Hello..... I think Eldorado Sylvania Nicholson was the child of Andrew (b. abt 1872) & "Randy" Nicholson. I think there was also a sibling named Canister? born abt 1916. Andrew Nicholson was the son of David Nicholson (1833-aft 1910) and Mary Hooper (1833 - aft 1910). Mary Hooper was the daughter of Andrew & Dicy Hooper and the granddaughter of Absalom Hooper Sr. & Sarah Salers. David Nicholson was the son of Alfred Nicholson (1799 - aft 1880) and Mary Chastain (1797-1865). Alfred Nicholson was the son of John Nicholson (1763-1858) and Susan Brown. Mary Chastain was the dau of Edward Brigand Chastain & Hannah Brown.
