I saw your Mammie's name. My Braxton named his daughter by his second marriage Mammie (her spelling, Mamye). Lake Co. was taken from Obion Co. in 1870 and I can not find any Nichols there. Braxton is my grandfather. He died when my dad was 3 yrs. old, so we have no idea who Braxton's parents, brothers or sisters were. Braxton Bragg Nichols Born: Dec. 10, 1872 Place: Lake County, possibly Tiptonville Married: Lillian Jordan Date: May 6, 1896 Place: Lake County, TN. Children: Rose Etta and a son, not sure of his name maybe Daniel, died at 3 yrs. old Divorced in Lake County, after the death of son 2nd wife: Agnes Alyfare Toland Married:March 29,1909 Place: Blytheville, AR. Lived in Burdette, AR. At the time of his death Died: Dec. 8, 1930 There is a possibility that Braxton had sisters, Maggie and Julie, but this is iffy. Any info would be appreciated.
