Notes:

William Nelson's parents were William Nelson and Haneva Ellen Nelson. His mother was taken away by Carpetbaggers during the Civil War and not seen again.  William did not know his exact age.  The whereabouts of his father is not known. It has been said William was raised in the home of Jessie Callahan (born Dec 24, 1827, died Jan 10, 1907, buried Holston Conf. Cem.) who was found living in Glade Spring, VA during the 1860 Washington Co. VA Census.  Jessie Callahan was a brother of William Callahan.  William is buried beside his first wife, Maggie Callahan (Nelson), at the Holston Conf. Cemetery, Emory, VA.

William married Margaret Ann (Maggie) WORLEY. Margaret (daughter of David Charles WORLEY and Ellen Elvira Dice Eveline Mahala Jane Kathryn SNODGRASS) was born 12 Feb 1869; died 4 Oct 1963, Glade Spring, TX. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

At age 37, Margaret married her brother-in-law, William Nelson, 42 years old at time of marriage. William's first wife was Joseph Callahan's sister, Margaret Callahan and they had three children. The Callahan name is spelled in early records as both Callahan and Callahan. Margaret Worley was in mourning for all of her life to the extent she wore only dark colors.  A younger sister had drowned and at that time Margaret went into mourning. She lived on the Lee Highway and as a widow, raised her children by working as a housekeeper for the McKinnley Family in Emory, VA.

1920 WASHINGTON CO. VA Census states: Maggie Worley Callahan Nelson states her father, David Worley, was born in Illinois.

Family tradition says this baby is buried beside Joseph Callahan at Old Glade Cemetery, Washington Co. VA. This is probably the case as two graves were bought and Margaret is buried in the New Part of the Cemetery.
