GRAY HILL
An old cemetery was located on the Pine Grove-Roquemore road out of
Pine Hill. Markers were there as late as 1920, but now no markers are
in eviaence. Known to be buried there was the mother of Nancy Nelson-
Little-Swain. The mother was: Elizabeth (Mansfield) NELSON, born
about 1795. Married John Nelson in Jefferson County, Tennessee
1 March 1808. They moved to Bedford County, Tennessee by 1825 and
John Nelson, a veteran of the War of 1812, died there 15 August 1830.
The widow, Elizabeth came to Rusk County, Texas with her daughters and
one son. She died after 1862, when she signed a deed giving her son
John Campbell Nelson her right to her oldest son, Andrew Nelson's
bounty land. Andrew Nelson had died at the battle of the Alamo in
1836. Two daughters were: Mary Ann (Pollyann) Nelson, wife of Robert
W. Welch, and Amanda Nelson, wife of Willian D. Little, and others.
