Jane: A good place to look would be Don Nickell's web site: http://nickell.tierranet.com/ Don probably has as much information about the Nickell line as anyone I know. I have a John B. Nickell, b. 1819, married Elizabeth "Betsy" Baker. This from some information Don shared with me a few years ago. Nothing on her parents, however.

Naaman, Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I have corresponded with Don quite a bit and am familiar with his site and he does have some good information. Unfortunately, he doesn't have anything on Elizabeth Bettie Nickell's mother.
