         Great Smokies filed this record.

         Flayl Nichols, Revolutionary soldier, settled in Sevier County,
         Tennessee, about 1790.  His wife was Nancy Hatcher who he married
         in Bedford County, Virginia, January 7, 1780.  They sold their
         Bedford County lands in 1787 and 1788, and records of Franklin
         County, Virginia, have Flayl serving as juror and making
         depositions there during these smae years.

         Flayl and Nancy had nine children. Sarah (b. 1780), Martha (b.
         1783), Rhoda (b. 1785), John (b. 1787), Jesse (b. 1788), Simon
         (b. 1795), William (b. 1797), Robert (b. 1800), and Edward (b.
         ?).  Only one of there remained in Sevier County - this was John
         who married Esther V. Black of Blount County in 1814.  The
         daughter Martha married Irish-born Robert Lawson, early
         Sevierville Shoe-maker, and they migrated to Talladega County,
         Alabama, where descendants live today.  Sarah married John
         Matson, War of 1812 soldier; and after his death she and her
         children also settled in Talladega County.  The son William
         married Martha Cannon and about 1835 migrated to Randolph County,
         Missouri - he died there in 1884.  Nothing is known about the
         daughter Rhoda and no trace has been found of the other sons, but
         tradition states that they, like William, migrated to Missouri.

         Flayl died at his home on the Little Pigeon, August 17, 1823. His
         grave in Shiloh Cemetery is marked with the original hand-shaped
         sand stone and in recent years a flat franite head stone show his
         Revolutionary service was erected.  The widow Nancy ssurvived for
         serveral years, but the date of her death is unknown.
