Kim, Thanks - I have just never had time to work on the Nichols. Mama has Ambrose on my chart as father of Archibald. In just glancing at this, seems John Nichols and Mary Owen would have been 9 and 10 years old when their first child was born. If they didn't marry until she was 24, then seems some of the older children are illegits. I have just glanced at this, though, and may be reading it the wrong way. I see this Ambrose d. in Hall Co., Ga. while I was under the impression mine died in Anderson. I have read in some books about some heirs of Ambrose selling land in Anderson Co., but have never seen the real thing. This could have said from Hall Co., Ga. for all I know, but what I read did not. I have not looked yet to see if Ambrose has an estate in Anderson Co. I'm in a stew right now - my son from Oxford, NC & family of 5 are due in tomorrow night and will go back Thursday. I am having to have two Christmases this year. Their just turned 17 year old son has finished high school early so he could join the Marines and since this is all he has ever wanted to do, they signed for him. He is leaving the 12th of Jan for boot camp, so he wanted to tell come down and tell us all bye. He will be at Paris Island, SC but he can't see anyone for 3 months when he then graduates. I will go over this site either after they leave, or maybe even tonight, to read it more thoroughly and study it. Thanks for sending this. Mama is now 93, so she probably won't remember much about Ambrose. I can't even get her to pull her records out any more.
