Just the Facts Tuesday

•  My Great Grandfather James Ira Nichols was the son of Ezekiel H Nichols and Harriet Isabella Williams. He married Turissia Marcella King, daughter of Michael O King and Louisa Catherine Aldridge. 
• Second Great Grandfather Ezekiel was the son of John Nichols and Martha Ann Jones. He married Harriet Isabella Williams, daughter of James Williams and Clarissa Alice Richards.    
• Third Great Grandfather John Nichols married Martha Ann Jones, daughter of Ezekiel Jones and Elizabeth Prindle. He was born in 1814 in Bedford Virginia. His son, Ezekiel's death certificate said his father's name was Ezekiel, This is the only time he was not called John. My theory is that he may have been named John Ezekiel Nichols, or somebody made a mistake on that death certificate.
