THOMAS NICKELL was born in Staunton, Augusta County, VA in 1740. Thomas married Jane "Jennie" King in Monroe County, (West) VA in 1760. Together they had eleven known children:
Margaret Nickell; Barbara Nickell; Thomas Nickell; Robert Nickell; Elizabeth "Betsy" Nickell; John Nickell; George Washington "Wash" Nickell; Mary Nickell; Andrew Nickell; James Albert Nickell; Jane Nickell.
Thomas Nickell and his brothers served the cause of American Independence. During the French and Indian Wars in 1758, Thomas served in a militia company under British General Braddock and a young Colonel George Washington. General Braddock led over thirteen hundred British and American troops from Fort Necessity (now Fayette County, PA) with plans to capture Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh, PA). They were ambushed by French and Indians at the Monongahela River. General Braddock was killed in the ambush, and the expedition became known as Braddock's Defeat. Colonel Washington demonstrated his courage and leadership by rallying the troops and safely returning the expedition to Fort Necessity.
In 1772, Thomas Nickell was on the Muster Roll of Captain James Henderson, Greenbrier Virginia Militia. Thomas Nickell and his brother Joseph served as guides for Major John Connally and Captain George Aston in the Colonial Militia. Thomas served 117 days and Joseph 116 days.
The Nickell brothers, Thomas, Isaac and Joseph served in the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. The Battle was fought between colonial militia and Shawnee Warriors under Chief Cornstalk. As the Indians were supported by the British, this Battle is considered the opening engagement of the American Revolution. In defeating Cornstalk, the Ohio country was opened to settlement.
Thomas Nickell passed at the age of 67 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia on April 3, 1807.
Thomas Nickell Sr had another son James Albert Nickell who built Nickell's Mill. James Albert's son, Thomas, moved north to Logan County Ohio and is buried in Huntsville cemetery. I descend from Thomas.
