NOTE: the birth years for Tilman and Addie shown in this document are probably accurate. Their birthdates in FaG are probably in error. Additionally, in this document, their surname was spelled NICHOLAS, and some of the given names were also misspelled, but I believe this Census is for this wikitree person because everything matches with all other known data.
