Notes for WILLIAM NICKERSON:
[1326.FTW]

Before 1677, William Jr. owned a parcel of land east of Great Hill, Monomoit, and another lying southwest of the head of Ryder's Cove where he probably lived. But in 1689 he bought land at Cotchpinicut (Old Harbor) where he built a house and resided for some time. He took the oath of a freeman in 1690 and was a soldier in King Philip's War. As an active participant in village affairs, he served as grandjuryman, constable, inspector of whales, selectman and was the first village treasurer and clerk. It is noted that he did not record his own family, and but few others. William took oath of Freeman in 1690.
In 1700, stimulated by the work of the minister, Mr Jonathan Vickery, the village voted to "bild a meten hous of 20 and 2 foot floor and 13 foot in the wall". For this purpose they made "made chose of Gorg Godfree and William Nicarson, Jr. to lok after and see the work be don and at the same meten the inhabetence ded agree with Edward Small to be the fore workman to get the tember and to frame the hous with the help of the inhabtance and the inhabbetance ded agree to take thare tornes and goo out with Edward Small and to get the tember two days a pece tell every man had took his torn." It was also agreed "that every man that had a teme should drag one lode to plase of the tember ... and when the reat is made it shold be took from thar reat that had don the work and aded to them that had not took thar torn in doing the work". The building roughly completed in 1701, had no shingles, clapboards or glass for the windows. There were no pews, but benches, for the men on one side, and women on the other side of the aisle. The oldest persons sat at the front, and others in the order of their ages. It was used for all village meetings -- religious and secular. On April 07, 1719 his estate was proved at Chatham.[Mayflower.FBK.FBK2.FTW]
