Sheila: I have some data on Duncan Nicholson. He married my grandmother's half sister, Margaret(te) Ruhl (b abt 1862). They had three children: John (b ?) He married Leora ? Harriet "Hattie" b 2/18/1887, d 8/10/1985 Orange Couty, CA, She married Walter Carsten(s) and had a daughter named Mildred. Mildred first married George Dodge and had a daughter named Patricia "Patsy". She subsequently married a man named Hall and had a daughter named Suzy. Edith b 2/1/1891 d 5/6/1991 Los Angeles. She married William R. "Will" Thomas. They had a son named Raymond who now lives in Phoenix. I understand that Margrette died either in childbirth or shortly after the birth of Edith. Ducan later committed suicide by shooting himself in front of Edith when she was about six (abt 1897). My grandmother (then about 16) raised the children. I don't remember ever meeting John but I do remember his wife Leora as well as Edith and Hattie. Bob Peck California
