriijss^ ll9a.tx ^bi£v,'ii&3V!

And on the 2 May 1882, worn out with the toils and tri- als of nearly 85 years he laid down the burden of life, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Socratez J, Bence; leaving behind him such a record of struggle against adversity, a life of honesty and uprightness, patriot ism and self-sacrifice, as this world- seldora witnesses, in this or any other age. It is true that his life was not spent in the Arena of politics, and except for a period of less than trhee years, in the war of 1812, his time was spent in the domestic pursuits of home and fireside.

Her school was a success from the start, and it was soon found necessary to select larger and more commodious quarters where it would be possible to accominodate the in- creased number of her pupils. The school grew and prosper- ed, and finally was laid the foundation of the famous "Gol- den Hill Seminary", of Bridgeport , Connecticut. But its pros- perity- was soon to be blighted, while in the height of its usefulness, in 1895, an epidemic of Typhoid fever broke out and laid many of the pupils lowjliiss Nelson did all she could to revive confidence in her novj ruined school, but to no purpose. She had finally to give up her life's work, the weight of years and broken in health compelled her to retire to private life, where she busied in literary work for which she was eminently qualified by early education and long ex- perience as a teacher. At the foundation of Vassar College at Poughkeepsie,New York, Miss Nelson v/as offered the Lady Principalship,of that institution, by its founder , Matthew Vassar, but she declined the offer, giving as her reason for refusing so tempting an offer, in her own words: "I preferred to reigh supreme in my ovm little realm."

