From "History of Mercer County, 1888, p. 688:
DANIEL NELSON, retired farmer, was born October 1, 1815, in Huntingdon County, Penn., to John and Margaret (Graff) Nelson, natives of the same county. The former was of Irish extraction and the latter of German. The parents came to Mercer County in the spring of 1837, and settled in what is now Springfield Township. Here they bought land, on which they died. Daniel attended the country schools of his boyhood days. At the age of twenty-three years he was married to Mary, a daughter of George Webb, an early settler of this county. He took his bride to a farm of 140 acres given him by his father. After having improved his farm he, in 1860, sold and came to Mercer, and bought a building which stood on the present site of the Whistler House, and there kept hotel for five years. While thus engaged five of his children died within thirty days with diphtheria. Their names were Nancy, Mary A., Harriet, Charles and Frank, and they are buried side by side in the cemetery with their graves marked with marble slabs. The remainder of Mr. Nelson’s children were: Margaret, married William F. Thomas; Melissa, Catharine, George, Caroline and Rebecca. He bought and improved property in Rochester, Beaver County, where he lived for two years. He was engaged in the dry goods business at West Middlesex with a Mr. Rossler, the stock of goods having been removed by him from Rochester, where he had been engaged in business for one year. In one year Mr. Nelson bought the stock and removed it to Prime’s Corners, and after one year there he bought the store of Adam Ketler, at London, Springfield Township, where he remained for two years. He gave the business to his daughter Catharine, and came again to Mercer in 1873, and bought his present residence, where he lives a somewhat retired life. His wife is a member of the First Presbyterian Church and he is a Republican.

Elizabeth Norton

Biography
- Birth: 12 October 1862; Janeville, New Bandon, New Brunswick

- Death: 21 March 1937; South Bathurst, New Brunswick

- Note: Birth date from 1901 census is 12 March 1871. A family bible gives a birth date of 12 October 1862 (EJ). However, the 1900 marriage registration shows her age as 45! Her parents are said to be John and Mary Norton. I couldn't find her in either 1871 or 1891. The 1881 census shows her as a servant in the household of Edward and Mary Jennings in New Bandon, age 18. She was still a resident of New Bandon parish when she married. In 1911 she was living alone in Bathurst. Burial record: "Mrs. Samuel Bateman, aged 73, of South Bathurst died on March 23, 1937" (St. George's Anglican Church, Bathurst). Elizabeth died at the home of Mrs. William Watson of South Bathurst after a long illness. She was survived "by her husband, for some years a resident of Bangor, Maine."
- Note: Henry Samuel Bateman; Henry Samuel Bateman, 33, of Bathurst parish and Elizabeth Norton, 45, of New Bandon parish were married by Thomas W. Street, Rector; witnesses were Raymond Baldwin and Elizabeth Bateman, both of Bathurst. Parish register entry #192. Samuel signed the register with an X.
