About Mary Nichols

Mary, the wife of Thomas Nichols, was born in England about 1680. The time of their marriage is unknown, but they obtained a certificate for themselves and children from a meeting at Rugby, Staffordshire, dated Seventh month, 21st, 1711. This certificate was accepted by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, Sixth month, 9th, 1712. These Friends did not tarry long in the city but removed with their family first to Concord in 1714 and from thence to within the limits of Newark Monthly Meeting, about the close of 1715, the certificate from Concord bearing date First month, 12th, 1716, being received at Newark for them the following month.

Although no mention is made on the minutes of the monthly meeting of Newark of the fact, yet it appears that Mary stood in the station of an acknowledged minister. At least she did a few years afterward, and no notice of her recommendation can be found. She was one of the most useful members of that monthly meeting, abundantly employed in the discipline and in religious visits to the families of Friends. Her services in the ministry of the Gospel were acceptable to the church, and she long laboured in unity of the one spirit and died in near fellowship with the faithful in Jesus Christ. Her death took place third month, 14th, 1770, being very aged probably about 90 years old.
