General Notes: Husband - Hugh Nichol

---

He was born in Robinson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Nichol homestead on which he was born later became a part of Stowe township. He inherited a share of the home farm and in 1828 built a log house thereon, which was his home until death. He was five feet ten and a half inches in height, weighed one hundred and ninety pounds, and like his family enjoyed a friendly fight or test of strength and endurance. When sixteen years of age he thrashed the bully of Pittsburgh and was generally regarded as a good man to let alone in a fight. He was captain of Robinson township militia, and when the Civil War broke out tried to enlist, but was rejected on account of age. He accepted the recruiting officer's ultimatum, but in a few days, with closely cropped hair and clean shaven face, again presented himself and was accepted as being under forty years. He never got to the front, however, being stricken with a fever in Harrisburg and dying there after a short illness. He is buried in the cemetery of Union United Presbyterian Church.

Beside those listed, there were several other children who died in infancy and youth.
