Joseph H. Nicholson
 
               
         Joseph Nicholson was born in April 1849 in Maryland . I do not know who his parents are at this time. Before 1870 he moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is here he married Amelia Thomas , in February of 1870. Joseph and Amelia had ten children five which survived according to the 1910 census. Their son Joseph is my direct ancestor. Joseph rented various houses in the Philadelphia area throughout his life. He was a carpenter by trade. Both he and his wife Amelia died in Philadelphia before 1930.
