I've posted this on other lists and wanted to add it here. I know the
Nicholson lines are really scrambled in Washington Co. So if you see
anything that you can help me verify below, I would love to hear from you.
Several of the sons have marriages not verified.
Samuel & Rachel (Perry) Nicholson, NC> Washington Co>Bartholomew Co.
Surnames: Nicholson, Perry,-Carter, Cox,Campbell, Draper,Holliday,
Kenoyer,Parker, Perisho, Peelle, Thompson

Hello researchers,
I hope this will connect some of you looking for Indiana Nicholson's. This
particular line began as a Quaker family from Pasquotank NC area. I'm just
beginning to track more of this line in Indiana. I know some of their
grandchildren went further west. This information began with a search in the
Abstracts of the Records of the Society of Friends in Indiana, Edited by
Willard Heiss. Quaker book Volume #, 5, page 108, dated 1815 list Samuel &
wife Rachel__ & children. I have followed these families through the 1850
census. And confirmed with the will of Samuel Nicholson of Bartholomew
County dated 1844.
Would like to hear from anyone connected. I have other generations beginning
to form.
