Notes
a. Note:   Jesse and Mary (Small) Nicholas owned land in Monmouth, Kennebec, Maine. They mortgaged their property in Monmouth on March 9, 1815. In 1816, frost occurred every month and it was called, "the year without a summer." Jesse and Mary sold part of their land on August 9, 1817. They moved from Bowdoin, Maine to Union, Clermont, Maine and lived there just long enough to be listed on the 1820 census. Along with four other families, they decided to leave Maine. They gathered wagons, oxen, horses, and supplies and headed south. After reaching Wheeling, West Virginia, they settled there for about a year, and then they moved to a small farming area near Cincinnati, Ohio. They had been in Ohio almost a year and were quite homesick for Maine. They kept in touch with each other after each family had settled separately. Again as a group, they decided to move home. By October of 1821, they had reached Parma, Ohio, where they decided to stay.
 Parma was part of the Western Reserve at that time, and settlements were encouraged but a rumor that the land was swampy and uninhabitable slowed the growth. The middle of Parma was eight miles south of Cleveland's Public Square. That October, Jesse Nicholas bought land on the Ely tract. The rest of the group were related to Jesse and Mary (Small) Nicholas. They had been neighbors in Maine. Asa and Sally (Small) Emerson had nine children and bought 75 acres on the Tuckerman tract. Mr. Emerson spent the rest of his life in Parma until he died in 1855. Amos and Thankful (Small) Hodgman also bought land on the Tuckerman tract. Amos also lived in Parma the rest of his life until he died. Mary's brother, Joseph Small and his family, and Mr. & Mrs. William Steele (Mrs. Steele was Joseph Small's niece) settled on the Ely tract. William Steele died in 1823 and his wife returned to Maine on foot. The Joseph Small family lived in Parma for 25 years and then they moved to Michigan in 1846.
