« on: Thursday 19 September 19 16:10 BST (UK) »Hi Maggie,
As to your Jonah confusion, I have Jonah b 1787 marrying Janet Dickson, son of Jonah N and Ann Carruthers. Jonah born 1795 married Margaret Dickson. Jonah 1795 was son of John N and Mary Ann Smith. Both Jonah (1787 & 1795) were grandsons pf Benjamin N and Janet Friend. I have these Nicholsons in my tree due to some distant connection and as I tend to add whole families in of spousal lines I went over board plus the two Dicksons sparked my interest. One connection is Ann N dau of Jonah & Janet married James Grierson son of William G and Jean Charteris whose other son Richard married Janet Dickson elder sister of my 2G Grandfather Jacob Dickson. See how far I go.
I hadn't a spouse for Christopher 1781, so now I have, thanks, any other info on that line would be good as I have connections to the Jardines as well, pm me if you like
Cheers
Mick
Hi Mike,
Thank you for getting back to me on this. The details I have correspond with yours in every respect except that I have Benjamin N. married to Janet Irving (not Friend) but to be honest I don't know where I have got that information from as it is research done many years ago. I also have the will of Jonah N., wife of Janet in which mention is made of James Grierson and Ann Nicholson.
I will PM you then it doesn't get confusing on here.
Maggie
Hello, I realize this is an old post so hopefully someone is still on here -- did you ever find out if Benjamin Nicholson (1722) was married to Janet FRIEND or Janet IRVING? I can't seem to find any records for this so wondering where either names are coming from. Thanks so much! You can reply here or email at nicholson.hlee@gmail.com
