Hello List, I have just found out from the 1850, Cheatham County, TN census my David Nichols and my William B. Nichols were born in MA. David born ca 1815 and William B. born ca 1820. Apparently, they left MA ca 1835 and headed West to Davidson County, TN, 1856 Cheatham was formed from Davidson. They reportedly settled at Sycamore Mills, were mechanics and assisted in the erection of the first grist mills at that place. There was also a Samuel Watson mentioned from Boston in the project. Thank you so very much for your help. Sharon State of Washington
