ROBERT McCALL NELSON, son of Samuel P. and Margaret Nelson, was born February 3, 
1844, and paternally is descended from the British admiral, Lord Nelson; his 
maternal grandfather, Bailey, was a native of Ireland.  Our subject was reared on 
the home farm, attending school until his majority, and in 1879 taking charge of 
the home place.  The same year he married Annie (Caroline), daughter of Robert C. 
and Lydia (Livingston).  The only child born to this union is now deceased.  The 
farm contains 135 acres, ten in woodland, the balance under cultivation, and 
improved with substantial buildings.
