Leon Anson Nichols, born Parrsboro; Merriam and Winters relate_ d

Dora Gleeson Merriam, a Nurse, born Parrsboro, m/1 Capt. Herbert Riley
Nichols, born Advocate, on 14 Feb 1893, Methodist, Parrsboro.

After Capt. Nichols died sometime before 1910, Dora m/2 Frederick Locksley
Pugsley, born Parrsboro, on 30 Mar 1910, United, Southampton.

>From Dora's m/1, there was issue of 3 children; Leon Anson, Mary Davida, and
Frances H. Nichols.

The Pugsley family moved Stateside to Mass. sometime before 1918 with 3
Nichols children and 4 Pugsley children.

It still requires a bit more research but I believe Leon Anson Nichols m/1

Barbara, Marjorie, Herbert, and David Nichols.

Helen G. Nichols was m/1 (?) Peaslee; m/2 Ernest Herbert Ayer who was
previously m/1 Mary Grace Fewkes.
