Can someone please help with connecting my 4th Great-grandfather to his family?

I have connected everyone else, but I can't find anything on his origins or parents.  His name is John Nichols (Nichols-15352) and he was born in Stratford, Connecticut on 29 Nov 1810. He died on 7 Mar 1898 in Degolia, Pennsylvania. He married Cyrena Shattuck (Shattuck-1241) in 1833.  

I haven't been able to find any more information on John, there were several Nichols families in the area where he was born and lived.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the source for his birth information?
There is a typo in your question … his birth was in 1810 according to his profile.
Thanks
His birth information, that I have, came from his profile on FamilySearch and a copy of some old family trees done back in the 1960s by a relative.  It may have come from the profile manager, Winifred Sihon, She seemed to have more information than what I could find through research.  We were both stumped on finding more information about John Nichols.

I found a death record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HNZP-MBT2, which doesn't include the parents names, but does confirm that they were both born in America.

The link busted for me.
Thank you, I dug a little deeper and possibly found his parents names. Funny thing is, I’m the one who attached the original source to his profile. It was right after I had chemo and was had just come home from the hospital.
@Roger: There is an extraneous comma at the end that got included with the link. Remove that, and the link works. Here is the cleaned up link:
