Thanks for assuming the responsibility of the Hanover WebPage. There are several Nuckols and Nuckolls still in Hanover. The one L Nuckols are descendants of William Nuckols B 1710 in Louisa Co VA. William's mother was Susannah Pouncey who was an early Baptist. He married WE THINK Elizabeth widow Duke but we can not connect her to any of the Dukes in the area. They had a large tract of land on Tuckahoe Creek on the Hanover line. You may know Pouncey Tract Road and Nuckolls Road and also I think Old Nuckolls Road.

William and Elizabeth dropped an L from Nuckolls so their children would be distinguished from those of William's brothers who conformed to the Church of England. The Goochland Baptist Church was called the Nuckols Meeting House because of so many families of that name. It is said that a visiting minister requested during a service, "Will Brother Nuckols please lead us in prayer?" and 17 men stood up. This church is very close to the Hanover line and the area where William's son Reuben lived on the lower side of the South Anna River. I think my great-grandfather Harden Duke Nuckols had a home on this land that included what on some maps is Mill Creek. He was a minister at the Berea Baptist Church.

The Nuckols folks in Hanover do not seem too interested in their family history--when you live with it every day you just do not need to study it on weekends. We think that James Nuccol who signed the Blisland Complaint in 1676 is our common ancestor. His name is fairly close to that of Roger Pouncie.
