Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: Jan 1776, Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut; American Revolution Col. Samuel B. Webb's Regt. Battle of Rhode Island - 1778 Battle of Springfield, NJ - 1780 Army of the Hudson - Dec 1780

Notes:

Francis served in the American Revolution from January 1776 apparently until 31Dec1780, having attained the rank of Sergeant. He first enlisted in Capt. Hale's Company as a Private, in the State Regt. at Boston under Col. Eratus Wolcott from Jan. to March 1776. Francis joined Lt David Smith Co. at Peekskill,NY on 13 Apr 1777 and there served under the command of Gen. Eratus Wolcott as part of the 1st Connectcut Brigade and served until the 19th of May 1777. His time between his enlistments from 1776 to 1778 is not completely documented in Connecticut records. It is stated that he joined Smith's Company at Peekskill, therefore he must have been there prior, although the last record of his enlisted ended March 1776. Secondly, after May 1777 there is no record of Francis in service until he is in the rolls as a Sergeant in Capt Wrights Co. in Col Enos' Regiment, on the Hudson, stationed at West Point. From there, Sgt. Francis Nicholson enlists in Capt Walker's Company on 21 July 1778 under the command of Col Samuel B. Webb. During the summer of 1778, Webb's Regiment is attached to Varnum's Brigade and marched to Rhode Island, engaging in the battle there of 29 Aug 1778, known as the Battle of Rhode Island, at Newport. Webb's Regt. was "commended for its conduct," in the battle. They remained in Rhode Island until the fall of the following year, when they were sent to the winter quarters in Morristown, NJ and assigned to Stark's Brigade. They were present at the Battle of Springfield, NJ, which took place in June of 1780 and assigned by Gen Greene, to reinforce Lee's Dragoons, during the battle. A few months later the Regiment, with Sgt Nicholson, returned to New York and served with the main army on the Hudson until 31 December 1780 when it was reorganized for the next formation. Col. Samuel B. Webb's Regt. was transferred to the Connecticut Line and designated the 3rd Connecticut. Sgt Nicholson was with this Regiment until the close of the war as stated in his application for invalid pension, dated 1792. According to this document he first became disabled in 1781, suffering from "weakness and debility, occasioned by smallpox, and excessive fatigue and hardships." Although he apparently continued his service in the 3rd Connecticut as noted in his widows pension record dated 1837, his oldest son Edmund, recalls "...that he has ever since his recollection heard his parents relate the fact that when an infant his father being home on a furlough, took his mother the said Rachel Nicholson to see the French Army then encamped at Hartford..." (Edmund was born February 1782). Papers pertaining to Francis' Revolutionary War service record were featured on the PBS television series, Ancestors, in 1997. Unfortunately, the compiler(Perry Streeter) has had little cooperation to date from PBS in learning more about the ultimate sources of this information.

Notes:

In primary and secondary sources, Johnathan's named seems to be uniformly spelled as such, adding an h to the more typical spelling of Jonathan. Perhaps in recognition of this variation, Johnathan's son used the more typical spelling. When [Johnathan] was 15 years of age his parents moved to the state of Penn. and settled at South Canaan in Wayne co. in a district which was termed the "The Great Swamp," about half way between the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers. Here when he was 20 years old, his father died leaving to him, and his mother the care of a large family. For several years he taught school, to help support the family. This school was located in a settlement of very thriving Methodists and he heard for the first time the doctrines that were to make so radical a change in his after life.
After [Johnathan's] school closed being much attached to the place and the people, he settled there, in what was known as North Canaan and joined the society of Methodists, which shows the change in his views, his early training having been Calvinistic. He soon after [became] an itinerant preacher. There also he married the daughter of John Swingle and remained for seven years. At the end of that time, in the year 1811, he removed to Union Luzerne County, [Pennsylvania] about 20 miles below Wilkesbarre.
In 1823 [Johnathan] moved to the state of New York and settled first in the town of Catlin about six miles north of Newton, now Elmira [Chemung County], where he continued to preach, working for his family five days of the week and giving the remaining two to the community at large. At the end of this time, in the year of 1827, he removed into what was then the town of Howard [Steuben County], now known as Turnpike Hill. Hornellsville as then a mere hamlet and had no communication with the outside world except the Canisteo river and the turnpike road, which was open [sic; opened] by the state soon after. In [Johnathan's] forest home on the turnpike, [he] reared a family of 15 children, 13 sons and 2 daughters. Of this family only two are living, David who resides with his daughter in Hornellsville and Perry, now at the good old age of four score who lives on Cunningham Creek. By the efforts of this large family the forests were cleared for the fine farms and pleasant homes which abound through this district at the present time. Johnathan] was careful to keep a record of his descendants, which at the time of his death number [sic;numbered] something over 250.
We have now to mention [Johnathan's] going at the ripe old age of four score and 5 years on New Year's morning 1869. He was at the time at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Abram Smith, on the Turnpike, and was sitting in his rocking chair. He went at the unfolding of the New Year to the country where we hope to meet him in the sweet bye and bye. Notwithstanding the many virtues of this good old man, not even he was exempt from slanderous tongues. There were certain charges preferred against him and an investigation was held. Elder Jesse Bartholomew of blessed memory was chairman of the committee that investigated the charges. On the following Sabbath morning he arose before his congregation in the little old red school house and said: "Brethren, them stories against Father Nicholson is all false. When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies, I'll bid farewell to every fear, and wipe my weeping eyes. Sing, Brethren, Sing." (NF)
It is probable that the first school regularly maintained in the township was that started by Jonathan Nickerson in a portion of Hans Ulrich Swingle's house in 1812... The Nickerson school was kept up for several months and had an attendance of about twenty pupils (Alfred Mathews, History of Wayne, Pike, and Monroe Counties, Penn. [1886]).
... on the turnpike in 1808. After him came Johnathan L. Nicholson. The turnpike hill... it is familiarly known as 'Nicholson Hill' from the numerous families of that name that have settled there, all descendants of Johnathan L. Nicholson (Roberts).
Johnathon Nicholson, a local methodist preacher, primarily from Hartsford, Connecticut, settled in Union, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, moved to Newtown (now Elmira, Chemung County, New York) in 1825 and in 1829 located in the eastern part of this town [Hornellsville], on the turnpike, on the Wesley Nicholson farm, where he built a large two-story house on the site of the Luther Chapman house. He bought out Thomas Beattie who had made a slight clearing, and build a small log house with a sloping or shed roof. A small distillery had previously been built there about the time the turnpike was opened in 1809, to supply the men employed in building the road, with whiskey. The only clearing between the river at Hornellsville and the Nicholson place in 1829, was at the Henry Ranger place, where Hughey Clark, an Irishman, had cleared about 20 acres, and had built a log house and barn. Mr. Nicholson was the father of fifteen children, thirteen of them were sons. ("Town of Hornellsville," Gazetteer of Steuben County [New York], Part 1)
