That's funny. I knew John Nice owned the mansion on the property where the Holiday Inn is now. I did not know about the hauntings. Will have to check out the Youtube videos. Thanks.

Hello Jennifer:
The parents of Mary NICE and Mintie DIXON were Abner and Joanna PYLES MINER. They can be found in the 1870 census in Marshall County, WV and in the 1880 census in Wetzel County, WV.
If I can help you any more, please let me know.

I will take a look at the book for Pine Grove and see if there is any information on Minta Belle MINER DIXON or her husband Jacob DIXON. If they are in fact sisters I would love any information on their parents. I am at a dead end on Mary E. NICE MINER's line. I have no info on siblings or parents.

SURNAME:
If you go through the Surname Message Boards for the listings of: KNEIS-KNEISEL-KNEISLEY-KNEISS-KNEISSL-KNICELEY-KNICELY-KNICKLE-KNIESS-KNISE-
KNISELEY-KNISELL-KNISELY-KNISEY-KNISLEY-NEIS-NEISS-NICE-NICEL-NICELEY-NICELY-NICLEY-NUSS-NUSSLE. I am sure you will come to the same conclusion that these are variations of spelling of ONE surname. Most with the pronunciation as NICELY probably originating circa 1550 in Switzerland as NUSSLI. Good Luck! ddeise@verizon.net

Hello ! I don't know if this will help or if you already know, but I lived on grand island for about 5 years now, and all of our favorite ghost stories come from the holiday inn, a man named john nice use to own a mansion were the holiday inn is today, it was called the white haven settlement around those same years. I know he had a lot of kids. One day (acodin to legend) it burned down, everyone made it out safley accept for one of his children. Now they say that girl hunts the holiday inn. There are some YouTube videos on it if u want to check them out. I personly believe it from all the things that happend to me there...

Nice of Souderton, PA who sponsored Russian Mennonite immigrants 1923

mjanzen_1 — 2009-06-10 23:38:17Z

When my grandmother Mary Dirks, 17, and her sister Katharina Dirks, 16, immigrated to the U.S. from the Ukraine in 1923, they were sponsored by a "Mr. and Mrs. Nice" of Souderton, Pennsylvania, U.S., who were associated with the Eastern Mennonite Home. Some Internet research I have conducted suggests the full name of Mr. Nice might be John S. or Garret S. Nice. I would really like to find out the answer, as I am reediting my grandmother Mary's memoirs of that time and would like to include Mr. and Mrs. Nice's first names, and also ideally, a photo. More details at http://www.personal.psu.edu/mja11/blogs/family/2009/06/a-nic...

Nicee or Nice Eunice

tickletwice53 — 2009-05-27 02:21:08Z

I am searching for Nicee Eunice Marshall's parents my guess is her mother's maiden name was Nicee or Nice. Her father's name was John or Johnathan Marshall. Nicee or Nice Eunice Marshall was born 1780 in Tennessee. Her spouse was Jesse Coleman.

I believe your g-g-grandmother, Mary E. NICE was the sister of my g-grandmother, Minta Belle MINER DIXON. I've been told Mintie and my g-grandfather, Jacob DIXON are both buried without grave markers at Pine Grove Cemetery at Salt Lick, near Rowlesburg,WV.

Re: Looking for family!

cweaver4 — 2009-02-21 19:19:53Z

Kurt, I'll see what we can do for you. Your complete email address might help. Is Wanda Proudfoot Nice your grandmother? That would make Ralph ('Red') nice your grandfather, not walter, unless i'm missing something. Is Wanda doing OK? Saw her a few years back. She would be my 2nd cousin, i think. Donald Nice and Kathryn Nice Gedmon are still in Midway, I guess? I was born in Donald's house (1936)

Re: Cornelius NICE b. 1754 Germantown, PA - Could he have been a Loyalist??

