Notes

From < “ Descendants of the Great Dismal” > Posted on September 23, 2017 By Nikki Bass

John Nichols, who was often referred to as Major—an indication that he was a member of a standing militia in the area—married Judith Bowers Spivey (the widow of Matthew Spivey) later in life and it is possible that he had a previous marriage (through which he fathered Sarah Nichols). Prior to marrying Judith, John also appears to have fathered two illegitimate children, John and Sarah, by his slave Jean Lovina. These details can only be inferred (not verified) through the contents of his will (which proved 17 May 1697).

Managers of Jean Nichols aka Lovina,

I am contacting you about this profile: https://www.geni.com/people/Jean-Nichols-aka-Lovina/600000000408920.. There are many errors contained in this profile. First of all this information from Bright is absolutely false and has been proven to be so. Bright attempted to change the genealogy of the Bass family and the Nansemond in an attempt to remove them from any relationship of any black. Keziah Elizabeth the Nansemond who married John Bass in 1638 is my ninth great grandmother and all members of the Nansemond tribe descend from her through her son William. The information posted on this profile is absolutely awful and the whole thing should be removed and started over. Sincerely, Bob Barris

Genealogy Forum Post: “John Basso married ye dafter of ye of ye King of ye nansemond nation, by name, Elizabeth, In holy baptism and In holy matrimony ye it day of August In ye year of our Blessed Lord; 1638 Dyed 1699 AD.” Note that there is no mention of the Keziah or Tucker name. There has been some circulation of a certificate signed by a clerk of court stating that Elizabeth was a Tucker and daughter of Robin the Elder, a Nansemond Chief or head man. There is an explanation how this erroneous statement came about. Robin the Elder had another name.... He is also written as Robin TUCKER. He was the brother to Joan TUCKER, wife of Symon LOVINA. As for John Bass marrying Elizabeth Tucker, it is true, there was a John Bass who married an Elizabeth Tucker, however, saying this, the story of John BASS marrying Elizabeth TUCKER IS correct, but researchers have just picked the WRONG John Bass. it SHOULD have been John BASS born 1723, son of William Bass and Sarah LOVINA. That then makes him married to Elizabeth (TUCKER), his great Uncle’s daughter, being a second cousin....
