All of Benjamin's descendants went to Sabine Co., Texas near the town of
Milam.
Since I descend from Benjamin Nichols, I have more details on the residences
of
Benjamin's descendants in Texas. Several families lived in Foard Co. in the
period
1909-1916. Some lived in Nolan and Fisher Cos. 1909-1923 and some remained
in Sabine Co. Other Texas residences in the period 1920-1930 include
Longview,
Beeville, Weatherford and Austin.
Robert Lee Nichols, my grandfather, was born 1870 in Crawford Co., Georgia. He
made the trip to Texas when he was two years old. I think everyone in this
group
possibly went to Smith Co. before going to Sabine Co. I speculate that this
group
went to Sabine Co. because Mary Catherine McCook had some cousins from
Georgia that had been in Sabine Co. for a number of years.
Many members of the Nichols families I have presented in these six articles
came
to Texas from Georgia. Descendants of James Nichols (born about 1765) hold
annual reunions, rotating between Georgia, Florida and Texas. The last
reunion in
Texas was in Tyler in July 1996. The next Nichols reunion is scheduled to be
in
July 1999; once again it will be held in Tyler, Texas.
This summarizes my current knowledge of our Nichols family, with special
emphasis on Smith County, Texas. I would be pleased to provide any additional
information I have.
John Nichols. San Antonio, Texas.
