Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Make the most of it while you can

Be the hope that you need in the future

Plan for tomorrow and make your plans come true

You are the writer of your story

Seize the day and follow through

No one can make your dreams come true but you.

 this blog was previously located at RAYNICHOLS.me but I cannot afford to pay for domains as I make no profit from my work. 

the phrase starving artist comes to mind. 

had to let all domains go and rely on search engines from here on out.

my blogs spot

The art influencer. the child of Apollo. the wordsmith. the versifier. the master of rhymes. the poet. there was a time when poets were held in pretty high esteem. Lord Byron used to hang out with Doctor Polidori and Percy Byshe Shelley. William Shakespeare made a living from his plays and he wrote poems too.

I have been previously published in The American Poetry Anthology, The Best New Poets of 1986, Hearts on Fire(A Treasury of Poems on Love), and some other anthologies i cant remember at the moment.

Author of some books at Lulu and Amazon. I will try to post some links to my books here for you later. Some of my works are Daydreamer, Journal of a Daydreamer, and The Man in Black. More on those later.

Artist. I have some prints for sale at DeviantArt and Zazzle and RedBubble and some other sites. Will add links soon.

Blogger. I have some blogs at WordPress and Blogger among other sites. More on that later.

Creator. I have made some videos for Youtube and Vimeo. and some apparel for my shops. tee shirts. bumper stickers. prints. and the like. Links to come soon.

update on John Nichols b.1814 son of Elisha.

q and a

 

while I still don't know for sure who the parents of john are. meaning I have no absolute proof. I have a theory that works. over time I tried to connect him to Isaac nichols and Rhoda bond, but no, they were married in 1818. John was born in 1814. although they were married in Bedford VA., they were not the parents of john. also, Isaac appears to have had a son in 1814 named Isaac, so unless he had twins he was not the father of john. eventually DNA proved that they were not the same bloodline because Isaac is a descendant of the Thomas Nichols line u152, and I am not. my paper trail ends at John Nichols b. 1814 in Bedford, VA., so Isaac is not my line and so neither is he John's. 

however, my DNA matches descendants of John Nichols of MD b. 1720 and his grandfather Simon Nicholls of Scotland. so I figured that maybe, my John is a grandson of Lt. John Nichols of MD. searching his family I found one or two possible parents for my John AKA Ezekiel. at first, I thought maybe he was the son of sgt. Archibald Nichols and Judith Hatcher, but there is no proof of that. none of the children of arch and Judith were named John arch had a brother, Captain John p Nichols, some have called him John James Nichols Jr. but documents from court show his name was john p Nichols. JP had a son named John James Nichols who was a private in the military and was left a shotgun by his grandfather Lt John Nichols. but this John III moved to Tennessee and is not my John Ezekiel Nichols. also Judith may have died before 1814, which would make her not the mother of Zeke. 

looking at other options I saw that arch married a first wife before Judith, but there are no known children of that marriage. and she wouldn't have been the mother of Zeke. grandmother maybe but probably not mother.  

looking again, I saw a brother of arch who may have had children about 1814 in Bedford, VA. that brother was Elisha Nichols. Elisha married Rosie slinker first and again no known children of the marriage, he next married Nancy Payne and had a son Elisha Christopher before 1814, so he was married and having kids then and living in Bedford county. *on a side note. John Ezekiel Nichols had a son named Ezekiel who had a son named Ezekiel Christopher Nichols. just a coincidence? maybe. 

recently I listed Elisha as a possible father of john Ezekiel and now have DNA matches on ancestry to Elisha through his son Elisha and his daughter Nancy. so I think there is a really good chance now that Elisha may have been the father of john Ezekiel Nichols, and he was probably named after his grandfather Lt. John Nichols who married Martha j payne, Nancy Payne is believed to be the daughter of flayle Payne, Jr., who is the brother of Martha j payne. 

any way DNA does not lie, so I am pretty sure now that Elisha Nichols is the father of john Ezekiel Nichols and grandfather of my second great grandfather Ezekiel h Nichols. so that is one wall broken. 

simon Nicholls of Scotland begat Thomas Nichols of MD who begat Lt. John Nichols of MD who begat Elisha Nichols of Bedford, VA. who begat John Ezekiel Nichols of Bedford, VA. who begat Ezekiel hankin Nichols of Franklin VA. who begat my great grandpa James IRA Nichols AKA Jim. wall broken.
