Biography
Daughter of William Nichols 1599 – 1695 and either his first wife Mary or Margaret Gengell or by his second wife Mary Southwick bp 1632 – 1696 . However, it is virtually impossible that she was the daughter of the second wife. See her father's profile for my reasoning.

That she was William Cave's daughter is proven by court records regarding her father's will. Ref Essex Probate Case # 19517, signed in December 1696. See NYGBR 69:37-38

Has anyone found a will for her, possibly naming her children? I am wondering if her will or estate showed daughter Hannah with a married name by chance
