Family relationships from 1860 Marshall Co. census and LONDON vs LONDON lawsuit,
Tennessee Supreme Court, December term 1839. Nathaniel was Administrator for the
estate of his uncle Amos London, Jr. that was settled in Giles Co, Tn. Before
final settlement, Nathan died and Alfred L London was made administrator of the
estate in March 1866.
Wife: Eleanor Nelly
Wilson

Notes
MCHQ Biographical Sketches of Early Marshall Co Families for Hiram WILSON, Vol.
IV, Summer 1973, No 11, pg 61 states that Elanor (Nelly) WILSON married Nathan
LONDON, son of Amos and MARY LONDON. That Nathan was Amos’ son must be
incorrect as Nathan is defined as John's son by way of his deposition in the
LONDON vs LONDON case.
