Notes |
- From the Pioneers of Missouri book:
NICHOLS, Mr. Nichols, of Pennsylvania, was of German descent. He removed from PA., to VA., married ELIZABETH THOMAS, and afterward removed to KY., and settled in Clark Co., near Bryan's Station, where he died at the age of 98 years. His widow died many years afterward, aged 115 years. Their children were George, William, Robert, Frederick, James, Catharine, Frances and Elizabeth, 5 of whom lived and died in MO., and 3 in KY. George was born in Loudon Co., Va., and was married in the same county to REBECCA DAVIS, by whom he had James, William, George, Jr., Garret, Felix G., Frederick, Elizabeth, Polly, Eveline, Nancy and Sally. Mr. Nichols removed with his family to Callaway Co., MO. in 1824, and entered the land upon which Fulton is situated. The town was laid off in 1825, and he donated 50 acres of his land to the county. Mr. Nichols built the first cabin in Fulton, and had to go ten miles to get men to help him raise it. They came before sunrise on the appointed day, had the cabin completed before the sun went down, and danced in it the same night.
Children:
1. James Nichols
2. William Nichols
3. George Nichols Jr.
4. Garrett Nichols
5. Felix G. Nichols
6. Fredrick Nichols
7. Polly Nichols
8. Evaline Nichols
9. Nancy Nichols
10. Sally Nichols
He is buried in Pioneer Cemetery in Fulton. The cemetery was probably built on his land. There is a Rachel Nichols, born 1770 buried there and his son Felix G. Nichols, who still have headstones in 2009. I am thinking the Rachel is probably his wife who was also called Rebecca.
