Thomas Nichols
b.Abt 1640
d.Aft 13 May 1704
Facts and Events
Thomas Nichols of Amesbury had six children recorded there from 1664-1678 with a wife Mary. It is uncertain if he was identical to the man in Boston who married Mary Moulton or the man in Charlestown and Maulden who had two previous children recorded. That could be a completely different person or persons.
