6. SIMION (SIMEON) NICHOLS ABT 1806 - ?
(Son of Conrad Nichols)

Simeon, Simion, or Simon Nichols was born in South Carolina, likely Lauren County, about 1806. As it is with his brother Robert very little information has been found. Again the exception is the research of Thomas Heflin Compton and Joe Russell Nichols.
Listed in the 1830 Census of Jones County Georgia there is a Simon W. Nichols married with two sons. Likely the same person there is Simeon W. Nichols listed in the 1840 Census of Jones County, Georgia. No other by the name Simeon was found in any of the Federal Census’ for those years. There is one Simeon only listed in the 1850 Federal Census. He hand his family are residents of Sumter County, South Carolina. He fits well in the proper time frame and place and may actually be the same as the Simon W. and Simeon W. listed in the 1830 and 1840 Census. The 1850 Census, being the 1st to list all family names, has Simeon with the following: wife Nancy, sons Bow, Harvey, and William. The writing on the census is difficult to read therefore the names may not be accurate.
Children of Simeon and Nancy
20. Bow Nichols
21. Harvey Nichols
22. William Nichols
