Notes |
- 1870 Census, McDowell Co, WV, Big Creek District, page 8, Family #53. Listed as Amanda Nelson, age 10, born in NC, in household of step-father, James Marion Dancy.
Not listed in the household in 1880. Had she married, left home, or died? In the 1880 Census for Tazewell Co. VA, district 88 household 66 is Amanda Nelson, age 20 living in the household of W. H. Atwood. She is working as a cook and there is a 3 month old child, John Nelson with her. He is listed as a nephew. Amanda is unable to read or write and has her birthplace as Virginia as well as those of her parents. More than likely this is the Amanda Nelson, daughter of Harvey and Sarah Garrett Nelson. The age is about the same plus Tazewell Co. VA and McDowell Co. WV are next to each other. The child is listed as a nephew, however it is more probable he is Amanda's son. The other possibility is that he is the son of either sister Catherine or Sarah who are living with their mother and stepfather using the last name of Dancy. Amanda and her father were born in NC, but we don't know who provided this information to the census taker saying they were born in VA.
