Includes NotesNotes for John Nelson: In "A History of Pendleton County West Virginia," by Oren F. Morton, originally published in Franklin, West Virginia in 1910, a genealogical sketch of Thomas Nelson's family lists 13 children born to son, John and Sarah Stearns.Child number nine, Winnie, is listed as marrying Thomas Summerfield, and child number eleven, identified only as "girl," is listed as marrying a Summerfield also with no given name listed.This conflicts with information obtained from the Internet, "One World Tree," in that Winnie's husband is there identified as Joseph Summerfield. Perhaps Joseph was instead married to the unidentified "girl." More About John Nelson and Sarah Stearns: Marriage: Abt. 1770, Pendleton County, (W) Virginia.
