I
have been reviewing my information on Samuel Nicholson, my 8th
great-grandfather, and find that I need to do some more work on him.
So I will try to write more tomorrow.
Some
of what I have found is: Samuel was the son of Christopher and Hannah
(Redknap) Nicholson. He was born 12 March 1665, probably in
Massachusetts. His parents were married in Lynn, Massachusetts in
1662. From the listing of which Nicholson children were "imported"
into North Carolina, it appears they came between 1667 and 1670. The
family settled in Perquimans Precinct in the northeastern section of
the state.
I
discussed on my blog on 9 Jan 2017 about which Elizabeth Charles is
was that Samuel married in 1688.
Various
Nicholson genealogies give different lists of children for Samuel and
Elizabeth, numbering from six to eight. All seem to include my 7th
great-grandmother, Abigail Nicholson, born in 1689, who married
Nathaniel Albertson.
History
of Perquimans County by Ellen
Goode Winslow, published in 1974, notes that at the January court of
1696/97 the justices present included Samuel Nicholson. He was also
listed again in April 1697 and April 1701. So I believe he did have a
political presence there.
I
can blame the date today for not getting more written, since I lost
an hour, due to the beginning of daylight savings time.
