In 1817 the heirs of Margaret McNaughton: James Hamilton, Mary Hamilton, Daniel McNaughton, and Jennet Frasier issue him a certificate of satisfaction.

It is believed that Margaret Nichols was a daughter of Margaret McNaughton and that Finlay N. Nichols was a son of Timothy and Margaret Nichols.

These relationships are inferred from the deeds and mortgages in Washington County, New York. The mortgage from Margaret McNaughton to Timothy Nichols is the most important document supporting this.
