His father, James Nuckolls, was born in Kentucky and was the son of a slave holder and inherited a number of slaves. Believing the institution of slavery a wrong, he emancipated his slaves and with his brother Ezra, removed to Indiana, where he became acquainted and married Mary Ann Barclay of Scotch descent, her grandfather being one of the soldiers who attempted by order of George III to make the American colonies submissive to the royal will of his majesty. Her father on the other hand fought in the War of 1812 on the American side. About two years after their marriage they emigrated to the Territory of Iowa arriving here in September 1842. Mrs. Nuckolls died in 1846 and her husband, the father of Ezra, in 1854. After his father's death Ezra, then but eleven years of age had to provide for himself. For about two years he worked upon a farm, when he then engaged to learn the trade of a carpenter, which he followed for nine months. Not liking the trade, in September 1857, he entered a jeweler's store in Animosa, Jones County, Iowa to learn the jeweler's trade. This suited him and he became a No. 1 jeweler. When the war broke out in 1861, he was working as a journeyman for his old employer and receiving highly remunerative wages. On the 16th day of July 1861, he enlisted in Company D, 9th Iowa Infantry. On the organization of the company he was appointed Corporal and March 8, 1862 while engaged in the battle of Pea Ridge, he was promoted Second Sergeant, serving in that capacity until the beginning of the Vicksburg campaign where on the 15th of March 1863 he was promoted to Second Lieutenant. While on the Atlanta campaign he received an appointment on the staff of General James A. Williamson, serving in that capacity until he received his discharge October 2d, 1864. Lieut. Nuckoll's term of service expired during the Atlanta campaign, but on account of the exigency of the service he decided to remain until the close of that campaign, which was entirely optional with him. The Lieutenant participated in many of the hard fought battles of the war, including Pea Ridge, Vicksburg, Atlanta, Lookout Mountain, etc. In April 1865, Mr. Nuckolls located in Eldora and established his present business and in which he has met with good success. On the 26th day of October 1868, he was united in marriage with Leona C. Eastman, daughter of Governor E.W. Eastman, who was born in Burlington, Iowa in 1846. Five children have blessed this union – Howard Eastman (now deceased), Edward W., James, Susie, and Richard F. ************* Place of death from Sandi Evilsizer Koscak.
