Elijah and Catharine, his parents, emigrating to this State during his sixth year, and located below Carrollton about the year 1821, when the houses, log cabins, were like angel's visits, few and far between. The day his father arrived there, Nelson recounts that a company of men had just returned from an expedition against the Indians, who had been marauding in that locality. Nelson remained at home until he married. During his boyhood he attended the log structures of that day, sitting upon a slab and studying by the aid of such few rays of light as could be emitted through the greased paper window panes of that primitive university. Dec. 1837, was wedded to Zerela Boyle; they had nine children: James, Elijah, Charles, Return, George, Georgia A., Josehine, Orlean and Martha. After his marriage he moved to Taylor's Prairie, remained several years, then to a place near Jackson's Mills, then to Jersey County, then came to the place he now lives.

CANNEDY, STEPHEN D., farmer, Sec. 21, P. O. Greenfield. The subject of this sketch is a son of one of the oldest settlers in this township, and but few in the county can date their coming to an earlier time than he; first made the trip on foot from Tennessee, his only companion his trusty rifle; he came out to take a view of the country and, liking it, returned as he came, and brought his family out in an ox-cart, bringing therein what few articles of furniture they had, the family walking, his wife carrying a child in her arms. He made one or two trips back to Tennessee in the same manner before he finally located; he made a selection of land on the spot where Greenfield now stands, and erected the first cabin thereon; land not being in market at that time he disposed of his claim, and after his return from Tennessee settled on the place now owned by Anson Miller, three miles south of Griswold, where he remained about forty years; he died Jan. 18, 1870. The subject of this sketch was born in DeKalb County, Tenn., and came to this country with his parents, being three years of age at this time; remained with his parents until he had attained his twenty second year, when he set out for himself, working among the farmers, and at whatever employment that came to hand; May 10, 1851, was married to Nancy Spradley, daughter of Bryant Spradley.
