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.
