In 1909, Walter Nichols wrote ''Sergeant Francis Nicholls of Stratford, Connecticut, 1639 and the Descendants of his Son, Caleb Nicholls.'' In this work he states that Francis was the brother of Deputy Governor [[Nicolls-18|Richard Nicholls]] and therefore the son of [[Nicolls-19|Francis]] and [[Bruce-70|Margaret (Bruce)]] Nichols. In 1932, Donald L Jacobus, [TAG 9:9] criticized the Walter Nichols pedigree, stating among other arguments that Richard, himself said that his brother Francis died in Europe, which we know is not true of the Stratford Francis. In 1993, Barbara Nichols wrote "Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut was not a brother of Deputy Governor Richard Nicolls of New York." [TAG 68:113]. She examined original documents proving that Francis of Stratford was not the son of Francis and Margaret (Bruce) Nichols. In 2000, Neil D. Thompson reveals the true pedigree of Francis of Stratford in "The English Origin of Sergeant Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut." [TAG 75:267] used as sourcing here.
