  Notes for William T. NASH
 1850 CENSUS: Norfolk County, Portsmouth, 12 Sep 1850
 Page 109, dwelling #196, Family #862
 Nelson, Levi 45y/o WM, laborer, value of real estate $1000, born in Virginia
 " Rebecca, 43 y/o WF, born in Virginia Nash, WM. 22 y/o WM, blacksmith, born in Virginia
  The Levi Nelson family lived 3 dwellings from the Blanks Davis family. A William Nash married
 Sarah Davis. According to Henley Marriage and Obituary Database, Rebecca Nash married Levi Melson June 11, 1829 . Her father was Thomas Nash, of Western Branch. William Thomas Nash was her younger half-brother, according to the wills of Rebecca's husband and father. Also listed in the 1850 census was a Caleb Melson, age 55, Carpenter, born in VA. His wife was Catherine, age 50, also born in Virginia. Possibly Levi's brother, but I have not been able to determine a connection.
  A Levi Melson served in the 20th Battalion, Virginia Heavy Artillery, Company B, Choon's Battalion, Virginia Infantry, Company C, and The 61st Infantry, Company I. Rank was private, Confederate Army. Obviously not the same Levi Melson, since the above died in 1852, but Levi is not a common name and there must be a connection. [TDavis.FTW]