Hi Shirley,
My Susannah DeNyce parents were John DeNyce b 1726 married Dec 1746 to Jane Northrop Born 4 Sept 1726. John died 10 May 1775 burried at Old Pennepack Jane died 5 Dec 1805. Also at Old Pennepack.
Johns father was Cornelius DeNyce born abt 1700 Germantown married 30 May 1725 to Mary Durborow. Cornelius died 1734 Mary ?
Cornelius father was Hans DeNeus born Krefeld Germany abt 1660 He married 13 Oct 1697 Krefeld to Jane (Jenneka) born abt 1660. They emmigrated about 1698 to Germantown PA

There is a book on the DeNyce lineup. A cousin of mine purchased it and we got info from it.

Re: Cornelius NICE b. 1754 Germantown, PA - Could he have been a Loyalist??

2006-04-09 19:31:07Z

Cathy,

Thank you so much for the info.. I'll try it.

I did find that my Cornelius Nice b 1754, s/o Cornelius de Nyce (neis, nice) and Susanna Krauss, was also Cornelius Nice the Loyalist. A few months ago, I received a copy of Susanna's Will and in it refers to him "in Nova Scotia" and his whole family was excluded from her estate.

I am now onto his Wife... or, actually, Wives. In Susanna's Will, it referred to Cornelius' s "second wife" - no name given. He married (2) Ann Darling - but no parents found. There is a marriage record extracted from Church records on familysearch.org showing a Cornelius de Nyce marrying a Hannah Durling in 1781... so I am thinking that this may be them. The Durling name changed to Durlin and even Darling... so it is a huge possibility especially since the Durlings were living in NY around the same area as Cornelius' regiment was posted.

You Susannah DeNyce - who were her parents??

Shirley

Re: Cornelius NICE b. 1754 Germantown, PA - Could he have been a Loyalist??

Hi,
You can get DeNyce line up from Roberts Bios Vol 11 part 18. Go to web and search "DeNyce"+Germantown PA
Good luck. Let me know how make out. My line also is DeNyce. Susannah DeNyce married Wm Heritage. on 13 Aug 1771 Salem Co. NJ. Susannah died 27 Aug 1774 and is burried at Old Pennepack Baptist church Lower Dublin Twp Phila PA. They had 1 son John who married Ann Fetter. My William Heritage seems to have disappeared after Susannah death. I have been unable to locate him. I also can not find who his parents were.
Contact me and maybe I can help you with your DeNyce line.

Cornelius and Olive (SATTERLEE) NICE Bible Record

RMunns7272 — 2006-09-09 20:17:38Z

I have just received the Civil War Pension File for Robert Boyd NICE, because I'm tracing his wife, Sarah R. YOUNG. Robert's sister, Mary, swore an affidavit on Robert's age - and copied the family bible page for the pension file. I thought I'd share it here, because it doesn't really relate to my direct family.

Births:
Cornelius Nice March 29, 1806
Olive Satterlee August 22, 1806
Children:
Malvina Nice August 31, 1827
Elizabeth Nice March 29, 1829
John Nice October 16, 1832

Mary Nice June 20, 1836
Silas Nice January 12, 1838
Martha Nice February 20, 1840
Webster Nice January 5, 1842
Wesley Nice December 20, 1843
R. B. Nice March 13, 1845
David Nice February 20, 1850
James Nice May 16, 1852

Robert's sister, Mary, has the surname POTTER and lives in Boscobel, WI on November 18, 1907.

Robert was born in Stephenson County, IL. He served in Company G, 47th WI Infantry Feb. 4, 1865 - Sept. 4, 1865. He married Sarah YOUNG May 20, 1868 in Prairie du Chien, WI. Robert died March 21, 1908 in Boscobel, WI.

