"Ensign William Nickerson, second son of William and Mercy (Williams) Nickerson, born about 1675, married first Deliverance, probably daughter of Caleb Lumbert, Sen., of Monomoit.

By deed dated March 25, 1697, he purchased of John Quason a lot of land at Cotchpinicut, on which he probably lived.'"' His father, by deed dated October 13, 1702, conveyed to him the land at Monomesset Neck." He was plaintiff for the "proprietors" in the dispute over the division of the Common lands. He is styled Ensign as early as 1706, He was selectman two years and for many years carried on the business of tanning hides. There was a demand for leather in those days not only for shoes but for making the leathern trousers which nearly everyone wore at his work. About 1740 he bought of the heirs of his brother Nathaniel a part of the real estate of the latter. He took pew ground in the church in 1742. He died between October 19, 1742, date of the codicil to his will, and November 15, 1742, date of its probate. His wife Anna survived him and married August 25, 1747, Benjamin Bearse, Sen., of Barnstable, who died the following year. He gave the tan house and tanning business to his sons Caleb, Nathaniel and Eldad."[1]
