- "When Isaac brought his bride, Margery Cox, of eighteen months to Loudoun County, Virginia, he entered upon a tract of land which became the very heart of the realm of Goose Creek Monthly Meeting. Here he selected a site overlooking Goose Creek, on which he built a stone house which is still standing and occupied to this day (1969). Quoting from "Legends of Loudoun Valley" by Joseph V. Nichols, the Patriarch of Purcellville, Isaac Nichols "was a successful business man and was the father of nine children, all of whom lived to mature years. He was uncompromising in his Quaker doctrine and unswerving in his observance of the more sombre side of the Quaker discipline." Isaac died in Loudoun County, VA, in 1802 and Margery in 1806, both leaving wills. Isaac owned several thousand acres of land near Lincoln, VA, and left a considerable estate.
