Biography
From Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania:
James Nelson had previously sought fortune in Scotland, but both were of Irish birth and descendants of John Nelson, a farmer of the homeland, owning the land that he cultivated. He married a Miss Divanney, who attained the wonderful age of one hundred and four years. They were the parents of ten children, all of whom passed their entire lives in Ireland, with the exception of Michael, who immigrated to New York City. All were members of the Roman Catholic Church, that being the family religion. Children: Patrick, Nicholas, Michael, James, Charles, Peter, John, of whom further, Paul, Mary, Ellen.
