Nicholas Peck Smith

Sheldon's parents were Captain Nicholas Peck Smith and Urania Tourtellot Aborn.
Nicholas Peck Smith was born on March 11, 1787 in Pawtuxet, Kent County, RI. His parents were Simeon Smith (1746 - 1843) and Martha Peck (1756 - 1833). Nicholas married Sarah Perkins on September 14, 1817, and she died with no known children.
He then married Urania Aborn. Urania was previously married to Thomas Sheldon on November 7, 1816.
Nicholas's son Sheldon is apparently named for Nicholas's first wife.
In 1832, Nicholas and Urania and their children moved from Rhode Island to south Georgia.
Urania Tourtellot Aborn's father was Captain Jonathan Aborn, who died while on a voyage in Calcutta, India. Her mother was Mary Arnold, a descendant of William Arnold. She was born on July 23, 1798 and died on October 22, 1841.
Nicholas died on September 6, 1867 in English Eddy, Toombs County, GA.
Nicholas is buried in Smith Cemetery in Toombs County, GA.
