John D. Nelson and his parents moved to Ducktown, Polk
County. I have evidence, but not primary evidence, that John D. Nelson's mother
was Nancy Elizabeth (Butler) Nelson (born ~1797 died after 1855) and his father
was John Sterling Nelson (born ~1798 died 1855). The Nelson family may have
been livig with Archibald Nelson, the brother of John Sterling Nelson in
January 1830. John D. Nelson (b 1825 d 1918) was in or near Ducktown, Tenn. on
Jan. 5, 1830. This comes from a submittal on an application given to the Church
of the Latter Day Saints. I am guessing the John Sterling Nelson family moved
back to GA in the late 1830's, therefore John Daniel would have attended public
school in Ducktown or a town near Ducktown. I offer $300 award to anyone who
can supply me with a photocopy of a primary record that states the names of the
parents of John Daniel. I will give the $300 to only the first person who
supplies me with the primary evidence. Please call me if you would like to

My gg grandfather, John Guinn and g grandfather Elbert Guinn
lived in Polk Co at least during the 1870 and 1880 census. They were both mill
hands or millers and lived 3rd district, and/or Parkville post office area.
During the 1860 census they lived in Greene Co with the same occupation, 14th
district - Henderson Mills post office. How can I find information on census
districts for Tenn counties and locations of old mills so that I can narrow
