Robert Nelson and Elizabeth Joseph
Today's story is about my maternal great-great-great grandparents, Robert Nelson and Elizabeth Joseph Nelson. Irish ancestors who joined the church in Scotland and came to America. Elizabeth grew up Jewish, and was disowned when she was forced to marry a Christian boy - Robert Nelson. They lived in a chicken-coop after arriving in Utah, and settled in Cache Valley. What a great example of sacrifice and determination!
