  Notes	posted to Ancestry.com Nichols Cemetery geenicholsadded this on 16 Jul 2011 The question is - who was the father of Sam & Jim Nichols? They could have been the sons Samuel Frances Nichols 1807 and James Nichols 1811 who belonged to William & Dorcas Nichols, except we know that William & Dorcas were both still alive on the 1850 census of Montgomery County, Arkansas. The story says that the "father" of Sam & Jim died circa 1845 and was the first one buried there. Perhaps the 1845 date is incorrect? I was told that William and Dorca were buried in Shelbyville, Ill., but I find no proof of that either. That person who posted Illinois as their burial spot also indicates a death date of 1845 - again - we know they were both alive in 1850. It's also strange that they had two sons both named Samuel. The 1850 census shows them living near their son Samuel Joseph Nichols who is buried at Mt. Pisgah. Something to think about??? http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/5816086/person/-1389719855/media/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid%7cpgNum
