Nicholas' wife, Martha Janney, was a Quaker, but Nicholas was not. They were married 7 Nov 1732 by a civil court in NJ. Martha was disowned by the Quakers, but reinstated after her acknowledgment was accepted. They moved to Fairfax, VA, in 1747
I have found no record of Nicholas' birth, or who his parents were. (He was reportedly born in Bucks County, PA.) There has been a suggestion that he was a member of a German family named Pickle (Pickel, Bickel, etc.). See my message #12 in the Pickle forum.
