This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Nicholson, Nichols, Nicholls, Nicholas, Nickholson, etc. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QBC.2ACI/2260 Message Board Post: For everyone who is claiming Thomas Nicholson who patent 1,000 acres in Spotsylvania County, Virginia in 1732~~~~ >From all the documents I have pulled from Court Houses, etc. it appears that Thomas Nicholson is NOT ours. It appears from the records that Thomas Nicholson did NOT have a son or brother named William Nicholson. Some of the surnames that have been connected to Thomas & Mary Nicholson are SARGENT, CORBIN, and many other surnames. I have documentation that this family were residents of England. I believe that William Nicholson who imported into Orange, Virginia could be our connection. I can be contacted directly at rootsnancy@earthlink.net Nancy Costello, Nicholson Reunion Planner Next Nicholson Reunion will be held in May 2003 in Orange, Virginia. (dates will be upcoming)
