William Nichols b 1816 Virginia
I have been searching several years for my GGGrandfather William Nichols.According to the 1850 census records he was living in Cadiz Ohio with his spouse Sophia Corbin Nichols. They were married in Cadiz on 11 Feb. 1845. Apparently he had disappeared from the family around 1854 along with his oldest daughter.The census records indicate he was born 1816 in Virginia.I don't know if it was in what is now WestVirginia or what is now Virginia.I can't find any info to provide clues on his place and family of birth to help solve the problem.
