Sidney Nelson was a native of Pendleton County Virginia (now West Virginia), born the 25th of October 1809, was the first child of Benjamin & Delphena "Delphy" Arbaugh (Miller) NELSON, both natives of Greenbrier County Virginia (now West Virginia), the father born in 1781 and the mother in 1792.
Benjamin & Delphena (Miller) NELSON were married on the 10th of January 1809 and remained in their native state after their marriage until 1822, and then removed to Lawrence County Ohio, where Benjamin Nelson purchased a quarter section of land in Symmes Township.
For a period of nineteen years, Benjamin & Delphena's young family, endured the hardships of pioneer life, and in due time Benjamin became the proprietor of 400 acres of land. The family's household circle included fourteen children, thirteen of whom grew to mature years, married, and raised families of their own.
In 1841 the father (Benjamin Nelson) sold his farm in Lawrence County Ohio and removed his family to a point near Anderson in Madison County Indiana, where Benjamin purchased 280 acres of improved land, which he occupied until his death in 1846. The mother died in 1877.
Back to Sidney Nelson...it seems she was first married around 1829 to William Hobble, whose family had also left Virginia around the same time as the Nelson family, and had settled on a neighboring farm in Lawrence Co Ohio.
After their marriage William & Sidney (Nelson) Hobble, settled on their own farm in between Sidney's parents' farm and William's recently widowed mother & siblings still at home on his family's farm.
