Isaac Nelson
From the entry in the [[../books/erickson.html|Dictionary of West Australians]], it seems that Isaac Nelson arrived 23 August 1829, took one look, and left on the Calista, which had only arrived 5 August 1829, and presumably had not got around to leaving yet. The date when it did leave is unknown. He may have set the record for the would-be settler who spent the least time here.
Erickson:
NELSON, Isaac, b. 1792, arr. 23.8.1829 per Marquis of Anglesea with wife Harriett b. 1798 & 3 chd. John b. 1823, Sophia b. 1825 & William b. 1827. Also a servant J. Hampshire. He intended selling some of his property when he requested permission to leave with family & servant per Calista in 1829.
