"Tazewell County Death Register 1853-1871" by Wilson and Wilson. On Sept 14, 1857, a Henry W. Nash is killed by the kick of a horse. His parents are listed as William and Mary Nash. It states that he, Henry W. Nash, was killed in Abbs Valley, Tazewell Co., Va, and was born in Prince Edward Co., VA. Age at death was 22 years, 4 months and 15 days. The death was reported by William D. Nash, father. In the 1860 Tazewell Co., VA Census, there is no Joseph D. Nash & Mary. There is a William & Mary Nash. By doing further research I have found that the "Joseph" Nash in the 1850 Census could have been a mistake or his real name may have been Joseph William Daniel Nash. "Tazewell County Heritage" 1799-1995, Vol I, Pg. 191 William Daniel Nash's family was the first Nash family in Tazewell County, Virginia. William was the son of Thomas Nash, the immigrant from England in 1774 to Culpepper, VA, who married Sarah Daniel Cole. They settled in Charlotte County. William and Mary left Prince Edward Co., VA in 1849. They settled on a farm across from the (1990s era) Springville school in Tazewell Co., VA.

Tazewell County. The county was formed in 1800, and the Nashes came just a few years later, when new settlers could expect to have the help of neighbors to build a log cabin in one day. In those days, there was still fear of Shawnee and Cherokee Indians, and the land was still heavily forested and with much game. Where mastodons had grazed, there were many deer and even buffalo. Although the county has considerable rich land in its valleys, it is also mountainous. Summers in the lowlands average 92 degrees at the hottest in the summer, but is cooler in the mountains, where the average snow depth in the winter is 39 inches. The population is heavily Scotch-Irish, which is the same as saying Scotch-protestant. There are also many Irish Catholics. Now most of the forest is gone from the slopes and blue grass has taken its place. Although the Nashes owned slaves in Tazewell Co., the members of the family who moved on to Iowa joined the Union army during the Civil War. The Nashes who remained in Virginia fought on the Confederate side.
