Biography
William B Nichols was a soldier in Co.F, First Arkansas Infantry (Union-Civil War), joining 1 Mar 1863. Shown deserted August 1863 from Fayetteville, Arkansas. If he had not deserted and filed for Civil War Pension, we would know his wife's maiden name. Many Union men were taken prisoner while scouting in Newton County. Because of his desertion, he did not draw a pension. More than likely taken prisoner by Confederates and was reported as deserted. Many men that this happened to did not follow up with their pensions and so it was dropped. I am sure he was glad to have lived through the Civil War.
