He built his home in 1795 in Mason County, Kentucky. which was split to form Mason & Bracken Co. Ky. He gave 600 acres of his Bracken Co. land, where he and Nicholas lived, to the town of Augusta, Kentucky.
Nicholas also wrote his family genealogy in the blank pages of a family medical recipe book. It stayed in the family, eventually carried to Vicksburg, Miss. from Ky by Judge Thomas A. Marshall (1st cousin to Chief Justice Marshall), Nicholas' grandson, and was destroyed in the Civil War fire that consumed "Openwoods" the Marshall home. However copies were made.
