I am at a blank wall with my NICHOLSON line. Nancy Ellen NICHOLSON was b. March 12, 1861 to William b. ca. 1838 who was also a son of William NICHOLSON b. ca. 1808. Does anyone know the ancestry of these men? Nancy was my gr-grandmother and I know nothing about here except the above info plus she gave birth to 11 children and died with a few years afterward. The poor soul was worn out at only 38 years of age. Nancy Ellen NICHOLSON married THomas Ferman GREEN on Feb. 1, 1878 in Monroe Co., I think. I do not have documentation for that date. I know that part of their family were born in Athens Co. but that they moved back to or came to Monroe Co. at some point after 1897 and the birth of their last child. Nancy could have died in Athens Co., I do not know. I just have Bible info for the dates given above. Their children were Minnie, Ida, James Franklin (my line), George, Isaac aWilliam, Mary, Fannie, Emmett, Charlotte, Pearly, and Flora Mildred. Theomas Green married Mary Jane Mobberly in 1917 or 1918. No childrenb to this union. Thomas Franklin GREEN married Nora ORANGE in Monroe Co., on April 8, 1904. They lived all over the state and in TX. during their marriage. My mother, Lela V. GREEN PETTY, was their first born. Two sons, Harlan and Everett completed the list. I have ghe GREEN ancestry back to Ireland and will share with anyone who can identifybeing in this line. I surely would appreciate any help with the NICHOLSON and ORANGE lines. My PETTY lines are on the PERRY Co. website at < http: www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/perry.htm> Any leads on the NICHOLSON or ORANGElines appreciated. Thank you. Marjory A. Austen MAPPAusten@aol.com
