Thank you for posting the information about the immigrant, John Nelson,
of Boston, Massachusetts and his family. Much appreciated. I
especially enjoyed seeing the portrait of John Nelson in the Saunders

Here is an additional link to information in Dedham Historical
Register, volume 1, pp. 131-132 (published 1890) regarding the
immigrant, John Nelson, and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of William
Taylor:
Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City., Utah
Douglas Richardson
Thank you for sharing these details about the Nelson family. Much
appreciated.
I show that a Mary, wife of Robert Nelson, of St. Margaret's
Westminster, gentleman, was suspected of being a papist in 1678
[Reference: Jeaffreson, Middlesex County Records, 4 (1892): 112]. I
believe this is probably Mary Temple, wife of Robert Nelson, Esq. If
so, I doubt that Mary (Temple) Nelson died in 1669, as stated in Mr.
Johnson's book. All the same, I learned a long time ago that one has
to be extremely careful identifying people in London records, as there
are often multiple individuals with the same wive's names living at the
same time in London. As such, Mr. Johnson could well be right that
Mary (Temple) Nelson died in 1669. If so, then the Mary Nelson who was
a suspected papist in 1678 would obviously be a different woman.
Mr. Johnson is correct in stating that there is a will for a Robert
Nelson, Esq., of St. Anne's, Westminster, Middlesex dated September
1696, probated 4 August 1698. Checking online databases, it appears
that this man is generally thought to be the father of the immigrant,
John Nelson. The probate act book, however, states that Robert Nelson
was a resident of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Middlesex. If so, this
Robert Nelson was probably living in St. Anne's in 1696, when he made
his will, and living in St. Martin-in-the-Fields in 1698 when he died.
The testator names his wife, Susan (not Susanna), and his mother, Helen
Nelson. No children are named in the will. In a short codicil, he
mentions of judgement of £1200 "from my son," whose name is not given.
Also, it is unclear if the mother, Helen Nelson, was living at the
date of this will. The testator mentions that he was heir at law to a
house in Long Acre in Middlesex, which might well have belonged to his
mother. It's possible that Mr. Johnson is correct that this Robert
Nelson is the father of the immigrant, John Nelson, of Boston,
Massachusetts. But, if so, it is strange that Robert Nelson is not
mentioned in the will of his other son, Temple Nelson, proved in 1671.
Temple Nelson's will mentions only his sister, Margaret Nelson, his
kinsman, John Fiennes, Esq. (whose mother was a Temple), and Thomas
Fiennes son of his kinsman, John Fiennes.
I have yet to determine how or why Margaret Nelson, daughter of Robert
and sister of Temple, came to Virginia and married Rev. Thomas Teackle,
of Accomack County, Virginia. However, I note among her descendants
there is a Temple Nelson Robins, which name is highly suggestive.
There was supposedly a Provis Nelson who resided in early Accomack
County. This individual is identified in some databases as the brother
of Robert Nelson who married Mary Temple. If so, then Margaret
(Nelson) Teackle may have come to Virginia to live with her uncle's
family.
When you have a moment, John, perhaps you can share some more details
from Mr. Johnson's book, and tell us what documentation he has that
Mary (Temple) Nelson died in 1669, and also what documentation exists
that Robert Nelson, Esq., who left a will proved in 1698 is the
immigrant's father.

Below are two records in the A2A Catalogue which involve the immigrant,
John Nelson's father, Robert Nelson, of Gray's Inn, Middlesex. One of
these documents is dated 1654/5, the other in 1686. These records seem
to prove that Robert Nelson, Esq., of Gray's Inn, was still living in
1686. The second document bears the signature of Robert Nelson.

Douglas Richardson
The will of Robert Nelson which you mentioned is indeed recorded in
Prerogative Court of Canterburty (PCC), 8 Cambell, and can be viewed on
FHL Microfilm 92152. The will is dated 14 Dec. 1641, and was proved 31
Jan. 1641/2 by the testator's widow, Hellen Nelson. In the will, the
testator identifies himself as Robert Nelson, of Barnard's Inn, London,
gentleman. He requests burial in the parish church of St. Dunstan's in
the West. He names his wife, Hellen, his sole executrix, and refers to
his eldest son, Robert. No other relatives are mentioned.
An internet website
(http://ghotes.net/WILKINS1/jarvis/elizabethrobins.htm) states that the
above Robert Nelson was buried at St. Dunstan's in the West 21 December
1641. This date is probably correct, but needs verification with the
original parish records.
Robert Nelson and his wife, Helen, are believed to have had at least
two sons, Robert Nelson, Esq. (died 1698), of Gray's Inn (father of the
immigrant, John Nelson) and Provost (or Provis) Nelson, who immigrated
to Accomack County, Virginia. Interestingly, I find that Boyd's
Marriage Index shows the marriage of Robert Nelson and Ellen Provost in
1609 in the parish of St. Peter Westcheap, London [Reference: Percival
Boyd, Boyd's Marriage Index, London, 33: 199 (Brides); 36: 149
(Grooms)]. Again, this date is probably correct, but needs
verification with the original parish records.
In the next generation, you mentioned finding the baptisms of three
Nelson children in the International Genealogical Index at St.
Martin-in-the-Field, Westminster, Middlesex. The original parish
registers on FHL Microfilms 560369 & 560370 show the following entries:
Edmund, son of Robert & Mary Nelson, baptized 28 October 1649.
Robert, son of Robert Nelson, Esq. & Mary, baptized 21 Dec. 1651.
Henry, son of Robert Nelson, Esq., baptized 1 August 1656.
Inasmuch as Robert Nelson is twice styled "Esquire" in these records, I
think we can safely assume that he is the same person as Robert Nelson,
Esquire (died 1698), of Gray's Inn who was the father of the immigrant,
John Nelson, of Boston, Massachusetts.

