Subject: [PLY/MA] Rizpah NICHOLS to Moses NICHOLS, 1833, Plymouth Deed
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 01:26:59 EDT

Hello,

Here is another Plymouth Deed from Rizpah NICHOLS to her husband, Moses
NICHOLS, in 1833. Moses' first wife was Susannah READ (her 1st husband was
Daniel GRINNELL). I am descended from Moses' first wife (Susannah). I typed
this up as it is interesting information from Moses.

Moses NICHOLS, Jr. was born in Dighton, MA, son of Moses NICHOLS, Sr. &
Abigail HATHAWAY.

Best, Betty, Middleboro, MA
PS/I can't remember what Rizpah's maiden name was. Anyone?
