Moved to Illinois from Crawford County, PA, in 1845, at the age of 22, bringing his wife Luceva. They had two children: James Ivor and William H.
First wife was Luceva Ward. She must have died on June 5, 1850, since she was counted in the 1850 Federal Census, which was enumerated in November, 1850.
Married second wife, the widow Amanda Harriet (Springstead) Strider, in Ottawa, LaSalle County, IL., in 1852. They had eight children together. In the 1900 Iowa Census, they are shown to have had 10 children between them, 8 of whom were still living in 1900. Perhaps two children died at young ages(?). (Two of those living 10 children were from John Nelson's first marriage; James Ivor and William H.) The other eight children from marriage to Amanda were Manley, George D, Minnie, Allen Lee, Anna Elva, Florilla Ursula, Luevia, Luceva,
Amanda was married before to a John Strider of LaSalle County. John Strider died in 1849, in Serena Twsp, LaSalle County, IL, leaving Amanda a widow. They had daughter, Mary Jane. Mary Jane was married to John Milton Montgomery.

He is member of Masonic Fraternity. In politics he is a greenbacker and has held local offices."
