I also descend from Nicholas and Barbara, you'll notice that only their children started using Procious. From what I understand from Mrs. Lucille Procious, Nicholas had an affair with Barbara's sister Magdalena whom he later married after the divorce in 1828. I myself think the children by his first marriage were apparently so embarrassed by his behavior that they used the surname Procious.
