6. | Nicholas^ Anthony was born in 1780 in Orange Co, North Carolina (son of Jacob^ Anthony, Sr (immigrant) and Mary Magdalena^ Shoffner, (immigrant)); died in 1858 in Bedford Co, Tennessee. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: By the late 1850s, in his late 70s, he was suffering from some form of dementia. In September 1858 a jury was appointed "to examine the lunacy of Nicholas Anthony".[7] In October the jury reported he "was a lunatic and unable to take care of his business," and the court appointed his son Laton J. Anthony as his guardian.[8] Nicholas, who would have been about 78 at this time, died within a year, as his will was proved at the October court 1859, with the widow Sally Anthony and Laton J. Anthony appointed as his administrators.[9] The will itself no longer exists, but later court records make it clear that he left one piece of property to his children and his home place property to Sally during her lifetime with reversion to his children at her death. Nicholas^ married Sarah^ "Sally" Nicholson about 1803 in Orange Co, North Carolina. Sarah^ was born in 1783 in Almance, Orange Co, North Carolina; died in 1870 in Shelbyville, Bedford Co, Tennessee.

7. | Sarah^ "Sally" Nicholson was born in 1783 in Almance, Orange Co, North Carolina; died in 1870 in Shelbyville, Bedford Co, Tennessee. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Possibly Sarah and Elizabeth are one and the same. However, since Archibald Nicholson left to grandson Young Anthony, named his daughters, indicates Elizabeth, mother of Young, was already deceased in 1821 and Sarah was a different wife. But Sarah was not a named mentioned in Archibald's will; so prob not a sister to Elizabeth; in fact, not sure were researchers even found her name to be Nicholson.
