They had the following children:

M i Robert NICHOLS was born 1832.

Robert "Rob" Nicholas, a son of Zepeniah Jr. and Catharine
(McElwain) Nichols, was born about 1832 in what is now Calhoun
County, WV. He married Jamima Schoolcraft. Jamima, a daughter
of John and Sarah Martha (Hall) Schoolcraft, was born in Calhoun
County about 1834.
The traditional story is that "Rob" wished to marry Christina
Schoolcraft, daughter of John and Sarah (Hall) Schoolcraft, but that
her parents would not agree to the match. They did give their consent
to "Rob" and their daughter Jamima marrying. Jamima and "Rob" did
marry, but "Rob" and Christina had children out of wedlock.
The traditional story also says that "Rob" lived in the same
house with his wife Jamima, Christina and Sarah Smarr. This story is
supported by the 1880 Gilmer Census that lists all three women in
Rob's household.
Robert also had children by Sarah Smarr, a daughter of Benjamin
and Anna (Norman) Smarr. Sarah was born about 1832 in what is now
Gilmer County WV. Robert and Sarah were married January 9, 1889
sometime after the death of Jamima (Schoolcraft) Nicholas.
