Do you have any information on two brothers, James and Jasper Nelson?
I am trying to figure out how these two dirt poor young men from NC, fought in the civil war (one on each side) settled in montgomery County, KS after the War, bought land, (they are on 1870 Census), then went to West Virginis in 1871, with enough money to buy up about 1/8 of a county, and spent the remainder of their lives in WV as properous farmers?
