He then returned to Hardeman County and farmed till 1885, when he moved to Bolivar and opened a livery stable, which he is now operating with evident success. Though in business only a short time Mr. Nuckolls has succeeded in gaining his share of the patronage of the county. Mr. Nuckolls’ fine rigs for the accommodation of the public are to be had at the very lowest prices. Those having had any business transactions with him have found him pleasant and prompt in all his dealings." (book, Goodspeed's History of Tennessee - Hardeman County, 1887)
46. "William Nuckolls, an old and highly esteemed resident of Hardeman County, was born August 15, 1804, in Robertson County, Tenn. His parents were Richard and Temperance (Walton) Nuckolls; both were natives of Virginia and came to Middle Tennessee about 1798. They had a family of five sons and two daughters, our subject being the youngest and only surviving one. He received a very limited education. In 1824 he located in Hardeman County where he has since resided. In 1852 he wedded Zarilda Cotton, who was born in 1818. To them were born six children, of whom two sons and two daughters are living. Mr. Nuckolls was for a short time magistrate, having received his appointment from Brownlow. He has been a Democrat nearly all his life and during the war was a strong Union man. His chief occupation has been the saw-mill business in which he has amassed quite a snug fortune. He is also interested in farming. He began life without capital but by industry and attention to his affairs is now the possessor of about 2,600 acres of fine land. He has lived in Hardeman County many years and is universally regarded as an able, substantial and worthy citizen. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Nuckolls have ever united with any denomination." (book, Goodspeed's History of Tennessee - Hardeman County, 1887)
47. "John W. Nuckolls, M.D., a well known physician and extensive planter, a resident of Toone, Hardeman Co., Tenn., is a native of the county where he resides, born December 7, 1840, the fourth of nine children, eight now living, born to Sterling and Narcissa (Whitaker) Nuckolls. The father was of Welsh descent, born in Virginia in 1784, but when a child came to Tennessee and settled in Robertson County. He was engaged in farming and the milling business and was a prominent man of his day. He died in 1860. It is thought the mother was a native of Lincoln County, Tenn. She was much younger than her husband and died in Hardeman County in 1876. John W. in the fall of 1861 entered the Confederate States Army and joined what was known as Capt. J.J. Neely’s company of cavalry and was received in Forrest’s command. He served two years under him but was captured in December, 1863, and was held as a prisoner of war several weeks in Bolivar, but was finally released upon taking the oath of allegiance. December 5, 1867, he married Miss Fannie R. Anderson, daughter of Edward Anderson, of Hardeman County. She was born in 1845, and they are the parents of eight children, six now living. Immediately after his marriage he began the study of medicine, and in 1870-71 attended the Medical College of Nashville, after which he returned home and began practicing in connection with Dr. J. R. Anderson establishing a drug store at the same time. Dr. Nuckolls dissolved partnership with Dr. Anderson after two years’ connection. He now owns a fine residence in Toone valued at $5,000, besides 4,000 acres of land in Hardeman and Madison Counties. Dr. Nuckolls is a Democrat in politics and his religious views are in sympathy with the Missionary Baptist Church." (book, Goodspeed's History of Tennessee - Hardeman County, 1887)
