Actually, I have been onto these Nic(h)ol(l)ites since early Internet days, having been alerted by a descendant of that Wilson Co., TN, SULLIVAN I mentioned. I've digested Kenneth Carroll's excellent book thoroughly, plus assorted references elsewhere. What interests me is that this Guilford Co. deed apparently was missed by Mr. Carroll, and it's the first positive evidence of one of "my" NICHOLS in NC. As you must know, Nicholites were almost undocumented during the sect's short existence, having regarded a desire for anything beyond rudimentary education to be the work of the Devil! --Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Andrew MCGHEE, Dorchester Co, MD, will dated: 2/25/1773, probated 3/17/1773 leaves land he purchased from Levin NICHOLLS and Isaac NICOLLS, Jr. to 2 nephews Samuel and John McGHEE, living in Guilford Co, NC (they were sons of John.) One of the witnesses to the Will was Isaac NICOLLS, Jr. I just read Betty Pace's JULIAN message to the list where the estate of John McGEE of Guilford (12/13/1773) is mentioned. Does anyone know anything about the McGhee/McGees? From the way this will reads, apparently most of them were still in Ireland.
