A short history of my Father's (Thomas Nelson) family
by his daughter, Sarah Nelson Coate
It was in the middle of April in the year 1801 when the Merchantman, (name forgotten) Captain Congo with six hundred passengers set sail from Belfast Ireland. Of my father's family there were my father, Thomas Nelson, and mother, Sarah (Martin) Nelson, and their seven children - viz. Joseph, Elizabeth, Sarah, Thomas, William, John and Mary and two servants. William, John, and Mary died on their passage out and were cast into the sea.
My Great Grandfather on my father's side was an Englishman and lived in England, do not remember what part. He had five sons, one was an Episcopal clergyman and lived and died in England. The four other sons were nonconformist. Three came to America and one, my Grandfather John, married and came to Ireland. Of the three who came over to America, two were merchants in N. York City and it was in their vessel my father took passage for this country. The other brother located in Philadelphia or at the south (probably Yorktown, Maryland).
My Grandfather John Nelson who located in Ireland had three children, two sons and a daughter. The daughter married, name was Pattison. She lived and died in Ireland. The names of the two sons were Thomas (my father) and John.
My Father Thomas Nelson and his brother John had large bleaching fields together.
My Father was a linen merchant and his brother John had a cotton factory, was a printer of cotton goods.
My Father came to America in the year 1801, when he had been here seven years he died aged 42 years, was buried in Cambridge, N.Y.
About the time of his death his brother John came from Ireland with his family into Philadelphia and settled there. Do not know how many children he had. This is the last link on my father's side I know of. My Father's Mother died in Ireland in one week after they had started for America. She was a widow, do not remember anything about his father.
My Father was an Officer, an Oringman and high Mason, had almost constantly to be skirmishing the country driving the Catholics north, at times in battles. The country was in a very unsettled condition.
My two Grandfathers established the first church in the town of Corniscribe. It was a Seceeder church, was called Scotch Presbyterian. It is to be supposed in that church is to be found their names and dates and births. --- Town of Corniscribe - parish of Killmore, County of Armagh.
