Notes for JOSEPHUS NELSON:
Josephus Nelson and wife Esther Eliza Nelson were married in 1830 and were divirced in april 1835. This was a very unusal thing in that day. More research to see why they were divirced could be an interesting project.Josephus left a will devising everything to his son Joseph. His former wife Esther protested the will, but it was declared to be a true will and was recorded as such.
