The John Nelson born in 1862 was son of Elijah Nelson and Margaret/Peggy Jordan.
The late Bob Nelson placed John Nelson (b. 1866) in the family of Elijah J. Nelson and (2nd wife) Catherine Wilfong. He called him "John Nelson, some say Snider." In 1870 census of Randolph Co., Catherine Nelson was a widow with a young son John Nelson. In 1889, Randolph Co., John "Snider" married Alice Butcher, but the family always went by Nelson. Apparently Elijah Nelson had died too long before John was born ? In 1873 Catherine remarried to Joseph White.
Edward Nelson's obituary was very skimpy: "Edward Nelson, 76, of 537 W. Gay St., Harrisonburg died Wednesday in Ohio. Surviving are his wife, Mabel L. Nelson of Harrisonburg; a son, Jack E. Nelson of Heath, Ohio; ... [five stepchildren]; and two grandchildren. The funeral will be conducted 11 a.m. Saturday at the Henderson, VanAtta and Johnston Funeral Chapel in Newark, Ohio. Burial will be in Newark Memorial Gardens."
He was married to Myrtle Lambert and Mabel Martha (Sponaugle) Long.
