Solomon... I looked up Sylvania Nicholson in the Georgia Deaths Database (1918-1998) and here's what I found: Sylvania E. Nicholson date of death: 14 Jan 1984 age: 73 years county of residence: Union county of death: Union I could not find her in the 1930 census...she would have been around 19 or 20 years old, perhaps not yet married to Mr. Nicholson. Since the county of residence at her death was Union, it's quite possible she has descendants still living there. If she had sons, it may be possible to find them in the online White Pages http://www.theultimates.com/white/. Hope this helps!
