On 17 October 1851 John (1802-6 May 1884) and Sarah B. (1806-17 April 1880) Nichols sold 107 acres in the Waterford, Virginia
area to William H. Moore (fl. 1810-1859). William married Laura Moore (fl. 1812-1859) and they had at least two children.
On 29 August 1853 William sold his land to Joseph Gibson (1797-after 1860), transferring the deed on 7 April 1859.
Little is known about John or Sarah Nichols. Tax information indicates they lived in Virginia their entire lives, had several
children, and were farmers.
