My grandmother was Rosa Belle NICHOLS born in 1884 the daughter of John NICHOLS and Jane (Susie) Hamilton. I believe she was born in Benton County, but when she married John CURTIS and her first child was born it was in Franklin County. My Dad was the first born in 1903, at Mulberry or White Oak, Franklin County, Arkansas. Is this a connection to your Nichols family? Johnnie in CA
