NUCKOLS Land grants before the Revolution.

(#2) John NUCKOLS, 289a & 211a on Pacolet River in 96 Dist. S.C. 28 June 1774.
" , 300a on Pacolet River in 96 Dist. SC 23 June 1774.
" , 400a on Thicketty Creek, Craven Co. SC 23 June 1774.
This 400 was a renewal of a former grant in NC.
_____________________
(#3) John NUCKOLLS, after the Revolution (son of John Sr.) had a grant of 136 a on Thicketty Creek 4 July 1785.
_____________________
(#4) Council Journal dated 6 April 1773.....James NUCKLOR appears and asks for a land grant of 800a of land, being a married man with 13 dependants.

(#4a) Now whether all of these were his children, I am unable to state. I do know at the time, land was allowed according to the size of the family and 100a for the husband, 50a for the wife and 50a more for each dependent child or other persons residing in the house......also often a man received extra land in payment for some service to the Crown..I have data that John NUCKOLLS was a Justice of the Peace and some of the land may not have been for dependents but as payment for service.

(#4b) James NUCKLOR is evidently a mistake and an error in the Council Journal...Each plat for John NUCKOLS refers to his asking for a grant of 800a on 6 April 1773....I have checked every entry in the Council Journal for that date and the dates preceding and after and James NUCKLOR is the only semblance to the name and it was for 800a, hence I decided the clerk in making the entry made an error.

(professional researcher notes)

(#5) John NUCKOLS, a plat for 289a of land surveyed by James WOFFORD 20th day of April 1773 according to a warrant for 800a of land made to John NUCKOLS in the Council and this was all the free land to be found here and surveyed 289a on Mitchell Creek of the Fairforest on a line said to be the NC line and adjacent to the land of William PLUMMER.

(#5a) John NUCKOLS, a plat for 211a land surveyed 23rd April 1773 by James WOFFORD upon a warrant for 800a issued to John NUCKOLS by Council dated 6 April 1873 and his being all the vacant land to be found here, 211a on south Pacolet River adjacent to the land of Martin Fifer, John Lyon, & David McDowell...said plat delivered to Richard Langston.

(#5b) John NUCKOLLS a plat for 300a surveyed by James WOFFORD 23 May 1773 and all sides by vacant land and on north side of pacolet River below the Doctor's Bottom...same plats above about warrant etc.

(#6) John NUCKOLS made in Charleston SC on 28th Nov. 1774 a Tax return on all these three grants of land in #5, 5a & 5b....Book 13 pg. 128

(#6a) John NUCKOLLS Book 13, page 484 a memorial tax return on 400a of land on Thicketty Creek and granted to him 28 April 1768 by William TRYON, the Governor of NC and surveyed by Zachariah BULLOCK and adjacent to the lands of Stephen JONES and David ROBERTSON....But now that the state line between NC & SC had been run, this 400a of land was found to be in SC...Tax return made by John NUCKOLS in person in Charleston 10 July 1775.

It seems that John NUCKOLLS decided to have Zachariah BULLOCK, run this land a second time and took a new grant from SC for the 400a ....in the Tax return stated...Plat delivered 10 July 1775 and run by Zachariah BULLOCK 17 May 1775 and run by Zachariah BULLOCK 17 May 1775 for the grant for 400a, 9 Nov. 1774.

(#7) This land grant in what was supposed to have been NC in 1768 definitely places the time when John NUCKOLLS came to SC.

(8*) The Plat and grant in (#3) was to son of John NUCKOLLS Sr.

(#9) John NUCKOLLS signed some papers as J.P. before 1780 which places him as a Justice of the Peach...I checked to find when he received his commission as Justice of the Peace but did not find it....This service as a J.P. before 1780 gives Colonial Dames service and membership.

(#10) SC Council Journal of the General Assembly dated 24 Sept. 1776...I quote in part..."Commissioners (Election..Andrea) for the Spartan or upper district my be absent at the time election. It is recommended that Lt. Col. WOFFORD and Mr. John NUCCOLS be added to the same."

(#11) John NUCKOLLS was elected to the General Assembly (I was unable to find the reference and location of the data) which was to meet at Jacksonboro during the Revolution and in 1782. He was elected from the Spartan District...The Tories killed John NUCKOLLS' before he could take his seat.

(#11a) His serving in the Rev. Assembly would make his descendents eligible to membership in D.A.R.

(#12) Page 118 of Accounts for 1801-1802....paid 24th Nov. 1802 to John NUCKOLLS, Sheriff of Union Dist...for serving warrants...This John was the SON of the elder John...the accounts were paid for the service the year before.

(#13) The Census for 1790 does not give any NUCKOLS for Union or for Spartanburg...It does give Joshua PETTY who married the widow of John NUCKOLLS in 1785 and the NUCKOLS children showed in the home of Joshua PETTY.

(#14) Revolutionary files for SC...no file for John NUCKOLS.

(#15) Richard NUCKOLLS as a solider in SC Continental Regiment #27.

