Note* 1. Joseph Nicholson's house, The White Swan Tavern, in Chestertown, Maryland:www.chestertown.com/whiteswan/

Colonel Joseph Nicholson
(6 Aug 1709 Anne Arundel County, MD -1787 Kent Co., MD)

Joseph Nicholson, son of William and Elizabeth (Burgess) Nicholson, was born in Annapolis, Maryland August 6, 1709. After being educated in England, he returned to America and settled in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland. In his early life a commander of a ship engaged in English trade, he ultimately became a merchant of prominence, a large land owner, and a man of wealth. In 1733, he built his home in Chestertown. Joseph's home is now restored as a bed-and-breakfast inn
(see WEB site, www.chestertown,com/whiteswan/). He was conspicuous in public life, being a Deputy Clerk of Kent County and Deputy Commissioner in 1755, 1760, 1771 and 1773 until the time of his death. He was a colonel in the Kent County militia and High Sheriff of the County from 1763-1768.
Joseph Nicholson was one of the most vocal and ardent proponents for separation from England and served as a colonel in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War. Joseph Nicholson had been one of the founders of the Kent Free School, first public institution of higher education on the Eastern Shore. And, in 1783, he was one of the founders of Washington College in Chestertown. Washington College is the 10th oldest college in the U.S. and the first and only college named
for George Washington with his blessing.
Joseph Nicholson married, first, about 1732, Hannah (Smith) Scott, daughter of James and Sarah (Hynson) Smith and widow of Colonel Edward Scott of Kent County. Hannah was born March 14, 1708 and died between 1760 and 1765. By her, Joseph Nicholson had seven sons and one daughter. He married, second, about 1765, Mary Hopper, daughter of Colonel William Hopper of Queen Anne's County, Maryland. Mary Hopper was born in 1734 and died in 1798. By, her he had one son, Joseph Hopper Nicholson, and one daughter, Henrietta Nicholson.

2. Service: Served as a Colonel of the Kent Militia, 1763-68. He was called upon by the Council of Safety and was appointed by the Council of Safety one of the judges of the court of Appeals of Kent. Co., MD, June 4, 1778. (Maryland Archives, Vol. 12, p.19-20,417,Vol,. 16, p.444,446,480, Vol.21, p 122)

3. Sons of Liberty, Kent County, Maryland, 1766

Taken from: PICTORIAL FIELD BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION, VOLUME II, BY BENSON J. LOSSING, 1850.

On the 1st of March, 1766, the Sons of Liberty of Baltimore, Kent, and Anne Arundel counties held their first formal meeting at the court-house in Annapolis. The Reverend Andrew Lendrum was appointed moderator, and William Paca (afterward a signer of the Declaration of Independence) was chosen secretary. It is unclear which one but either Joseph Nicholson (Sr.) or his son, Joseph Nicholson, Jr.,, from Kent county, presented an address from that district, signed by twenty-three of the leading men. 26 It was an application to the chief justice of the provincial court, the secretary and commissary general, and judges of the land-offices, asking them to resume the business of their respective offices regardless of the law. The Anne Arundel and Baltimore committees also signed the request, 27 which, being forwarded to those officers, was complied with. The Stamp Act thus virtually became a nullity a month before the intelligence of its repeal arrived. That intelligence reached Annapolis at noon on the 5th of April [1766.], and diffused unusual joy through the city. The remainder of the day was spent by the people in mirth and festivity, and at an assemblage in the evening, "all loyal and patriotic toasts were drank."

The following are the names of the Sons of Liberty of Kent County, appended to the address: "Joseph Nicholson, William Ringgold, William Stephenson, Thomas Ringgold, Jr., Joseph MÙtHard, Gideon MÙtCauley, Daniel Fox, Benjamin Binning, William Bordley, Jarvis James, William Stukely, Joseph Nicholson. Jr., James Porter, Thomas Ringgold, James Anderson, Thomas Smyth, William Murray, George Garnet, S. Boardley, Jr., Peroy Frisby, Henry Vandike, and John Bolton."

4. Oath of Allegiance on 22 Apr 1740, Kent County, Maryland

5. Served on Committee of Correspondence in 1774 in Kent County

6. "Queen Anne's County, Maryland - Its Early History and Development" by Frederic Emory: "In 1779, a deed of partition was executed by Joseph Nicholson, of Kent County and Mary, his wife, Joseph Nicholson, Jr., of Queen Anne's County, and Elizabeth, his wife, and William Charles Neill, of Queen Anne's County, for several tracts of land among which was Chesterfield, 900 acres, lacking one acre which had been conveyed to William Hopper".
