Nichols/Van Zant/George in Arkansas
James B. Nichols, B. Frank Vanzant, and John N. George are found on the same U .S. Census page for Sharp Co., Arkansas, Davidson Twp., in 1880. James B. Nichols, and his wife, Sarah E. Hilton Nichols, had a daughter, Louisa C. Nichols who married I believe Thomas George, son of John N. George. On this 1880 census “Louisa George” is found living in James B. Nichols’ house hold. She is listed as a daughter, 17 years of age, a widow with a son named William George age 1. John N. George is found seven lines down from James B. Nichols’ family. Listed is his wife, Paulina R., age 54, b. in Tennessee; daughter Rositta, age 21, b. in Tennessee, grandson, George Vanzant, age 13, b. in Arkansas; granddaughter Josephine Vanzant, age 11, born in Arkansas, and granddaughter Rosina Vanzant, age 8, b. in Arkansas. I believe that the Vanzant (or Van Zandt) grandchildren listed here are also the grandchildren of B. Frank Vanzant listed nines lines above James B. Nichols’ family on the 1880 Census.
James B. Nichols and Sarah E. Hilton are my gg-grandparants. They were married 8 March 1849 in Franklin Co., Tennessee. They were both probably born in Tennessee. Sarah E. Hilton might be related to Samuel P. Hilton who married Nancy Jones on 17 January 1843 in Franklin Co., Tennessee. Children of James B. and Sarah E. Hilton Nichols are: James H.
