Profiles Mentioned:

Some accounts state that Samuel was the white son of a slaveholder named Gillespie, who changed his (Samuel's) name to Nichols after marrying a Black woman. However, this seems to not be consistent with the numerous records (e.g., census and death records) that list him being Black. I would be interested in knowing of any other information regarding Samuel and his origins.
