Prisilla Nichols

Notes:

The article "A Line of Descent from David Nichols of Coventry" by Ruth Nichols Reynolds says that a Prisilla Nichols was admitted to Maple Root Church membership on 1782, along with Jonathan & Prisilla. She also says this Prisilla married a Philip Johnson. Now, if this is not a clerical error, then this younger Prisilla is likely the daughter of Jonathan & Prisilla. However, is it possible that two different Prisilla Nicholses married two different Philip Johnsons? Certainly -- but I am reluctant to put this forth as fact without examining the evidence. The writer, Ruth Reynolds, may have mixed up the dates.

But, in the interest of clues, I am including the information here -- that this younger Prisilla (assuming she actually existed) may have married a Philip Johnson,

Notes:

I have estimated the birth years of Jonathan's children.

It is thought that this couple were the parents of the David Nichols who married Mary, and had seven children, including our Priscilla who married Philip Johnson.

Jonathan & Prisilla were admitted as members of Maple Root Church in 1782. Also admitted to the membership in 1782 were Eunice, Jonathan (husband & wife), Prisilla, & Sarah Nichols. I am making an assumption that Prisilla & Sarah were daughters of Jonathan & Prisilla.

Our ancestor Priscilla, who married Philip Johnson, was not born until 1785.
