The list of marriages of Nickens in North Carolina is limited due to the fact that they resided in counties that suffered destruction and/or loss of records. Nickens were in North Carolina by 1750, but the first marriage record is not until 1803, and there are just a handful until much later than that. Because of the paucity of records I have also included 'known' couples from other records.  If you have any additional marriages or more complete information on these families please let me know. jnvaldez@lamar.colostate.edu
