Our extended family includes: Nicholas, Lucas, Childers, Chapman families who settled the Huntington/Charleston/Logan areas of what is now West Virginia. The Nicholas family seems related to the settlers of Nicholas County (West) Virginia and possibly trace to Williamsburg. The Childers were the first white family on the Coal River. There may be a link from "our" Chapmans to John (Johnny Appleseed) Chapman. On the Freyer/Barnum/Temple/Landy side, we are exploring the link between the Barnums of Sturgis, MI, and P. T. Barnum and the Barnums of Connecticut. Check out our related sites for further information on our extended family. Presently, Inga & Ron Freyer Nicholas are pastors at Michigan Avenue (American) Baptist Church, Saginaw, Michigan. Inga also provides pastoral care and family systems counseling. Ron is also a computer builder, webmaster, and systems consultant.