To this high official position he brought talents of a superior order ; together with a thorough knowledge of the Law, As a con- sequence, his judicial duties, some of which were novel and try- ing, were discharged with ability, impartiality and dignity;and secured for him the respect of all good and respectable citizens in that Territory, In tha latter part of 1853 he returned to -ctnifiiipojs 9§^BI b snljtsm Ijne , agiteXwon^f IsnoiGsslotq gnieTxupoB .TSST^o .tnsx/p 9 a cTixe eiri ni swIjsv slcf^ml^eanx to f^eTOiq x£oir{iv,8anB "Bv Qdi nl snoxi-isnxnisxs bstlupeT aif^ J'-saeiBq •v:XIjj'iaa9aoJjR ^nxv^K gnibXod nsrf^t ,cttuoO smsiqwS srii e^o19d■,WJ3X 9d& to esxioosicf auoi-x oJ- b9i:^tmb&f0^81 x'^svnBl, WOS. nX,aj3W 6d\xti£idlA ni anoxaass av+i 9ll ".w^J-J-s-YS^^o^*-^' fi-s BB fiinoXqiCI aXri bsvisoeT hnstSoitowio^ -osnnoo benismet bnsi^tsdoMl aid cLiiw qidstBn&t^iioo b bemiolnesii^ asw ljn£,atB9Y nad" nsdi 9^om 10'i,9^)Ji:;Jo^^q avi^ofi cit mid ri^lw i)9;t XxvlO rlJ-ocf, aeaujsO lo X^xtJ- 9xi:t ru mirl d&lYf be-gs^ne \lQvisas.^:<.e -iooH bns msn&u^. ,/t8Ja6iioja9W to aeidruioO erf^t nx ,I,sni:rai"xO btXB f)nj3,-t9*oB'tj3xio •\i9di nx in^J-ioqioi vXrfsxii 9^9w iioirfw lo vnfiXHjbnBX .9mi:)' &sdi &a iHStdini oi.lduq doum beiioxs j9qoijja nx gnxXX9VJ3t;t^ adonoic Xeisvsa J-neqe ed S^8X nl -Xs^I ,9o^B^'5: jijnfiXgnS ax ^aaie.tni to ac^nxoq ex/oxisv eifd^ s^Xd'xaiv mid xf^xw ^nxYit^o jYO-Bis-fc'S'inoO njsrirta-O qxSJ baa bn£ilt9S.i iviB ,v,X JbXelfC" sxfd- n± aioa 1o naia oi nox.toui)0-i.+ni: to ai9*d-9X ayo^enum 9d.+ 9i)«ra :bn^,a9SB.trTfivbB Xsnoxd-qsoxg l)9Y0tn9 sH ".aisc^^aJ to asxijnjjoo 9xf.t nx , n9a'i sjiaxjjgni j-axL sdd- to d'aom to 9onBct^nxs0poB .ie^tiaxT ed i£oxr£w ~aO grfcJ- o& ffixd i>9:fnxoqqB a'loinXXx'i d-nshxaail XeSI^I a9*£:t3.b9.+xxiU arid- lot .Jii/oD 9^D:9^qJJa arli to 9ox.+ Bi;I.-t9XxlD to «r,xt to •Y'S^ YcT iGili-xxi.? b9Jbo90oiq 9rl hnjojnosatO to \:iod-x'nsT siiJ nx oT .sn^gv &Bd^ to rto^BTiI to xfcJ-nom sdi ni,BiiiBnB*? to ai/imictal 9id- •xox-i9q03 J3 to a;tn9Xfid- d-ri^ijoid ed rfo'r.^rp.oa X^xoxtto rls-^xf sxxict" -noo B aA .WBiI add- to asJbaXwonii. iisiJo*iuii»i ..js iidxvv laajg^oJ-jiyijto -■^J^^ i>nij Xavon 9-i9w rioxriw to gmoa ,a9Xdi/l) laioxbui, axrf,9on9iJp8a fcn£jvdin?!xJfc f>a£ vdlXBX.t-ij:!rr7ri (--.-MXicT^ rJlw be-n'^Bdo^lb 3t9T,r,nx an9sXvtxo sXcfBdosqest un^ laoOcj Iij3 10 cjosqaan en^r nixxi toi i..t;'tuosa od i39mud-9T 9x1 EeSX to d-ijsq ^^c^d■BX arid nl ,^i^odx^•l9T djsriJ n.t N.159 the Atlantic Coast, and though keeping his old Residence in Peeksklll,he established himself in business in Hew York City, and there entered upon an active practice in his profession, taking a high standing at the bar, and being employed as prin- ciple coimsel in many important suits, brought in the various Cour^ts of the state; some of which went through the gradations of the courts. During the Civil 7/ar, Judge Nelson was a firm supporter of the Federal Government , and was well known for his zeal in behalf of the Union, He was elected to membership in the "Union Leagae Club", soon after its format ion, but as his residence out of the city, would prevent him from attending its sittings, he declined to accept the membership to v/hich he was elected. In the early stages of the War, he was appointed by Governor Morgan as a member of the y7ar..Corrii'iittee,for_^j:th.e- Coun- ties of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland, and faithfully serve(^_ as such during the continuance of the entire struggle. In 1858 Judge Nelson received the Republic^aja nonina-. tion for the Supreme Court Judgeship, in the second district, ., his associate on the ticket being the Honourable Lucian Birds- e;/e; but the Democratic nominees, lie sseur§ .Brown and Lott,were successful in that heavily Democratic District, In 1860 he was honoured with the Republican nomination for Congress, for district composed of the counties of Westchester and Rockland, but owing to the district being largely Democratic, and though^ he was greatly ahead of his ticket, he was not able to overcome the heavy party vote against him. Since then Judge Nelson has not been a candidate for political honours jbut has devoted him- self wholly to his extensive legal practice. eei.w nx sonsbiaafl bLo aid snxqasiL 11300x1':^ i^n^joasoO ol&c^sLtA edt ,Y^xS iiioY V'lQli nl aasnieud nl "tlsamixf i>9rfBxIrffl.ta9 9r{,XIl3ieiLti85 ,^oxea8to^q sxxf ni. aoi^ojsiq 9vi;tojf5 ns noqu bn'xe&ne 9^^rfd• Jbnx ewoxTev 3d& nx ^trigwoncf ,ac^J:ua ^naJ'^ioqcix x^f-^rrt ni Xeaxiuoo elqxc BCioiisbai^ 9di d-i^uoidi &nev doidvtii;oo srict lo mixl £ ajsw noaXsPt .8s/>i;L,i.6W IxvxO siiJ^ gnxiwCI axif -tcl nwonsi IIsw bbv! bsts^inematSToC I.i3^9i>a''l 9x{d^ to tact-toqqjja ■ ni qxdaiftcfmsffi o:f hs^osls asw 9H .noxnlJ arid- lo 'irlsrfacr nx Ibss axxf SB d-i;cr,nox.tj3ci-{ot a;tx Tst'iij nooa , "rfwIO eesfieJ fioxnU" Qdi- a&i ^nibas.i;fB aotl mid ;tff9V9^q MuoWjVd-io sdt to ctuo eonebiaitt a£W 9ri rloxxiw oJ- qxxfaiecfmem adt ^qaoo."

