• Notes

  It is certain that Margaret was married to a Nickel from her father's will. (CL-297) Isaac is commonly listed as the son of John Nickel and Barbara McCombe. However, Maggie Phillips whose direct ancestor is Isaac, has the most completen Isaac. It turns out he had two wives, and son John was the last child he had by his first wife, an unknown Lewis. (CL-494) This Isaac was in the first battle of the American Revolution, the Battle of Point Pleasant (the name Congress gave it). He served there for 3 months from Sep. 1777. From May to Nov. 1778, he was an Indian Spy. He was kept in this capacity on and off from May 1779 to Nov. of 1782 during the Revolutionary War. His pension record is #R7647, roll 1820 at the Seimes Microfilm Center. (CL-298, 494) When he wrote his will in 1835, he did not mention a wife, so it is likely she died before this date.
