Posted on: Benton Co. Mo Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Benton/985 Surname: RHODA NICHELSON SHORT ------------------------- HI!! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME LOOKING AT THIS SITE, AND I JUST FOUND YOUR MESSAGE. I THINK I CAN HELP YOU ALITTLE ON YOUR LINES YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH A LADY BY THE NAME OF GLADYS INGRAM? SHE WROTE A BOOK ON THE NICHELSON FAMILY ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST STARTED WORKING ON THE FAMILY TREE AND LUCKILY I WAS PUT IN TOUCH WITH THIS LADY AND LATER GOT TO MEET HER. SHE WAS A TEACHER AND LIVED IN STILLWATER, OKLA. AND I IMAGINE THEY PROBABLY HAVE A COPY OF THIS BOOK. I ALSO HAVE THIS BOOK AND CAN LOOK UP WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP YOU. I DID FIND WHERE RHODA NICHELSON WAS BORN ABT. 1860 IN BENTON CO. SHE WAS THE LAST OF ROBERT AND MARGARET NICHELSON'S CHILDREN. THEY HAD SIX CHILDREN, ELIZABETH JANE, THOMAS JEFFERSON, MARGARET REBECCA, RUTH E.,HANNAH ROSE AND RHODA. (MY HUSBAND'S SIDE COMES IN HERE UNDER MARGARET REBECCA "BECKY" WHO MARRIED WILLIAM M. ENGLAND). THERE ARE NO DATES THAY I CAN FIND RIGHT NOW BUT IT SAYS THAT RHODA NICHELSON MARRIED NEWT SHORT AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE ORIUS, DARIUS, NETTIE, DENNIS, INES, ZENAS. WELL HOPE THIS HAS BEEN OF SOME HELP TO YOU. I DO HAVE ALOT MORE INFO. ON THE NICHELSON AND CRANE AND CLUTTER LINES THAT GO BACK FROM ROBERT NICHELSON (RHODA'S FATHER AND MOTHER) MARGARET CRANE NICHELSON. I WILL BE LOOKING FROWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
