'... Richard, son of Thomas and Margaret (Rudd) Nixson ... is not, however, the Richard Nixson who married Elizabeth Tesmond on 29 April 1571 in the church of St. John Timberhill, as stated in the [Nickerson Family Association] account. That Richard was a grocer who was made a freeman of Norwich in 1576 [citing John L'Estrange, Calendar of the Freemen of Norwich from 1307 to 1603, ed. Walter Rye (London, 1888), 102].'
