The NICHOLAS family
Sir Oliver NICHOLAS of Awborne [sic] was possibly involved with the building of the Wheler Estate in Spitalfields, the area where Simon MICHELL (husband of Charity HATTON) would later be involved in estate building. His daughter Frances NICHOLAS, by his wife Frances REEVE, married Francis HATTON of Mortlake, Surrey, son of Alderman Sir Roger HATTON of All Hallows, Barking and his wife Lucy BRODERICK of Wandsworth.
The NICHOLAS family of Aldbourne had links with the NICHOLAS family of Manningford.

The History Of Parliament: Oliver Nicholas 1651-1715/16
....came from a cadet branch of an old Wiltshire family, which had held land in the county since at least 1361, though they had never achieved magnate status, and since the Restoration had been overshadowed by their namesakes of Winterbourne Earls. Nicholas’s father served with some distinction in the parliamentary army in the Civil Wars, and later in the garrison of Dunkirk; he resigned his commission in 1662, but remained on the commission of the peace till 1670, though his income was estimated at only £300 p.a. Reinstated in 1671, he gave proof of his churchmanship by raiding a conventicle in the village, and imposing heavy fines on two of the ministers. He was reemployed in the army and died lieutenant-colonel of the Duke of York’s regiment and deputy to George Legge as governor of Portsmouth.
