Our Family Genealogy: Including the Nelson, Johnson, Roach, Smith, Little, Cox, Dawson-Wooten, and Chapman Families, Each Related to the Other by Descent or Marriage, or Both (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Family Genealogy: Including the Nelson, Johnson, Roach, Smith, Little, Cox, Dawson-Wooten, and Chapman Families, Each Related to the Other by Descent or Marriage, or Both Believing that all members of our family, future as well as present generations, will be glad to know something of their ancestry and how' they themselves are related to each other, the compilers of this book have undertaken to put in perma nent form the genealogy of the Nelson and Smith Families as a tribute to their Mother and Grandmother, Mrs. Mary Nelson Smith. She was a remarkable personality and an out standing figure in our family - a Nelson belonging, as she said, to the historic family of English Nelsons. We are also giving as fully as we can the genealogy of several related families, and in this have been aided by many members of these families, for which aid we are most grateful.
