Elizabeth Nicholson

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Nicholson-275

Elizabeth Nicholson was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Nicholson and was born 15 January 1697 in Perquimans, North Carolina[1].

A marriage intention between John Anderson and Elizabeth was recorded 6 May 1719[2] and the marriage is recorded 28 May 1719.[3]. (It should be noted that this marriage intention is in some sources incorrectly transcribed as 1 Apr 1719 but that date is an error.) There is no complete list of their children found to date.

No death record for John Anderson has been found and it has been seen as being "before 1757" in an unknown location to as late as 1779 in Virginia (with no documentation). In the Land Records below it should be noted that in 1746 a John Anderson is referenced as deceased (no. 56). However he is referenced in the will of his mother-in-law probated in January 1748[1]. Certainly in 1751 his wife Elizabeth gave 150 acres each to two sons probably indicating John had already died which would place his death in Perquimans[4]. It should be noted that the Perquimans Monthly Meeting minutes are not complete and thus his death record may simply be missing.
