Hello, Brian: I hope you don't mind me cotacting you about the Nichols line. I have been doing a lot of research on my husband's line of BURTON. I know that one of his ggg-grandfather's daughters married a Nichols and hoped you might help. According to the Marriage Records of Drew County, Miss Mary Jane BURTON (19) was wed to George Washington Nichols (25) on 30 Oct 1856 in the home of R. (Robert) Burton, Drew County. I have been following the family thru the Federal Census of Arkansas since 1850. In 1850 Mary Jane BURTON (b. TN) was 13 years old living with her parents Robert and Jane Burton in Dwelling 908 in the Springhill Twnp, Drew County. Then, six years later, she married George W. Nichols. By the 1860 census, she and her daughter "Hettie" were again living with her parents. I am not sure when Mr. Nichols died or how he died, but Mary Jane (age 23) wed for the second time on 14 Jan. 1861 to Wm. F. Chandler (age 26). [Marriage Book of Drew Co.]. I believe that he must have died in 1868 because she was married for the third time to Albanius J. Hall soon after. She is buried in the "Campground Cemetery"; she died in 1911. I really would have liked to have known her. She sounds very interesting. I hoped I have wasted too much of your time chatting away about the Burton family. I am definitely interested in find out about George W. Nichols. I believe he would have been born about 1831, probably here in Drew or maybe, Lincoln, counties since we have a large contingent of NICHOLS here. I live here in Monticello, Drew County; this has been my home for 60 years. If you have any info which would help me, I would appreciate it so very much.
