- There are five published volumes of The Nickerson Family: The Descendants of William Nickerson (1604-1689) First Settler of Chatham, Massachusetts covering seven generations beginning with William Nickerson and Anne Busby. Parts I through IV, resulted from the dedicated work of Pauline Derick. She tapped into resources created by Anna Kingsbury and others, spearheaded by NFA founder William Emery Nickerson. She was also ably assisted by many, many Nickerson relations. Pauline’s son Burt carried this work forward after her death in 1997.
