Posted 09 Apr 2012 by n2zhf
ALMERON NELSON, Coudersport, is a son of Cephas and Eunice Nelson, and was born in the town of Putnam, Washington Co., N. Y., January 15, 1817. His grandfather, John Nelson, was one of four brothers
- Paul, - Moses,
- John and - Daniel
completing the number, all of whom married and reared families. John was born in Massachusetts about 1750. He removed to Washington county, N. Y., town of Hebron, where he married Mollie Hare, a lady of Scotch descent, and they had a family of fourteen children:
- Ezekiel, John, Moses, Joel, Cephas, Silas, Lyman, Isaac, David, Betsy, Polly, Sallie, Annico and Eleanor.
Cephas, the fifth son of John Nelson, was born in the town of Hebron, Washington county, near the Vermont line, and there married the daughter of Hon. Isaac Lyman, whose residence was at Pollett, where he built a saw mill over 100 years ago, and who was a major of the Revolution, a member of the State legislature, and afterward a resident of Lake George and of Charleston, Toga (Tioga -jcw) Co., Penn. Having made the acquaintance of extensive land holders, who in him perceived good executive ability, his services were engaged as their agent, necessitating his removal to Lymansville, Potter Co., Penn., which, later, was named in his honor. There he remained as their agent until his decease.
Cephas and his family removed to Lake George, and eventually to Potter county, locating in 1820 on the farm now owned by Almeron Nelson, at Lymansville. Here Cephas and his family underwent the privations and experiences incident to pioneer life. The family comprised six children:
- Horatio, - Henry, - Charlotte,
- Lyman, - James and - Almeron.
