Seeking ancestors of Annie Elizabeth Nelson and her brother, Hartford Dixson Nelson. They were born about 1850/1854. Annie came to western NY about 1868/69, with her husband William Thomas Keith. Hartford Dixson Nelson (b.1852) became a State Senator in Albany NY, residing in Oneonta NY. Their sister Sarah married a man named Gunn and raised her family on Long Island, New York City. Death certificates lists their parents as Alexander Nelson and Olivia Dixson. They were both supposedly born in Londonderry Ireland. Annie Keith traveled back to Ireland in 1905 and on her return said she had been in Antrim. I have found much of the family in NY but cannot seem to get a tie to Ireland. Any help would be appreciated. These families lived in Oneonta, Schenevus, Worcester, Harpersfield, Kortright, .......Thanks.
