I'm searching for the descendants of John NELSON (1772-?) of Truro and Margaret ARCHIBALD (1785-?) of Musquodoboit who lived in the Colchester area for a time. Most of their children lived in the Truro, New Annan & Waugh's River area of Colchester:
John NELSON was a son of David NELSON (1759 – 1788) and Margaret ARCHIBALD (1759 – 1794).
Margaret ARCHIBALD (1785-?) was a daughter of John ARCHIBALD (1747 – 1790) and Alice MOORE (1750 – 1784).
The elder Margaret ARCHIBALD was a sister of John ARCHIBALD and children of Samuel ARCHIBALD and Eleanor TAYLOR.
The children of John NELSON & Margaret ARCHIBALD I believe were:
Hugh NELSON (? - 1867)
Robert NELSON
David NELSON (1803 – 1839)
John NELSON (1805 – 1872)
Nancy NELSON (1808 – ?)
Margaret Archibald NELSON (1814 – 1895)
I'm especially interested in the family of Hugh NELSON who married Nancy CAMERON of Mount Thom, Pictou.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
