Note on identity other people mentioned in will: Swithin Nichols, Jacob Nichols, and Susanna Nichols wife of James Hatcher Jr, are the children of Jacob Nichols Sen and Tacy West. Jacob Nichols Sen. is the son of John Nichols and Charity Chandler, and a 1st cousin to Catharine NICHOLS Hatcher. William Gibson is a nephew to James Hatcher Sen, son of Mary HATCHER and James Gibson. Joshua Pancoast is a nephew to Catherine NICHOLS Hatcher, son of her sister Ruth NICHOLS and John Pancoast. Thomas S. Nichols could have several identities. He is most likely the grandson of Catharine's brother William Nichols and Sarah Spencer, he had two of them; the son of son Samuel had a middle name of "Janney" and so this Thomas S. is probably the son of Isaac Nichols and Lydia WALTERS. Lydia WALTERS is the daughter to Catharine NICHOLS 1st cousin Diana NICHOLS and George Walters. This Thomas Nichols (30 mar 1802 - 14 Jul 1864) married Emily HOLMES 19 Oct 1826. William Spencer is the son of Nathan Spencer and Hannah LOOFBORROW, and a nephew to the Sarah SPENCER who is the sister-in-law to Catherine NICHOLS Hatcher. Abner Gregg is the son of John Gregg and Ruth SMITH, first a widow of Samuel Sherwood. Abner Gregg's first wife was Sarah SMITH, daughter of William Smith and Ann WILLIAMSON, and the mother of all his children. David Smith ??? Sarah SMITH above had no brother named David and her siblings have gone to Belmont Co OH. A David Smith became an elder of the Goose Creek Friends Church in 1823, and is probably this person, just a friend of the family, and not a relative. Richard Tavenner is the son of George Tavenner & Tabitha ROACH. David Young is the son of John Young and Lois WIATT, and grandson to Hercules Young Sarah PHILLIPS. Samuel Nichols, brother to Catherine, has his will in Alexandria Co VA Will BK 3, p266 and in Loudoun Co VA Will Bk P, p350, 1825.
