Thomas NICHOLS

HUSBAND:
[F7818]. Thomas NICHOLS.
Thomas Nichols was born (in 1630)(about 1634-S5) in Coggeshall, Essex, England (S3); son of Walter NICHOLS [F15636]. He was of Coggeshall, Essex, England.

He married Mary MOULTON [F7819] in September 1655 at Malden, Massachusetts. [This appears to be the wrong Mary MOULTON. Mary MOULTON of Charlestown was married to Thomas MITCHELL on SEP 1655 at Charlestown.]

He died (before 1720)(in 1720-S3) in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.

WIFE:
[F7819]. Mary MOULTON.
Born (about 1632-S4)(about 1642-S7)(1644-S3) at (Salisbury, Essex)(Malden), (Massachusetts-S2)(England-S8).

Perhaps the daughter of Thomas MOULTON [F15638] and Jane [F15639], but source six says the daughter of Thomas MOULTON and Jane married Thomas MITCHELL, and that this was the marriage in SEP 1655, and it was in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

She is sometimes said to be the daughter of William MOULTON [F7490] and Margaret PAGE [F7491], (see S2), but the ages given make this improbable. William and Margaret did have a daughter born in 1654, but this was not the Mary MOULTON who married Thomas NICHOLS. The Mary MOULTON who was born in 1654 married Jonathan HAYNES. Source four says she was born about 1632, but that would make her nearly the same age as Margaret.

Source 3 says she died on 27 July 1674 at Hampton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire; but is this the correct Mary?

Therefore, it is far from certain who were the parents of Mary MOULTON who married Thomas NICHOLS. Most of the information given seems to have her confused with several other individuals.