Obit.: Jerry Reed NICE, Sr. (born Sherrill Youngblood), of Stanleyville, NC & VA

HaroldHolstein — 2006-05-02 01:47:32Z

From The Winston-Salem Journal, Winston-Salem, NC, September 4, 2005--

"Jerry Reed Nice, Sr.
STANLEYVILLE -- Mr. Jerry Reed Nice, Sr. (born Sherill Youngblood) passed away Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005, at his home. Mr. Nice was born in 1936 in Ararat, VA, to Jessy Earl and Ida White Youngblood. He grew up in Mount Airy and graduated from Mount Airy High School. He graduated from the Newport News Apprenticeship School in Newport News, VA, and worked as a design engineer in the nuclear submarine program under Admiral H.G. Rickover. When he retired in 1986, he was head of the atomic reactor research and development program. While living in Newport News, he was active in Deep Creek Friends Church. In 1989, he moved back to North Carolina, was a member of Pinebrook Country Club, and was a member of the Yadkin Valley Senior Golf Assoc. Mr. Nice was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Darrell Youngblood; and his sister, Julia Lawrence.
He is survived by his wife, Doris (Peggy) Peddycord Nice of the home; two sons, David Nice of Mount Airy and Jerry R. Nice, Jr. and wife Annette and granddaughter Stephanie of Franklin, VA. Other survivors include a sister-in-law; five nieces; and three nephews.
The family will receive visitors from 7 to 9 this evening, Sept. 5, at Vogler & Sons Reynolda Road Chapel. A graveside service will be held at noon, Tuesday, Sept. 6, at Mountain Plains Methodist Church, Highway 52, Hillsville, VA, conducted by the Rev. Bobby Webb."

John Nice (1803-1872) related to German Neus/Nyce/de Neus of PA

porterbarbara_1 — 2008-07-14 19:49:33Z

Sometime in the 1820's, John Nice (b. 1803 in NC) married my 4th gr grandmother Jennie Mewhinney Bradford, a widow. In 1830, they lived in Anderson Township, Hamilton, OH. That same year, John bought land in Tippecanoe, IN. By 1840, they were living in Lost Creek,Vigo County, IN. After Jennie died in 1866, John married Harriet Fogel. Their daughter, Sarah Frances, married William Pinnell. John died in 1872.

According to the 1800 census, a Cornelius Nice was living in Burke County, NC, which is near the TN border. Is this John's father? Hamilton County probate records show that in 1815 Cornelius Nice was the administrator for the estate of William Nice, deceased. Are these men John's relatives?

John's brother may have been Cornelius Nice, JR. who was born in NC in 1806. He married Olive Satterlee in Edgar, IL, which is near Vigo, IN. He eventually settled in Stephenson, IL and and Grant, WI where he died in 1892. Finally, the 1860 census shows that David Nice, born 1790 in TN, was living with John and Jenny Nice in Lost Creek. Is this John's brother, step-brother, or uncle?

Although the source has been lost, my family history states that John Nice was descended from the German born Neus family. Is my John Nice a descendant of Hans, Jan, or Jacob De Neues/Neus/Nyce/Neiss/de Nyce who settled in the Montgomery County, PA area in the late 1600's? These brothers were Mennonites who immigrated from Krefeld, Germany. Some of their descendants settled in Shenandoah, VA, a migration route to TN and NC.

Any help with John Nice's ancestry is much appreciated!

Re: where does my name come from

Super_Glue — 2006-02-09 16:07:55Z

It's probably not French. Most Nices (or Nyces) trace their roots to Mennonites who emigrated from the Krefeld region of Germany in the late 1600s. Brothers Jan and Hans de Neuss were 1698 emigrees to Germantown, PA. Hans would become the third Mennonite minister in the Germantown Mennonite Meetinghouse, though he left the church in a dispute with another member. Jan was the first Mennonite deacon in the Germantown Mennonite Meetinghouse. Philadelphia has an area called Nicetown which gets its name from Hans who owned land there.

chrisnice25 — 2008-05-20 12:58:47Z

I am a proud English NICE and have struggled for a while to find any reliable imformation on the names origins.

I have found a `George Nice` who died in the 17th century in the carribean, and know of various other family snippets but the roots of it all elude me.

a fine young lady suggested after she did some research that it derived from `Pictish` but im not convinced....

ideas are welcome

Re: Looking for family!

Jullie - No I have not heard of those folks. The Weavers I am descended from lived in Pittsburgh although some moved away. Joseph Francis Weaver was my great grandfather - he emmigrated from Strausburg, Germany and died 1911-1912. His son , Joseph George Weaver married Elsie Chloe Nice. Her family came from WVA and lived(some still do) in Midway, PA, about 20 miles from Pittsburgh. My father never knew his father nor his grandfather (Joseph George and Joseph Francis), nor did I.

I would appreciate any leads.

His name was James Seddon Brook, 10 Oct 1890-15 Mar 1940 Phila., PA.
