The following is a survey of the Nichols cemetery just off Banks Dairy Road in Bulloch County. Everything that appears in brackets is my commentary, showing relationships among the various people, so far as I know them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has further information about any of these people.

Note: there are also markers for Dean N. and Annie Nichols, and their children, Mary and Kermit, in the cemetery at Upper Lotts Creek Primitive Baptist Church just a few miles from the Nichols cemetery. I don't know whether this family was moved to the church and reburied, or whether the church cemetery markers are memorial stones only. If anyone does know, please let us all in on it!
