| Summary Note | Summary: "In 1638, Thomas Nelson traveled with Rev. Ezekiel Rogers and his company from Rowley, Yorkshire, England, to settle Rowley, Massachusetts. This genealogy treats several generations of Nelson descendants and provides new insight into Thomas's possible ancestry at Drax, Yorkshire. An ahnentafel for Philip Stapleton, the maternal grandfather of Thomas and Philip Nelson, is also included, and indicates each way he descends from Edward I, King of England, and Edward III, King of England. Appendixes provide additional historical context regarding the establishment of Rowley, Massachusetts, and discuss the royal line of Dorothy Stapleton, Thomas Nelson's first wife" -- Publisher's description.
