This information was posted to Ancestry.com as a PDF document in 2017 by jmbaker1954.
He gives credit for the 1949 origins of the information, but someone, perhaps he, must have typed the transciption into the PDF. I have re-entered it as a "story" just to make it more accessible. I found only one transcription error; that is, the second child of John Griffith Nelson and Polly Arbuckle was "Davis" G Nelson", not "David".
