  SUBJECT: Thomas and Catherine (Rose) Nickel of Maple Creek, Outagamie Co. WI SUBMITTER: Lynda K. McGinnis EMAIL: lmcginnis@hms.harvard.edu DATE SUBMITTED: 17 July 1999 SURNAMES: Nickel SOURCE: compiled by Lynda K. McGinnis, written June 1999 Thomas Nickel was born 17 Jun 1800 in western PA and was probably the son of William and Isabel Nickel of Delaware Twp, Mercer Co, PA. Thomas Nickel married c1820 Catherine Rose, daughter of John and Susannah (Ault) Rose also of Delaware Twp. Thomas and Catherine had at least 10 children, all born in Mercer Co, PA. In 1847, they sold their land in Mercer County to the Methodist Church for $1 and moved their entire family to the town of Utica, Winnebago Co, WI. In February 1852, they moved farther north through the wilderness to Johnson's Trading Post, Waupaca Co. The Nickel's lived in what is now Maple Creek, Outagamie Co, WI. Unfortunately, Thomas Nickel, Sr died only 2 months after the move to Maple Creek. Since the township did not have a cemetery yet, Thomas Nickel was buried in the woods nearby. The Maple Creek Cemetery was later staked-out around the graves of Thomas Nickel and his grandson, "baby" McDonald, Thomas, Catherine and most of their children were buried in Old Maple Creek (Golden Hill) Cemetery near New London. The information about the Nickel's move north is recorded in the History of Outagamie Co, by Ryan Thomas. Some of the Nickel's children were also recorded in the history including, Thomas C., Levi and John Nickel, all living in Maple Creek. George W. Law was said to be the first settler in this area. There were many Indians living there at that time and "it seemed nearly a year before his wife saw (another) white woman". His wife was Isabella Nickel, daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Rose) Nickel.
