ARMSTED M. NASH, farmer, P. O. Paxton, was born January 12, 
1837, in Haddon Township, Sullivan County, Ind., one of ten 
children born to Marvel W. and Leah (Love) Nash, who came to 
Sullivan County at an early day. March 22, 1860, the subject 
of this sketch was joined in matrimony to Nancy E. Purcell, 
and their union has been blessed with six children -- India A., 
March 22, 1861; Willie L., September 3, 1865; Edgar E., 
February 7, 1868; Clara B., July 13, 1870; Mary E., October 
29, 1873, and Lillie, September 19, 1877, all of whom are 
living except India. Throughout life Mr. Nash has followed 
farming, and his splendid farm of over 400 acres attests his 
success. His buildings are more numerous and are certainly 
unexcelled by any farm in Haddon Township. He is a strong 
supporter of education and upholds the law of making it 
compulsory. He is a large dealer in stock, and is always 
among the foremost in furthering the interest of his community. 
He is a Democrat and takes an active interest in all matters 
pertaining to his party. He and wife are members of the 
Christian Church at Providence, near Paxton.

Subject: James L Nash bio 
My records indicate the James L Nash's father was born in 
Lincoln Co. KY 1799. He was Marvel W Nash and Marvel W Nash's 
father was John W. Nash. John's father was Capt. Marvel Nash. 
Marvel Records indicate that Captin Marvel Nash and his son 
John Moved to Green County around 1820. Many of the othere 
family moved with them. At the same time two of the sons of 
Captin Marvel Nash moved to Edmonson County KY. They were 
Marvel JR and Arthur Beau. I hope this helps you decide where 
to place the bio. Thanks Jeff Nash, Pulaski County Ky
