William NICHOLSON was born 19 May 1819 in ME. He and his wife Ann (born in 1838
in ME) migrated (probably by sea?) to CA during the early gold rush years in
time for first child Levi to be born there in 1852.Ann was probably one of the
few wives to accompany her husband to CA at this time. Subsequently children
Ada, 1855, and Henry, 1857, were also born in CA, but Minerva 1860, and Lesta
1862, were born in Australia. Matura 1864, Sybilla 1870, Alexander 1873, and
Stephan were born in Alta, Placer Co, CA. William who died in San Francisco in
1902 listed his occupation as miner. Ann died some years earlier. Seeking any
information or descendents. Bob Bass, ggrandson of Sybilla (Isa) Nicholson
