Nicholas was a tavern owner and farmer in Washington County, Virginia. Nicholas was last listed in Brandywine Hundred on November 28, 1791 and was first listed in Washington County five months later when he purchased two town lots in Abington, the county seat, where he established a tavern. By 1795, he also owned a 184-acre farm in the area.
In 1799, he inherited several parcels of land in Rowan County, North Carolina, that were originally purchased by his grandfather about 1755, although there is no known evidence that Nicholas ever actually lived there.
In 1795, Nicholas married Anna Davidson, daughter of Andrew and Ann Davidson of Washington County, Virginia. They had four children. In March 1803, he was listed as a constable in Washington County. After Anna died, he remarried to a widowed neighbor, Amelia (Keys) Meek and had five additional children.
Nicholas served six months as a sergeant during the War of 1812 and was stationed as a clerk near Fort Norfolk with the 5th Virginia Militia under Captain James Meek. Soon after the 1820 census, Nicholas sold his tavern and resettled to Ray County, Missouri where he died about 1825. His widow lived there until about 1830 when her children scattered to other parts of Missouri.
