Henry Nelson (b. 10-6-1839)
 He married Clarrisa N. Forbes (b. 1841-d. 11/13/1876), their children:
  Franklin F. (b. 3/12/1869-d. 6/20/1870)
  Richard W. (b. 1/16/1872-d. 4/8/1875)
  Charles Willard (b. 2/16/1874-d. 12/20/1962)
  Horatio N. (b. 1870-d. 8/6/1955)

 Henry married Cornelia, their children:
  Rosmaund (b. 12/21/1891-d. 1/10/1966) She never married.
  Nina (b. 2/4/1879)

My part of the lineage comes from Horatio’s son, Henry Nelson’s son, Charles Willard. His mother died from saving his life in a sleigh accident. The drive had lost control of the horses and she jumped from the sleigh with Charles in her arms. She hit her head on a rock, never regaining consciousness. The nanny was with them and she had Charles’s brother Horatio N. with them. I believe they jumped as well, but remained safe.

Charles went on to marry Ruth Dwight and together they had one son, Charles Willard Junior. Their line goes like this:

Charles Willard II married Anne Dolan, (see obit) their children:

i   Mary Ruth (b. 3/1/1957)was adopted and never married, but had 1 child.
   a.  Jennifer Susan (b. 8/3/1977) ME; not married but have children as well
              i. Ashlyn Michelle (b. 1/29/1996)
             ii. Scott Thomas (b. 5/13/1997) was adopted.
i  Charles Willard III (b. 3/15/1958) He is blood related.
     Charles Willard (Willard) married Lauren Winter, their children:  
       a.  Talia (b. 5/22/1984)
       b. Craig Willard Winter (b. 6/25/1987)