I doubt very much that Helen (Provost) Nelson was living in 1696, when
her son, Robert Nelson, Esq., made his will. The way the will is
written, it is unclear if Helen was still living, as her son doesn't
leave her an outright bequest as would be typical if she was living.
According to one helpful web site I consulted this past week
(http://www.esva.net/ghotes/WILKINS/jarvis/elizabethrobins.htm), Helen
(Provost) Nelson was living in 1678. If correct, Helen Nelson
certainly lived to advanced years, as she was married back in 1609.
However, even this statement needs verification.

We were discussing the possibility of whether or not Mary, wife of
Robert Nelson, the suspected papist in 1678, could the mother of John
Nelson, of Boston, Massachusetts. In answer to the question, I found
the following information below on the internet regarding an Avice Lee,
widow, who I believe is almost certainly the same person as Mary
(Temple) Nelson's great-grandmother, Avice (Ashfield) Lee, who died in
1599. The Robert Dormer named in this material below was the brother
of Mary (Dormer) Browne, whose daughter, Dorothy Browne, married Edmund
Lee, Esq., son and heir of Avice (Ashfield) Lee.
If this information is correct, at least some of Mary (Temple) Nelson's
family were Catholic.

In 1585, while Thomas Belson was still in prison, the Sheriff of
Buckinghamshire, Robert Dormer of Wing, was ordered to compile a list
of recusants. Each was to pay a fine of £260 (= £28,000 today) and
finance a cavalryman for the Queen. Robert Dormer was himself a
Catholic, which helps explain the leniency of the Buckinghamshire
judiciary towards his co-religionists. The authorities knew that he
harboured priests and even that Fr Edmund Campion had celebrated Mass
at his house. Dormer also had many Catholic relatives. His
brothers-in-law included Francis Browne of Henley Park, George Browne
of Shefford, the younger Francis Englefield and the Count of Feria,
formerly Philip II's representative in England. The martyred Carthusian
monk Sebastian Newdigate, an uncle of Dame Cecily Stonor, was the
Sheriff's great uncle.
But despite his religious allegiance, Robert Dormer did not altogether
avoid the duties of his office. He named twenty-two Catholics and the
threat of the new penalties proved too much for at least one. The widow
Avice Lee, a neighbour of the Belsons, had refused to conform for the
last two decades. Now, worn down by the struggle, she saved her lands
by taking Communion in her parish church. However, two years later she
was again listed as a recusant. Her younger son Roger became a guide
and helper to the Jesuit Fr John Gerard, and subsequently became a
Jesuit priest himself. END OF QUOTE.

Mary (Temple) Nelson's maternal grandparents were Edmund Lee, Esq.

Dorothy (Browne) Lee is a known descendant of King Edward III of

In my earlier post, I noted that the immigrant, John Nelson's
great-grandmother, Dorothy Browne, wife of Edmund Lee, Esq., of
Pitstone and Stantonbury, Buckinghamshire, had two daughter by her Lee
marriage, namely Dorothy (wife of Sir John Temple) and Mary (wife of
John Claver). Both daughters are mentioned in VCH Buckingham, 4
(1927): 464.
I checked the 1653 PCC will of Dorothy Browne, widow successively of
Edmund Lee, Esq., _____ Wolverstone, and William Ascue (or Ayscough).
In her will she names her son, John Wolverstone; her daughter, Mary,
wife of Thomas Tyrrell, of Gipping, Suffolk; her [grand]daughter,
Dorothy Alston; her grandson, Thomas Temple; and various Ascue
step-children.
Since locating this will, I've found the marriage of Mary (Lee) Claver
to Thomas Tyrrell in the IGI. The IGI shows that Mary Clavers and
Thomas Tyrrell were married at St. Lawrence Pountney, London 18 Feb.
1625. This marriage record confirms that Mary Lee married (1st) John
Claver (or Clavers), and (2nd) Thomas Tyrrell, of Gipping, Suffolk.
Elsewhere, I've learned that Dorothy Browne's third husband, William
Ascue (or Ayscough), Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to King Charles I,
was the second son of Edward Ascue (or Ayscough), of Nun Cotham,
Lincolnshire, by Ursula, daughter of Henry Skipwith [see Maddison,
Lincolnshire Peds. 1 (H.S.P. 50) (1902): 58-68 (Ayscough pedigree)].
By a previous marriage, William Ascue was the father of Sir George
Ascue (or Ayscough), Admiral of England.
If anyone has any further particulars on Lee, Wolverstone, Claver(s),
Tyrrell, or Ascue families, I'd appreciate it if they would post what
information they have here on the newsgroup.

The following information is given for Sir George Ayscough, Admiral of
England, in Maddison, Lincolnshire Peds. 1 (H.S.P. 50) (1902): 58-68
(Ayscough pedigree). Sir George Ayscough was the step-brother of the
immigrant, John Nelson's grandmother, Lady Dorothy (Lee) Temple.
"Sir George Ayscough, Admiral of England, temp. Charles I. and II;
knighted at Whitehall 9 Augus 1641; lived at Ham, parish of Chertsey,
Surrey; 'returned from a severe restraint in Holland, and kissed the
King's hand 12 Nov. 1667;' married Mary, daughter of Martin Fotherby,
Lord Bishop of Salisbury, and widow of John Boys. They had a son
George, baptized at St. Giles-in-the-Fields 20 Jan. 1644-5." END OF

Sir George Ayscough's father is identified by Maddison as:

wife are mentioned in his father's wiil 31 August 1616." END OF QUOTE.
The name of William Ayscough's wives (the last being Dorothy Browne)
are not mentioned by Maddison.
