The Family of Samuel Nicholson
There were two Nicholson families living in Turtle Creek,
Warren Co., OH in the early 1800s. One
is the family of Thomas Nicholson whose family is listed in the 1820 census of
Turtle Creek, Warren Co., OH. The other
is the family of William Nicholson who died in 1814. I have pieced William's family together from a number of
records, including Samuel’s marriage record.
It is unknown if the two families were related.
Thomas Nicholson was born before 1776[1] possibly
in England [2], and married Mercy Curtis[3], who was
born between 1776 and 1780,[4]
possibly in New Jersey or Virginia [5]. Their children were[6]:
1) Mary, supposedly born about 1794 in PA,[7] but
more likely about 1801 as her father consented to her marriage to Daniel Clark[8] on
14 Mar 1818, suggesting she was underage.
2) William, born about 1796.
He married, probably 2nd, Eliza Ann Furguson on 13 Jul 1832.[9]
7) Thomas, born about 1812.[17]
A Joseph Nicholson was born about 1819, being 21 when he
married Linney Kiphart[18]
on 26 Dec 1840. Given his late birth he
is probably a son of William Nicholson.
William, son of Thomas, was a witness to the signature of
Thomas Nicholson who gave permission for his daughter, Mary, to marry Daniel
Clark in 1818. William would have been
at least 16 to be a witness, but was also likely Thomas’ oldest son. I have not been able to locate William, son
of Thomas, in any census, and have not been able to confirm any of my
assumptions about him. He died after 1834.[19]
Census records show some of William’s children may have been
living with Thomas, the only Nicholson family in the Warren , OH

Possible residents were:

Robert, born about 1805
William, born about 1794
Thomas born before 1776
Ann born in 1809
Jane born about 1807
Mercy born after 1775
Mary was married before the census, so in not listed. I am assuming that William’s wife was
deceased by the time of the census.
Martha Nicholson is the only Nicholson listed in the 1830

Martha, presumably Mercy.
She was the Mary/Marcy Nicholson living next to Robert
Nicholson in 1840[20]
and possibly with David Halloway in 1850.[21]
William Nicholson, father of Samuel, born about 1774,
possibly in NJ,[22] but
more likely in North Carolina .[23] He moved to OH before 1812 when he served in
the War of 1812,[24]
possibly dying in battle. His estate was
probated in Warren

Given the naming of one of their sons as Recompense,
Susannah is probably the daughter of Recompence and Catherine Stansberry of Rahway,
Essex Co., NJ.[33] They moved to Clinton Co., OH[34]
(neighboring county to Warren Co., OH) where at least 5 of their children were
married in the 1820s.[35] They had a daughter named Susannah born 27
Dec 1813 in Essex , NJ
In the 1880 Census[37],
both Lydia and Samuel list
both their parents as being born in North
Carolina .
Susanna and her parents are all listed as being born in NJ.
