Ancestor Birthday – December 22 - Nathan Nicholson - 1776-1824


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.
