Selma,

I reviewed my records and for both Jacob and Nelson Nickens.
Name County Document Time Frame
Jacob Nickens Augusta Tax List 1800

" " Rockingham Census 1820, 1830, & 1840
Jacob MICKENS Rockingham Census 1850
Nelson MICKENS Rockingham " 1850
NOTE: Sometime
after the 1840's census both Jacob and Nelson changed their names to MICKENS. Could you please lookup Mickens, Rockingham Co?

Thanks,
Helen
