The family of Jacob Beckelhimer...
Guess who's back? or dont guess. Its me. Wanted to update my search results on the family tree.
*First of all, some of my previous theories were wrong. but you must always take research with a grain of salt or something like that.
1. john nichols born 1814 in Bedford county, Va. is the son of Elisha Nichols and his second wife, Nancy Payne. Elisha may have had a kid with his first wife. idk. john may have been named Ezekiel. at least one source says his name was Ezekiel and that may be why he named a son Ezekiel. John married Martha Ann Jones who was the daughter of Ezekiel Samuel Jones, so the son may have been named after his grandpa or maybe his father, if John was named ezekiel as well.
2. Olivia King was the daughter of John King jr. and Sarah Beckelheimer and she had a sister named Charlotte. Their mother and father died while they were young apparently and they went to live with their grandfather. Olivia or Olive married Leroy G Bartlett.
3. The Beckelheimers came from Germany. sometimes called Picklesimers or Becklehymers or other forms of the name. My German roots can be a little confusing.
4. i have been busy with other projects and have not had much time for blogging lately, but there you go.

the unknown parents of John Ezekiel Nichols are definitely related to Lt. John Nichols and his grandfather Simon Nicholls by DNA , but who are they?
at this point it looks like Lt. John's son, Elisha Nichols may be the father, but there is no sources to prove that.
at first, I thought Johns father was Archibald but there is no connection to him at all. just a nagging hunch. there is a lot of documentation to show that arch never had a son named john, but maybe he was.
you would think that he would have named a son after his father, but I cannot find a single one.
Archibald may have married Polly Updike if his first wife died before 1819, but it is unclear if that was the case. the Updike family says that she married a John Nichols, but the marriage records say Archibald. maybe she married a John Archibald Nichols, that's what I call him any way.
also, it seems like John and Polly moved to WV and may have had a son named john m. Nichols who married Sarah Adeline Richardson. well if arch married Polly in 19 after the death of Judith. assuming she died by then. it is unlikely he would not have taken his children with him.
a lot of Qs and not enough As. but it looks at this point like the father of my John Ezekiel Nichols is probably Elisha. Elisha had children before 1814 so he may be the father of john e... I hope. all these wild goose chase are annoying.
I know for sure that John e and John m Nichols are two different people as they were in different states in the same census, but as I don't know for sure if arch married Polly, I can't say for sure that he is not the father of john m Nichols. I don't think he married Polly tho, because she may have married a John and arch had a brother named john so it is unlikely.
another point to bring up is although arch apparently moved to WV, Elisha stayed in Bedford county, which makes him more likely to be John Es father. as John E was in Franklin county in 1860 with his family.
and one more point, it seems that a man named Elisha just might have a son named john Ezekiel. just a thought. and any way most of his brothers had Johns except apparently Archibald.
finally found the parents of Elizabeth Prindle Jones thanks to family search.
elizabeth prindle married Ezekiel Jones. we knew that long ago. but now her parents have been found and outed at family search. yay.
elizabeth is the daughter of William Prindle and Barbara Cooksey, daughter of shadrach Cooksey. sources prove that Barbara Cooksey and not Margaret Holden is the mother of Elizabeth. my previous Intel was faulty, and althought I spent some time on the Holden line, it was just a wild goose chase. there was no documents to connect Margaret Holden to Elizabeth Prindle. although Margaret may have married a William Prindle, she apparently didn't marry Elizabeth's father.

still no luck finding a connection between lt. john nichols b. 1720 MD - lt. john - and john ezekiel nichols b. 1814 bedford, va.
i thought at first that maybe arch was the father, but there are no sources to back that up. john jr. had a son named john James Nichols but he moved to tenn. jesse had a son named john field nichols but he also was in tenn. it seems the only one of lt. john's sons that may be the father is elisha nichols and there is almost no sources for him either. it seems that elisha married the daughter of his uncle flayl jr., but very little is known beyond that. he had a son named elisha christopher and a daughter, but there are no connections to john 1814. elisha could be the father of john but who knows? maybe. maybe not. how can someone live his whole life and never be recorded in anything.
the one thing for sure about john ezekiel nichols is that he is not john m nichols who married sarah richardson. those two johns are in different states in 1860 with children. where was john e between 1814 and 1860??? inquiring minds want to know....
my family mystery. my brick wall is still unbroken. my invisible ancestor and his unknown parents. although DNA says for sure that my bloodline is the same as Lt. John Nichols, it's still unclear how we connect.
pretty sure at this point that Elisha may be the missing link in this inquiry, but still no sources.(((
I believe my 4th GG Rosamond Mallory is the daughter of Roger Mallory and Sarah Smith and I'll tell you why... Rosa married Stephen Bourne and his sister Elizabeth Bourne married George H Mallory. Usually when two siblings marry people with the same surnames they are related. So I think Rosamond Mallory is probably George's sister... or at least a relative of his. If Rosa is the sister of George then her parents are the same as his. Roger Mallory iv and Sarah Smith. Prove me wrong.... you can't? neither can I. As Roger Mallory's family is definitely related, it is highly likely that Rosa is the daughter of Roger Mallory and Sarah Smith so although I cannot confirm these findings, I cannot deny them either.
Lord Malet of Graville, Norman Baron and Sheriff of York is my 27th great grandfather through Col. John Washington of Jamestown. He was also an ancestor of Lord William Malet, Magna Carta Baron. He fought in the Battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror.