(#16) Thomas NUCKOLS is supposed to show in the file of Alexander NICKELS, deceased...his claim for Revolutionary service filed by Joseph NICKELS and Mrs Jean NICKELS, executors of the estate of Alexander NICKELS..sworn to before William Hill J.P.> of York Dist..and claim made payable to Robert Faries of Union Dist.....Thomas NUCKOLS was supposed to have been a witness but I was unable to find his name.

(#17) John NUCKOLLS does not have a file for the Revolution...He however, was a "evolutionary patriot and was murdered by the Tories...He also evidently held some sort of Office with the Revolutionary forces and evidently was a Commissionary General...His name appears in two files.

(#17a) File of Joel HEMBRY or HEMBREE as noted in some spellings...In the claim of Joel Hembry, he is asking for pay for a Horse lost....In Spartanburg Co. of 96 District and sworn to be before Samuel Lancaster J.P., Joel Hembry states...# Ralph Smith J.P. of Spartanburg Co. in 96 Dist. in May 1779 took a signed statement of my Horse lost and the Cathcart sign the appraisal) and said horse WAS PRESSED BY JOHN NUCKELS into service for the Stono Expedition and was lost...etc." ....From the foregoing statement, it would seem the John NUCKOLS was one of the leaders to the Stono and that battle there.

(#17b) In the file of Nathan GRIMES...Natham Grimes furnished supplies and one receipt for these supplies was signed by Col. Thomas BRANDON...another receipts was signed by Jno. NUCKOLS (A photostat can be had of his signature of John NUCKOLS)....9th day of April 1779, I received of Natham Grimes three hundred six pounds of flower, one bushel and a half of corn & four days of rations for Public Use"....signed John NUCKOLS.

This would seem to show that John NUCKOLS held some sort of office for procuring supplies for the use of the American Troops...also not that this Nathan GRIMES resided some ten miles down the river from John NUCKOLS.

(#18) John NUCKOLS name is also supposed to be in the file of the Estate of William SAVAGE with Mrs. Martha SAVAGE as Adams....Prisoners of War at the Sugar House...this claim was dated 26 Nov. 1787 and somewhere in the file, the name of John NUCKOLS is supposed to appear. I was unable to find it and it was likely also a receipt signed by him.

*************************************************************
(#19) Mr. THOMAS NUCKOLS Treasurer at Columbia 6 Nov. 179..in the file of Nathan SAVAGE and Thomas NUCKOLS with Samuel COOPER and Samuel Taylor J.P. have their names on the late paper dated 6 Nov. 1790 and Thomas NUCKOLS may have been a treasury officer in 1790....this can be checked.
************************************************************
        Book by BAILEY--below

(#20) A "History of Grindall Shoals and some Adjacent Families" by Rev. J.B. BAILEY, Cowpens, SC...I wrote next from that book....The Rev. J.D. BAILEY is now dead...his son, Mr. Jonathan BAILEY, Cowpens, SC still has some copies of this book by his Father for sale....(this was 1949)

(#21) John NUCKOLLS was born in 1732 in Virginia. He married Agatha BULLOCK, a sister of Zachariah BULLOCK (See#6a) ...John NUCKOLLS left VA in 1767 and with his family set out for SC....He stopped at Kings Mountain and he and his family went to the top of King Mountain and there brewed a post of tea...the cups they used to drink this tea from are still in the family and are owned by Mr. Samuel LITTLEJOHN of Jonesville, SC who is a great grand son of John NUCKOLS.

(#22) John NUCKOLLS decided to settle on a hill on Thicketty Creek and on this hill he built a fine plantation house the ruins of which are still seen with the old chimneys (1925) ...he had abut 500a of fine meadow Land. He named his plantation Whig Hill.

(#23) John NUCKOLLS was an ardent Patriot and played a prominent part in the Revolution...Bailey does not state where not in what capacity that John NUCKOLS served.

(#24) John NUCKOLLS went on an expedition to McKown's Mill and took along his young son, John NUCKOLLS, Jr....The young son was quietly sleeping when a band of Tories surrounded the Mill, young John NUCKOLLS escaped in the confusion but John NUCKOLLS Sr. was cruelly murdered and the fatal blow was delivered by a man named DAVIS.

(#25) The body of John NUCKOLLS Sr. was brought back to Whig Hill his home and buried in the family graveyard...

(#26) Some tombstone Inscriptions for the Old Whig Hill Graveyard...

In memory of John NUCKOLLS Sr. / Who was murdered by the Tories for his devotion to Liberty/ on the 11th day of Dec. 1780/ In the 29th year of his age... A long further inscription is on the stone.

Agnes (Agatha) Petty / Relicit of John Nuckols Sr / wife of Josua Petty / Died 6th Feb. 1816 / Aged in 65th year.

(#27) Bailey gives a description of when the Tories invaded the plantation house of John NUCKOLLS at Whig Hill.

(#28) Bailey lists the children and who they married...according to records found.
