LCA = Last Common Ancestor = George Nicholls, Sr., born ca 1719, British Isles, d. Aft Aug 1772, SC.

 

1.  George Nicholls, Sr., b. ca 1719,  British Isles, d. After Aug 1772, SC.  The name of George Nicholls is found in the 27 Dec 1742 issue of the South Carolina Gazzette;  in a notice posted by Capt Charles Hardy.  The notice advised that George Nicholls and 7 other seamen had deserted the British warship Rye about Christmas 1742.  At the time the Rye was docked at Hobcaw Point above and across the Cooper River from Charleston, SC. George Nicholls obtained a land grant 16 Dec 1766 on the Saluda River (Newberry Co, SC) and another grant of 25 Aug 1772 in Camden District (probably Richland Co), SC.  The historical facts as well as SC Colonial  records, and early SC state records, provide compelling circumstantial evidence that George Nicholls was the LCA of the lineages represented in these experiments.
