Glenda: Your post included some familiar surnames, but I do not know if there is a connection to this Nicholas family, which I researched as part of the Powell genealogy: [John ?] Nicholas, b. Wales, ca. 1775, d. in Welshbush, near Utica, N.Y. m. Sarah Morris, b. ca. 1781, Wales, d. Sept. 4, 1850, Springboro, Crawford Co., Pa. She m. (2) in N.Y., 1815, as his 2nd wife, Watkin Powell, b. ca. 1773, Brecknockshire, Wales, d. Sept. 6, 1850, Springboro, Pa. Three Nicholas children: Dr. John Nicholas, b. ca. 1805, N.Y., d. July 14, 1872, Indianapolis, Ind., m. Oct. 30, 1833, Rachel Gardiner, b. ca. 1813, Pa., d. May 20, 1879, San Francisco, Calif. Ann Nicholas, b. ca. 1806, N.Y., d. Aug. 7, 1875, prob. Erie Co., Pa., m. Mar. 30, 1833, Abner H. Gould, b. Apr. 11, 1806, d. May 9, 1889, Springfield, Erie Co., Pa. Margaret Nicholas, b. ca. 1807, N.Y., d. Sept. 22, 1895, prob. Springfield, Erie Co., Pa., m. Nathan Gould, b. Dec. 1818, N.Y., d. 1879, prob. Springfield, Erie Co. We are also trying to see if Sarah (Morris) Nicholas Powell was related to David Morris, b. Aug. 1, 1774, Pembrokeshire, Wales, settled in Welshbush, N.Y., in 1800, moved to Crawford Co., Pa., in 1815, where he died Feb. 29, 1856. His wife was Phebe Lewis, and their son, Levi Lewis Morris, 1800-1844, married my g-g-g-grandfather's sister, Nancy McKnight. Are these Welsh Morrises or Nicholases yours?
