William Wesley Sly was born 9 July 1848 in Oakland County, Michigan. At the age of 16 he went to sea and before he was 21 years of age, he circumnavigated the globe. He lived in England two years and engaged in painting for which he had a natural ability. From there he went to Italy, Asia, East India, China and was in Abyssinian expedition with supplies, was at Ensley Bay at the time King Theodore suicided. In 1869 he returned to Bomban, and there went on board the Great Eastern, laying cable. He served in the late war and after peace was declared, he went again to sea. In 1872 he engaged in the paint business in Detroit and remained there until 1878. (With the exception of one schooner trip to Duluth, in which he was shipwrecked and nearly lost his life.) In 1878 he came to Minneapolis and took charge of the Minnesota Linseed Oil Company and paint works. In 1889 he formed a partnership with L.J. Skiinner, known as the Minneapolis Liquid Paint Company. He married in June 1880, Mary-daughter of Rev. L.D. Brown of St. Paul.

(This is a letter from William W. Sly, born 1848, to his son George L. Sly)
PANAMA RAILROAD COMPANY July 26,1909 Geo. L. Sly Bristol, England
Son George, Your last came to hand in due time. Glad to hear from you and to know that you are well and that your mother is better. So I am still here doing nothing. Things look pretty blue for me here. Am still looking for something no matter what it is so long as I can make a living and save a little and when I do get a little ahead, will leave this country for sure as it is no good at all anymore. I do not know where I will head for as yet but am on the lookout for someplace. It is all guesswork to know the best place. I suppose that you will be going back to Africa again soon or if not, where to? Keep me posted where you are as we can write one another sometime so long as we can buy stamps.

The canal is going on all the time and will be finished in 1915 sure then you will see the greatest waterway in the world. It sure is a big job of work but will go through all right. The railroad is one of the best on earth and does more business than any railroad on earth for its length, only 48 miles long from Panama to Colon Coast. Two dollars and forty five cents.....first class and no baggage. For it you must pay three cents per pound on all baggage except your suitcase and things like that. Each day four trains come to Panama and on Sundays six trains, two hospital cars bring in the sick and wounded to the Ancon which is the largest hospital in the world, consisting of something like 26 buildings, all separate and each one from fifty to eighty feet on the ground floor and many of them are two story high. The largest part of the sick are negros. Yes, seven eights of the sick are blacks but all have white American nurses and have just the same treatments as the whites. There is wards for Americans, English, Germans, French, Italians, Spanish, Negroes and Greeks. So you see we have a mixed population down here in this country. No more for this time. Remember me to all your family, your wife and baby. Yours W.W. Sly Ancon P. O.

Rodney Nelson and Amy Ann Will
Rodney Nelson was born March 17, 1819 in Bay of Quinte, Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Amy Ann (also known as Mary Ann, Amanda, or Emma) Will was born June 8, 1828 in Oakville, Ontario.
The first Ontario census was not until 1852 , when Rodney was 31 and Emma was 25. By then they have moved to Houghton, Norfolk County. They have three young sons (David, 4, Daniel, 2, and a baby boy) and list their religion as Methodist. In 1871 they are still in Houghton, with their oldest son gone but eight more children (seven boys and a girl) still living at home. In 1881 their daughter and three youngest sons are still at home in Houghton. In the 1891 Farmer’s Directory for Houghton , Rodney is listed as a freeholder in Houghton, concession 3 lot 1, and Edward and Lawson as tenants. The 1877 atlas for Houghton shows the location of Rodney’s farm .
Amy Ann died on July 13, 1889 in Houghton. Rodney followed almost exactly a year later, on July 15, 1890. Both are buried in the Hemlock Cemetery in Houghton township.
Rodney’s parents: David Nelson and Katherine Williams . Amy Ann’s parents: Daniel William Will and Hope Hathaway . Children: David William (b. 1848), Daniel Henry (b. 1850), Ebenezer (b. about 1851, d. Apr 20, 1870 of typhoid), James (b. 1853), Rodney Miles (b. 1857), Celena Jane (b. 1859), John Wesley (b. 1861), Arnold W. (b. 1863), Edward Henry (b. 1866), Gordon Lawson (b. 1868).
Sources: family in 1871 and 1881 . Research notes: I have not found a good way to search or capture the 1861 census. I used FamilySearch.org and searched for any Nelson residing in “Houghton, Norfolk, Ontario, Canada” in the census. The family comes up in order, starting from Rodney and ending with John.

Rodney was a ships carpenter at Port Nelson, Burlington. David William was about 1 year old when Rodney and Amy moved to a homestead of 100 acres which was the west half of Lot 1, Concession 3, Houghton Township. The Norfolk County Register shows he received the patent from the crown for this on December 20, 1869. Walter Nelson of Brownsville, Ontario, a grandson of Rodney Nelson had some of his carpenter tools, a pine cupboard that was beside the fireplace in the log cabin, a picture of the frame house he built later and the family bible with full records of births and deaths of the twelve children. Also a copy of his last will dated April 14, 1890. Ninety acres of this homestead was cleared during his occupancy of this farm.
This was in the Nelson Family of New York manuscript that Cortez Nelson had privately printed in 1974.

281 !NOTE: Samuel Sherman came to Boston from England in June of 1634 when he was about 14 years of age. He went with father to Watertown, Massachusetts, and remained there a couple of years. He came to Wethersfield, Connecticut probably in 1636 for the following May he was one of the committee, who before the General Court was organized, which declared war against the Pequot Indians, he being then but 19 years of age. He married, probably at Wethersfield, Sarah, daughter of Mathew Mitchell, and sister of the Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, probably in the year 1640. He then to moved to Stamford, and finally settled in Stratford, now Bridgeport, Connecticut, before 1656. He was an Assistant or Member of the General Court in 1662, 1663, and 1664, and in 1665 he was appointed one of a committee of sixto watch and guard the coast, as a war committee, if the Dutch fleet should make its appearance, as expected, from Stratford to Rye. It is probably for his services in the General Court that he received from the General Court in October, 1664, 250 acres of land, which were finally located in Stratford, nearly opposite Derby Landing. He became possessed of a large quantity of land in Stratford, all of which nearly, he gave to his children before his decease, and he removed from Stratford village to the home of one of his sons on the Toilsome road near the Second Stratfield meetinghouse. In a writinf dated Nov. 9, 1685, he says, "I Samuel Sherman, Senr., now of Fairfield" showing that he was then living on the west side of the Toilsome road in the town of Fairfield. He died at that place, according to his grave-stone inscription, a facsimile of which is here given.

Biography
Hon. Samuel Sherman came from Dedham with his father Edmund, who died at New Haven, Conn., 1641.[citation needed]
HON. SAMUEL SHERMAN was baptized at Dedham, Essex, England on July 12, 1618. (Reg. 50, p. 416.)[1] He migrated with his parents, Edmund and Grace (Makin) Sherman,[1] and several siblings in 1635[1] when he was about 17 years old.[1]His brother, Rev. John Sherman had arrived in 1634.[1]Other brothers Edmund and Richard remained in England, sister Joan may have married Henry Wright of Dedham, Mass., and sister Hester married in England to Andrew Ward and they came to New England in 1633. Another sister Grace married John Livermore.[1]

Samuel was briefly at Boston, [citation needed] Watertown, Massachusetts, went from there about 1636, to Wethersfield.[1] Afterwards at Stamford until about 1650, then Stratford, and finally in 1685 to the area in Stratfield which was in Fairfield, Connecticut.[1]
