Wilmington was formed in 1810 from parts of Highland and Warren Counties. If they came here in 1820 or after, then you might find records at the historical society, which is located in dowtown Wilmington just a few blocks away from my residence. The public library which is viewable from my house, has a newspaper archive on microfilm that might be of assistance as well.
“Around Wilmington” could mean a whole slew of places here. Sabina, Sligo, New Antioch, Martinsville, Middleton Corner, etc., all are within close proximity from about 5 to 20 minutes outside of the city. There are graveyards scattered all over, some that sit near farmed fields with a few headstones, to larger sized ones still in use. But if there is a record, these two places mentioned would most likely have something on the family.
One site you might consider is…
http://www.nicholsgenealogy.net/nichols/index.htm
Which includes…
Nichols Family of Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia ,North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Related Families: Albright, Anderson, Austin, Black, Brooks, Bruce, Campbell, Cook, Davenport, Finlayson, Garrett, Gladney, Graves, Hankins, Hawthorne, Hildreth, Henderson, Ingram, Johnson, Kerr, Keller, Lea, McCreight, Noe, Oliver, Prewitt, Rice, Rollins, Rich, Sharp, Smith, Sharp, Sinclair, Threadgill, Tolbert, Trefoe, Thomas, Wilson, Williams, Wright, Wyatt
Which is one I will have to go through because of the surnames that might be associated with my family, a few surnames are Shawnee related, if the ones on this site are connected to mine. Noe and Bruce, from VA/WVA/Kentucky and Scotland respectively, are in my direct lineage and could very well be related with the states mentioned.
So if Shawnee do show up in these families, it is possible that Saponi may as well somewhere in the Nichols line.

hi i too have richard and elizabeth parsons on my family tree i am a descendant through their daughter mary and her husband jonathan phillips. I found on the net that elizabeth could be the daughter of cherokee chief big feathers who marched on the trail of tears. Have you found anything about this elizabeth having a sister named ellenor nellie feathers/ clarkston? the reason i ask is that on the other side of my mothers family i am a descendant of nellie feathers and theres a big debate on the internet wether her father is chief big feathers or the john feathers. theres really no proof of her father being big feathers. i was if you had heard anything like that
Linda wrote: Welcome Aminky. I just wanted to drop a quick note that the Gibson name is very important in Saponi ancestry, being one of just a half dozen that is documented to a tribal Saponi family. So . . . if you can trace that one back it may lead somewhere special.
Can the line of Thomas GIBSON – the father of Gibson (“Gibby”), Hubbard, and Thomas GIBSON through Elizabeth CHEEVERS – be traced back to the Saponi ? I’ve chased the male-ancestry from Jamestown in 1608 to Hanover County to Chippoake Creek in the 1640s (I think 1649).
Beeleaf,
I have some good friends in church and his last name is Feathers. He is Indian, you can tell. He is southern and said that he was Cherokee frm what he knew.