Blaine's defeat jhut if a deraocrat had to he elected,! prefer !1r. Cleveland to any other. He impresses me as being honest , painstaking and faithful to his own ideas of right. He is surrounded and influenced hy the best class of democrats. \Vith their advice and with his sturdiness of wilKapproaching nearly to obstinacy) ,and the sense of obliga- tion he feels towards recalcitrant Republicans, who it must be admitted, are honest and patriotic in the niain; though, as I think, greatly illjudging,we ought not to have much fear of the future. Mr, Cleveland was elected Sheriff of Erie County, as a Reformer; Mayor of Buffalo, as a Reformer jCrovernor of New York, at; a. Reform- er; and is now elected President, as a Reformer. I believe he will, whenever he makes a change in off ice, endeavour to appoint competent and honest officers; that he v/ill favour "Civil Ser- vice" ; oppose wild schemes and all jobbery, and in general, do what he believes to be his duty. The "Tariff ".no doubt, will be overhauled and changed, and he will favour it;but it v/ill be done carefully, and the best interests of the Coxmtry at large will be considered. This is not to be an administration for experiments. The efforts of those who shape its policy, will be to inspire the community at large, with confidence in the cor- rectness of the opinion, which led to the change of Administra- tion, -to increase the number of its supporters, from the class of people, on whom party allegiance lightly rests, and v/ho are more interested in "Good Government" , than party success ;and thiB to continue, if not perpetuate, its power.

If he would marry an intelligent and worthy v/oman,and install her as Mistress of the "White- House", it Vi'ould be such a pledge to the people, a.s would remove all apprehension, a,nd in that respect jfrop: any quarter. There is no better way to keep straight an;/ man prone to err, than to have a loved and judicious wife. The "^liite-House" has hither- to been pure and stainless.

They are 8-lways to he foiind on his ta.hle, ready to be taken up at a leisure moment. He has "been, and continues to he, a dilligent reader of the best works of English Literature. His fondness for Poetry began with his youth, and his facility for committing to raemor;/' and reciting favorite passages, has often been a won- der to his friends. Of American Poets, he holds liThittier in highest esteem, and from him, he ha.s often said, he derives his "Politics and Religion." He has alvirays been interested in the local history of the region where he was born, and spent the most of his life,an(J there is no event, that has occurred in that seo- tion,v/ith the details of which he is not familiar. He maj'' oft- en be seen at "^Phite Plains", in the office containing the Rec- ords of Festchester County poring over the early volumes, snd gleaning from that source, many facts full of interest to the Antiquarian Taste, and reflecting much historical light. As a lawyer, he holds a very high rank at the New York Bar, and is recognized by his brothers in the legal profession as possessing distinguished attainments. He is a fluent speak- er, a.nd has at his copimand a wealth of resource in argument and debate, which rarely fails to exert great influence in the Courts of Law. Possessed of a KIgK character strongly entrenched in uprightness, sound learning, large experience, both in the Courts and on the Bench, with exceptional powers of judgement ; Judge Nel- son deservedly occupies a high place in the professional and pub lie esteem. His life has been roarked by usefulness, integrity and honour, and his successes have been won by qualities which rarely fail to achive distinction and victory.

Ruggles,and was admitted to the Bar upon attaining his majority. He was elected County Judge in I8v^5,hls first politi- cal honour, and held the office for eight years, when he re- tired to go higher in the service of his country. year: In 1862 Judge Nelson was elected to the United States Congress, a time when men of sturdy patriotism and fearless character were mostly needed at the seat of Government.

And it was just such men as Homer Nelson that was then needed at the seat of Government, Reluctantly he tendered his resignation 861.
