NICHOLS, Lydia and James Brown, May 16, 1765.
↑ See here. The wife of James Brown is named as a granddaughter of Ebenezer Nichols. Ebenezer's only son died before marrying, and was too young to parent a daughter who married in 1765, so it appears that either one of the daughters m. a Mr. Nichols and died leaving only one daughter, or else she was illegitimate. One might guess that Ebenezer's daughter Lydia would be the most likely mother of the wife of James Brown, though Rebecca would also be old enough to parent a child who married in 1765.
