Nathaniel Nichols m. (2) 26 Oct 1747 [sic] Mrs. Mercy (Pratt) Orcutt, widow of Samuel Orcutt, d/o Aaron and Sarah Pratt.
[Note the marriage date is off by ten years. This source says that Nathaniel wrote his will 7 Jul 1757, reserving land "where I buried my wife for a burying-place for my family". No further details of the will are given. Normally, a will would be written after major life changes like getting remarried, leading one to suspect the 1747 date is correct. On the other hand, it seems strange that the most notable aspect of his will is about his previous wife, suggesting he had not yet remarried. The full will may be needed to decide which date the will truly favors.]
