Obituary (shown to left) says:
Obituary

The death of George Alonzo Giberson occurred at his home on March 10th after a lingering illness of many months. 

He was 91 years of age and the son of George and Elizabeth Giberson, born in Holmesville where he resided all his lifetime.  

He was widely known, a man of high ideals, hospitable, and neighborly.  Many years ago he identified himself with the Christian Church and has always been a contender for the old-fashioned faith.

He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Harry Williams of Easton, Maine, a number of grandchildren, near relatives, and many friends.
Therefore, will be much missed in the community.

Funeral service was conducted by Reverend A. Hatfield, assisted by Reverend Earl Giberson from his late home to Primitive Baptist Church, Holmesville, where many friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect for one who had lived so long in their midst.  


Hymns for the occasion were: "There is a land fairer that day" at the home. "Eastern Gate" solo by undertaker Britain, "Zion's Hill," "Abide with Me"  
There were many beautiful floral tributes from family and friends.  Pallbearers were relatives of the deceased:  Loren, Arnold, Gordon, and George Giberson.  Interment was made in the family lot of the Holmesville Cemetery, Holmesville, besides the remains of a faithful wife who predeceased him some 18 years ago.

Special story concerning Mahitable, the last child born to Dorcas and Otis: 
At the bottom of the headstone is a note about an infant child. The child was first entered in records as a boy but there was still a question. We fasted and prayed as a family and received the answer that the child was a girl. There is more to the story, but you'd have to go to Family Search to read about it.

Thomas Nickerson 1696 Lydia Covell 1701-1750

Thomas Nickerson
Parents Lieutenant Thomas Nickerson and Mary Bangs
Born 24 Dec 1696 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Married 1) Lydia Covell 16 May 1716 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Note: there is a marriage record with the name Thomas Nickerson and Lydia, but the year is wrong - 1705, which would make her 4 years old and him about 9, so though I think it is them, because of the date, I believe it was a clerical mistake...and the clerk that made the mistake was none other than a Thomas Nickerson.
2) (Widow) Sarah Crowell 5 Jul 1751 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Note: marriage intention published 5 July 1750
Note: on family search, for place of marriage it claims London Grove Township, Pennsylvania, but the extracted work claims it was Chatham, Massachusetts. An extraction error?
3) Bethia Harding 26 Dec 1763 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Thomas and Bethia's marriage record. The 6 on the 26th is very hard to see unless you really enlarge it. Note: marriage intention (engagement): 3 Dec 1763 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Died after 1763 (when he married Bethia)
Buried

Note:  Big fat question mark: Thomas was engaged to marry his second wife by July of 1750, so...he was engaged before Lydia died?  Were he and Lydia divorced? or are there two Thomas Nickerson's with wife's named Lydia?

AT THE ATWOOD HOUSE A Chatham Murder Mystery by Spencer Grey

On Nov. 15, 1772, when Captain Joseph Doane of Chatham was on board his schooner in Cape Cod Bay, he saw a vessel flying a distress signal. Coming alongside, he discovered it was the Schooner Abigail, Thomas Nickerson of Chatham, master, en route from Boston
to Chatham. When he boarded the Abigail, he confronted a horrifyingly gruesome scene. Her deck was covered with blood, and the captain, his cousin, Sparrow Nickerson, and his brother-in-law, Elisha Newcomb, all lay there, clearly having been murdered. Chests had been smashed open and rifled; a rum barrel with its head stove in was almost empty, and only one member of the crew, Ansel Nickerson of Chatham, also a cousin of the captain, remained alive. Although highly agitated and distressed, Nickerson was able to present his version of what had occurred.

The previous evening, he asserted, they had been hailed and stopped by a topsail schooner, and as four boatloads of men rowed toward the Abigail, Nickerson lowered himself with a rope over the stern of the ship to escape what he believed either were pirates or English sailors planning to impress them into the British Navy. While he remained out of sight, the intruders killed everyone on deck, except a 13-year-old boy named William Kent, whom they took with them after they had raided the contents of the chests and drunk most of the rum in the barrel. Nickerson heard them discussing whether or not to burn the Abigail, but fortunately for him they decided against it and returned to their schooner.

Although Captain Doane found Nickerson’s account plausible, he nevertheless reported the incident to the county judge, Edward Bacon, Esq., of Barnstable, who was less convinced of the young man’s veracity. After other vessels had scoured the area for evidence of any pirate foreign vessels and found none, Bacon sent a copy of the report to the governor and had Ansel Nickerson locked up in the Barnstable jail for further questioning. In the meantime, news of the bizarre and bloody incident reached as far as Boston, where a young attorney
named John Adams read it and recorded in his journal that he considered it a “mysterious,
inexplicable affair.”

Even though Captain Doane could not corroborate all of the evidence provided by Nickerson, it seemed unlikely that he could have overpowered and murdered three
members of the crew, and moreover there was no clear motive for his doing so. 

Nevertheless, Bacon was sufficiently suspicious to have him sent to Boston to be tried for murder on the high seas by a special Court of the Vice-Admiralty. The trial was scheduled for July of 1773, and John Adams and Josiah Quincy, Jr. were appointed counsel for the defense. The defense maintained that Nickerson was a lucky survivor of a pirate attack and was in no way responsible for the murder of the three men and the pillage of the cargo.

At the end of a five-day trial the jury returned a tie vote, resulting in Ansel Nickerson’s acquittal. Yet John Adams was not totally convinced of Nickerson’s innocence, as he wrote in his diary after the trial, “I know not to this day what judgment to form of his guilt or innocence.”

Because the facts of the case remained murky and Nickerson remained under a cloud of suspicion, he apparently left Chatham and settled on the island of Eleuthra in the Bahamas. Even though there were uncorroborated reports that he confessed to the crime on his deathbed, the whole episode remains a mystery to this day

Life Sketch: "An early settler Prince Nickerson who settled shortly after Elkanah Smith,  was living in Barrington in 1763. His property was bound on the South by Clam Creek. He had 3 sons; Eldad, Sparrow, and Thomas. 

Eldad was famous for ship building, setting the pace for Coffin's and Sutherlands, who milled their ship timber on the river and rafted it to the harbour"..."The oldest son Ansel went to Maria Joseph, the other sons settled at Port Clyde." The Barrington 1769 Census shows a wife, 2 sons, 3 daughters, cattle, sheep, swine, fish boat and dried fish. Prince was on the Committee for laying out Proprietors Land 1768-9. He sold his lot at Barrington Head to William Donaldson and his interest on Cape Island to Stephen Nickerson. He was living at Cape Negro in 1783.

His will gave Mary his real and personal estate until her death, and then, to be divided between sons Eldad, Thomas, and Sparrow. It included the house and barn on three acres, fish house, stock, other land and meadows. Son Ansel received 10 Shillings and the daughters "all my household furniture to be divided equally" Eldad as executor of the estate after Mary died in 1830, wrote to Probate Court 21 June 1832, "...there is some land so dispersed belonging to the estate that it will be extremely difficult for the appraiser to view it will you please advise me whether it cannot be sold without a valuation" "Aug. 1, 1832 Probate judge gives land (agreeable to all) to son Eldad as it cannot be divided without great difficulty and expense".
