Nathan Nicholson was my 4th
gt-grandfather. He was the son of Nicholas and Sarah (White)
Nicholson, born in Perquimans County North Carolina on 22 Dec 1776.
Nathan had 8 siblings, 6 older and 2 younger. He was one of my Quaker
ancestors.
He married Peninah Parker on 16
May 1799 at Suttons Creek Meeting House. I enjoy the fact that often
the Quaker church records show the names of the witnesses, or those
who were present at the marriage. Many times relatives to the bride
or groom can be recognized.
Of course you have to try to
read the handwriting of the church clerk to be able to recognize
those relative's names.
Nathan and Peninah had 8
children: John, Sarah, Phariby (my 3rd gt-grandmother),
Tempa, Esther, Mary, George, and Nathan Parker.
Nathan
Parker, their youngest son, was probably only 7 years old when his
father died. The probate papers show the personal property sold on 20
Feb 1824.
