Hi, Jan, Thank you so much for your time but like I said it was a long shot. Most of my family was in and around Houston and Cheatham Cos., but seemed to follow the work available in the Crossing area. Thank you again, Jerry Perigo

Dorothy, I am not a Nichols descendent. I simply have some tie-ins to the line. 1. A Bobby Nichols married a Deborah Inez Brake, a contemporary. 2. James Nichols born 1893 married Catherine Winters (of my line of Winters) and they had a slew of Nichols children who all descend: William Anderson Nichols, Minurva Nichols, Elbemarl Nichols, Willis Crawford Nichols, James Jackson Nichols, Caleb Hamilton Nichols, Elizabeth Nichols, Cathereen Nichols, Mahala Frances Nichols. 3. Engle Nichols married Belle Milam in late 1800's. This ties in with Brake family. 4. Gilbert Nichols married Lucille Ruth Mcelroy, probably early this century. 5. James Nichols who was married to Mary Cunningham had a daughter Sarah Leanna who married James Fitzhugh born 1869. 6. Julius Caesar Nichols born abt 1710 VA. moved to Washington Co. TN. had daughter Susan who married Col. James Robertson. This ties into my husband's line. 7. Paralee Nichols had a son Alexander Cooper who married Augusta Cordelia Fitzhugh born 1868. So they just come in by marriages...but if you recognize anything please let me know. jan ----- Original Message ----- From: Grisham <dotcole@rnet.net> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 1999 9:12 PM Subject: Re: NICHOLS > Jan and all, What Nichols are you searching?

Hello Denise, My mother is Glendora Reed Avis and her sister was Essie Reed Merideth. I am researching their mother, Annie Brumly Reed, who was born in Humphreys County. Annie's parents were James Helton Brumly and Sarah Elizabeth Wills. I would be happy to share information with you if you are interested. I kind of had a hit when you mentioned the Morgan/Merideth pictures because Sarah Elizabeth Wills' brother, John T. Wills married a Margarette Lavina Morgan. I have them in the Humphreys County 1880 census as neighbors and then as a married couple in Obion County 1900. In the Humphreys County 1880 census Lavina is listed as the daughter of James and Anna E. Morgan, and among her brother and sisters is a little sister named Lula. I know it's kind of a reach but I know it might be some kind of connection, since Essie's husband Bert Merideth was also born in Humphreys County. I'll be happy to give you more details if you think there is something to this. Melinda Avis Pennington Denise Merideth Perry wrote: > > I have a very old postcard picture of four women.

Sorry to be so far behind. I didn't receive the corrupted attachment for which I am thankful....that probably would have been the last straw for this summer. Anyway, I'm sorry for all of you that did. Thanks for the warnings. Linda

Hi, Jan, I realize that I should be specific in my requests, but I'm playing a long shot. If possible could you check on marriages for my Perigo side. I don't have names but they seemed to travel all around Houston, Cheatham, and Stewart Cos., so maybe they even married in their spare time! Thanx, Jerry Perigo Kelso, Wa.
