While looking for my Texas cousins, this article popped up. Posted hoping it will be useful to another Lister. For the full article, see http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/NN/fni11.html NICHOLS, JAMES WILSON (1820-1891). James Nichols, Indian scout, was born on December 27, 1820, in Franklin County, Tennessee, the son of George Washington and Mary Ann (Walker) Nichols. At age twelve he began a journal that was eventually published as a book of memoirs, Now You Hear My Horn (1968). This account vividly describes his life, beginning with his travels to Texas. The Nichols and Johnson Day families traveled the Tennessee, the Mississippi, and the Red Rivers to Natchitoches, Louisiana, and from there they traveled overland to Guadalupe-Gonzales counties, Texas. Nichols's journal says the party crossed the Sabine River into Texas on December 16, 1836......Nichols married Mary Ann Daniell, daughter of Rev. George Daniell of Gonzales County. He and his wife had twelve children. He died in Kerrville on October 8, 1891.

Robert, That is Rev. George Washington DANIELL (1801-AFT 1839) who was, they say, the son of a George DANIELL (1783-1855) and Ellen BARBER of Smith County, TX. This second 1783 George is supposedly the son of William DANIELL, Sr. and his first wife, of Bogart, Oconee County, GA, but I do wonder about this DANIELL connection. They say, that Rev. George Washington DANIELL may have married a PEARSON girl and any PEARSON connection, to me, makes me think he may have been a O'DANIELL and not a DANIELL, since we know the O'DANIELS of Hancock County, GA also spelled their name, DANIELL. We both also know this DANIELL family of Oconee County, GA has on more than one occasion claimed some of your O'DANIEL bunch and this just may be another instances of that...... . This is what I have on this Rev. George Washington DANILLL from another researcher:. <<< The names of their six known children all were born BET 1823-1838: 3 Fnu DANIELL, Mary Ann DANIELL, Aaron DANIELL and George Frank DANIEL.... 1802 GA George Daniell birth 1821 Monroe Co., MS.... married 1825 MONROE, MS birth of 2nd child, dau. born (Mary Ann Daniell) 1828 HARDEMAN CO, TN 3rd child, dau. born 1834 AR> 5th child, son born Aaron... 1838 TX 6th child, son born George Frank Daniell 1839 Gonzales Co., TX TAX ROLLS So, they were in TX by 1838. His wife's name was Sylvania Pearson. (some say Pierce) Any information on this family, their ancestors or descendents would be appreciated. Billie bbennett@sat.net >>> John R.
