Not much is know before granddad Nichols and nothing is known about the Martin side. My mom was Effie May Martin. Our dads mom is Ada Florence Cunningham. His sisters were/are Lorine Morman, Rubby Shelton, Hazel Hundley, Nancy Proctor
We are finally in process of running down all the information we can. Supposively were are of Irish and Cherokee desceant. We do know the Nichols name is English and Irish and have been told that james Robert Nichols mother was at least half Cherokee, but we don't know if from NC or OK. James had a sister (Rose Nichols) that lived in/around OK City Ok, we don't know if she was married or not. Our dad (Frank) was stationed at Ft Sill OK for a short period in the earily 40's, was released from active duty because of a hearing problem.
