James Nelson was born in County Tyrone (probably in the townland of Townagh, Parish of Clogher) about 1809 (based on his age given in his death certificate) died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 29 Oct. 1886 and was buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, PA. He married by 1830 (based on estimated birth of their first known child) Jane Stewart (1812-1885), daughter of William and Elizabeth (Graham) Stewart of the townland of Lislane. Their first known child, Eliza Jane Nelson, was born about 1830 (based on her age given in her death certificate). She died in Philadelphia 17 Dec 1910. Their first son, John Nelson was baptized in the parish church of Clogher 13 Nov. 1836. The baptismal record describes his father as a “yeoman of Tonagh.” Other known children born in County Tyrone include Martha Nelson (1833-1888), William Charles Nelson (1839-1862) and Catherine Nelson, baptized at the Aughentaine Presbyterian Church 9 March 1841. John and Catherine presumably died young as no further record of them has been found. James and his family emigrated to Philadelphia in 1841 or 1842, where another daughter Catherine (Kate) was born 6 August 1842. Three more children, Dorothea (1845-1870), Mary (1847-1928) and Joseph Stewart Nelson (1850-1851) were also born in Philadelphia. The earliest record of James in the Philadelphia city directories describes him as a shingle shaver, while later entries describe him as a shingle merchant and then a lumber merchant. James’ surname may have originally been “Neilson,” as the 1829 Tithe Applotment Book for the townland of Townagh lists James Neilson, William Neilson the elder, William Neilson the second and William Neilson the younger. While there is no evidence that these men were related to James Nelson, the similarity of their names suggests that they might have been. |
