Notes

Father: Robert NEILSON b: 3 Apr 1738 in Antrim Co., Ireland Mother: Elizabeth HALL b: in Ireland. "Graduate Royal College of Dublin. Came to America in 1790 at Jersey City, N. J. , then became sea captain. Sailed between the West Indies and Atlantic ports/ Crippled in storm, shipwrecked off island of Marquerita off S. American coast, became bookeeper in Philadelphia, moved to Savannah, then Augusta in mercantile business with brother-in-law, Robert Campbell, (see misc notes) moved to Tuscaloosa in 1832 to plant cotton. gradually lost money and only had 100 slaves at death.( This appears to be an exaggeration) His farm was for sale per a 12/30/1847 newspaper article It reads,"Plantation and residence of John Neilson for sale. Six miles west of Tuscaloosa, near Huntsville Rd, 560 acres."

His wife had inherited the slaves. He was referred to as Captain John. Tuscaloosa Co. records of his estate had his son, John H. Neilson as administrator. He left $230.93 each to his wife, Maria, and his sons John H., George D. and Robert.

His obituary reads" Died at his residence,in this neighborhood, yesterday morning, Capt. John Neilson, aged about 70 years, formerly of Augusta, Ga. Funeral today at 11 o'clock at the Presbyterian Church." His tombstone has the masonic emblem on the top; therefore, he must have been a mason.

From Vol 13, p67 Alabama records-5-31-1831-"John Neilson of Richmond Co, Ga. to Dennis Dent in trust for my wife, Negroes that were left to my wife, Maria Neilson and her children, by the last will and testament of her grandmother, Elizabeth Truman of Columbia County, Ga."

His partnership with his brother in law, John Camapbell, was disolved in May 1807.He immediately began another dry goods and grocery business with his brother, Samuel Neilson, This continued until May, 1815. He auctioned off his stock of goods in another enterprise on 2 February, 1813. He later purchased his brothers Tanyard in January, 1817. He and his brother foreclosed 120 acres in July 1818. He sold 2 lots comprising 6 acres in May, 1819. He and Thomas H. Fendall (his brother-in-law on his wife's side) were foreclosed on for 5 acres in July, 1823. He placed an add in the paper on August 18, 1830 to sell his plantation and negroes.

He was Captain of the Augusta Rangers in 1806. The History of Augusta says that there was a "breeze of war "in Augusta in 1806 as a result of the British vessel Leopard firing upon The Chesapeake, an American ship,. It says," Captian John Neilson of the Augusta Rangers and Captain George W. Evans, of the Augusta Independent Blues, tendered their services to the President, who responded in a handsome letter of thanks ."

1790 Census has a John Neilson living in Penn. Page 327 of York County, Pa. Chanceford district enumeration. He is listed as head of household with one free white male over 16 years in the household, 2 free white males under 16 years of age, and four free white females.
Beneath his name in the census is Wm Neilson. Living with him are 3 free white males over 16, no males under 16, and one free white female, and three other persons.

These names may be uncles of John Neilson as he would only be 19 and his brother William would only be 13 in 1790. However I strongly believe that he was living in Philadelphia in 1790 because of family notes."

Notes

Children: John, Joseph, Benjamin, Martha, Jonathan, David, Isaac, Mary, Rebecca.
"Mary Soule was married to JOHN PETERSON. We abstract the following from records found in the Genealogical Register of date April, 1916: "Mary Soule, born before 1650, daughter of George Soule and Mary Beckett of Duxbury, was married before 1665 to John Peterson, an early inhabitant of that town. He died between 29th April, 1718 (date of his will) and 26th March, 1720 (date of inventory), and was probably buried on the farm in Duxbury, perhaps on the very spot where in recent years excavations have revealed an ancient burial place. His farm was at Powder Point and was purchased of his father-in-law, George Soule, who, in a deposition of date 27th Oct., 1674, states that it had been his homestead farm; and this land on which George Soule and John Peterson had in turn lived remained in possession of their descendants almost to the present time.

In 1664 when Mary was 20, she married John PETERSON, M, in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts.1 Born in 1636 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts.3 John died in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts on 26 Mar 1720, he was 84.
They had the following children:
i. John, M (1666-1690)
ii. Joseph, M (1668-1751)
iii. Benjamin, M (1669-1760)
iv. Martha, F (~1672-1718)
v. Jonathan, M (1674-1760)
vi. David, M (1676-1760)
vii. Isaac, M (~1678-1740)
viii. Mary, F (1680-1755)
ix. Rebecca, F (1682-1761)"
