Ref: "The Hoge, Nichols and Related Families - Biographical/Historical - A Sequential Arrangement of Genealogical Data", by William D. Nichols, 4578 Rain Park Drive, Fairview Park, OH 44126, Sept. 1969 pg. 256
Members of the Nichols and Hoge families emigrated to Virginia from Pennsylvania in the early seventeen hundreds and settled in general area of Frederick, Fairfax and Loudoun counties. At the turn of the century many of their descendants pushed on westward to Ohio, the first state to be carved out of the great Northwest Territory.
Endless hours of research would be necessary to trace, in detail, the linage of the representatives of these two families who are not included in the preceding genealogy but who are the subjects of various historical sketches. Suffice it to say that the multitude of references to these names found in hinshaw's encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy give evidence of close family relationships.
the Nichols family is of English extraction and was founded in VA by two brothers, Isaac and William Nichols, followers of George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends. After settling in Loudoun County, Virginia, they continued to reside there the remainder of their lives; their tombstones may be found in the graveyard of the Friends Meeting House on Goose Creek. William Nichols married Sarah Spencer and had three sons, Isaac, Samuel, and William, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Piggot and Mrs. Edith Tate.
