Here is the genealogy you asked for:

8 John Nickell (Before 1720 Gortin or Bedmoy, County Tyrone, Ulster,  Ireland – 1774 Augusta Co. VA) + Barbara McCombe
7 Joseph Nickell (1750 Augusta Co. VA – 1829 Montgomery Co. KY) + Elizabeth Fowler [1]
6 John “Black John” Nickell (1771 Greenbriar Co. VA – 1849 Hazel Green, Wolfe Co.  KY) [1] + Elsy Wilson
5 Joseph “Preacher Joe” Nickell (1792 Clark Co. KY – 1874 Morgan Co. KY) [2] + Rachel Elizabeth Kash
4 James “Big Jim” Kash Nickell (1820 Morgan Co. KY – 1905 Morgan Co.  KY) + Elizabeth Howard
3 Andrew Campbell Nickell (1855 Jackson Co. MO – Unk* (1910-1919)) [3] + Gillie Ann Pieratt [4]
2 Thomas Pieratt Nickell (1892 Maytown Morgan Co. KY – 1968 Muskegon MI) + Mary Elizabeth Elder (1908-2011)
1 Daniel Boone Nickell (me)

In addition, we have some reason to believe that, prior to #8, John Nickell, there are generations 9-11:

9  JOHN NICHOLL: Father of "Papa John" Nickell, Born around 1670 in Co. Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland (now Northern Ireland). Recorded in 1709 in a claim against his landlord. Died around 1730.

10  JOHN NICHOLL: Father of John Nicholl (above), son of William Nicholl. Born around 1645 in Co. Tyrone. Died around 1700. Listed in 1664 money rolls.

11  WILLIAM NICHOLL: Father of John Nicholl (above). Born in Argyllshire, Scotland around 1605. Died around 1665 in Co. Tyrone. He would have immigrated to Ireland in the years of the Plantation of Ulster, which began in the early 1600s.

* My grandfather, Andrew Campbell Nickell, is listed in the 1910 census, but not the 1920 census.  Family tradition is that he came home from a project (he was a “railroad boss” supervising rail construction) sometime 1912-1915, went out for a walk in the woods one afternoon and never returned. This was before Prohibition, but maybe he accidentally came upon moonshiners who killed him.  Or, he may just have had an accident or medical event and died, remains never to be recovered.
