History of Nelson, Cheshire, New Hampshire
ARCHELAUS WILSON, a farmer, came from New Ipswich and settled in Packersfield, now Nelson, about the time he was married, in 1777 or 1778. His wife was Sarah Morse, of Shrewsbury, Mass. He settled about a mile and a half northwest of where Nelson Center now is.
CAPT. ASA WILSON, the eldest son, inherited his father's farm, but devoted his time largely to the carpenter's trade and to sawing lumber. He lived to be over ninety years old, and reared a family of six children--five sons and one daughter. He died in 1869, having been selectman, and captain of the militia.
His eldest son, ASA E. WILSON learned the tanner's trade, and in 1825, went to Massachusetts where he remained ten years. He afterwards lived in Antrim and Sullivan NH, where he carried on the tanning business over
twenty years, during which time he brought up four children. He represented the town two years and was a deacon in the Congregational church over forty years. His first wife was Almira Breed, granddaughter of the first settler of Packersfield. His second wife was Elizabeth Hunt.
