  • Notes 
    • A 10 year old “John A Nelson” is listed as a “boarder” in the household of Warren and Rachel Young (Cole) Eastman in 1880. This is almost certainly John Albert Nelson, the child born to Emily Ann Eastman and John A Nelson in October of 1870. Since Emily used her maiden name in that same census record and listed herself as “single”, her marriage in to the elder John Albert Nelson in 1870 may simply have been to provide legitimacy to her son’s birth.
