I agree that there should be a connection between William Nelson and Sarah
Nelson, but I can't find one. Possibly William was first married to Sarah
and he later married Alice. He did name Alice as his wife in his will in
1781. By the way, in part one of the material you sent, notice was given of
intention to take depositions of several witnesses. One was Mrs. Alice
Nelson, but I didn't get that one. Did I miss it?

My timeline for the Shuttleworths seems to be off. I show that Mary,
daughter of Thomas, was born about 1679. That must be wrong. What do you
have for dates for the Shuttleworth family?
