Child of Mrs. NELSON.
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 223, shows: a child of Mrs. NELSON was stillborn and was buried in NOV 1860 (from "November 1, 1860 to April 1, 1861, Sexton report," dated 01 APR 1861. Henry M. HARRIS was sexton then.).
The sexton records from NOV 1860 to MAR 1861 were poorly kept, by comparison to what had become the standard by that time. The sexton, Henry M. HARRIS, was first elected in DEC 1859, re-elected in DEC 1860, and would go on to be re-elected one more time, in DEC 1861. He had been submitting periodic reports to the city council that showed the date of interment, the name, age and cause of death for persons buried in the municipal cemetery for "White" persons (later named Linwood). But the records for November stopped on the 19th of that month, and the subsequent report covered November 1860 through March 1861, but showing only the name and age for each burial, and some of the records for November don't match what had previously been submitted. Perhaps HARRIS became ill during this period and his abilities were diminished, or someone else was filling in as best they could.
There is no entry for this NELSON child on the first sexton report that covers NOV 1860. Because the first list stops with burials on 19 NOV, tt seems likely that the burial took place between 20 NOV and 30 NOV 1860.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, this grave would be in the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, or Section 2 (unless it was subsequently reinterred to another part of the cemetery).
There is a chance that this entry on the second list corresponds with the stillborn child of Mrs. ROBINSON on the first list (ROBISON in Martin, which also doesn't show a child of NELSON). Perhaps the name NELSON was picked up in error by the clerk from the next entry (Mrs. NELSON), which is the first of two interments in DEC 1860. Or, if not, this is possibly the child of this Mrs. NELSON
