Birth 1880 in Missouri, United States (source 1880 Census: Texas, Dent Co., MO; listed as 2 months old)
Death: he is not listed in the 1900 Census w/Samuel or Sarah; believed to have died or moved out of the home before this time. A lot of people have him listed as dying the same day as John Henry (his brother) — this is inaccurate. John Henry died on 14 Feb 1952 and that has been verified.

Birth 1882
Death

John Henry Nickles married Josephine “Josie” Luster (this is my great great grandfather; all dates have been confirmed via family, the 1900 Census for Buckeye, Shannon Co., MO and 1920 Census Birth 1920 Census St. Louis Ward 7. It is important to note that John Henry went missing for several years. We do not know where he went during his absence, but only that he showed up years later with no explanation. There is a story behind it that if you’re interested in knowing, please contact me directly. I will eventually add a page for him, specifically, that will tell the story for historical purposes.)
Birth 18 Nov 1884 in Missouri, United States
Death 14 Feb 1952 in Missouri, United States

    Hi!

    I just found your website. Do you know what happened to Brian Nickels? His site is no longer up and the domain is for sale.

    Also, have you done a DNA test?

    Yep, I’m researching my paternal line. ;}

    Sincerely,
    Donna

      I truly wish I knew! I’ve tried emailing him at the last email address that I had on him, but have yet to receive a response.

      I have submitted my DNA as well as my Grandfather (who is a NickLEs) to Ancestry.com 🙂

    Want info on Charles E. Nichels, Nickels, Nichols married to Sarah R. Womack in Weatherford, Texas 1876, Parker, Co. I can’t find either one’s death. Found them in 1880 Tx census. I believe he was born in Maine.
    My grandmother Flora Ella Nichols born in Fort Worth May 24,1883 said her parents were German and had been killed. I thought Sarah and Charles Nichols had adopted her however Womack shows up in my DNA. Appreciate any help.
