Ensign William Nickerson IV was born 1668 in Chatham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States to William Nickerson (1646-1719) and Mercy Williams (1643-1739) and died 15 November 1742 Chatham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts of unspecified causes. He married Deliverance Lombard (1679-1716) 24 October 1717 in Chatham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. He married Anna Atwood (1687-1764) 24 October 1717 in Chatham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. He married Mary Cole (1679-1762) in Barnstable County, Massachusetts.
Ensign William, so "styled" about 1706 as leader of the local military company, lived on his land at Cotchpinicut (Old Harbor), but also received land at Monomessett (Nickerson's) Neck from his father. He was a tanner and carried on that business for many years. There was not only a demand for boots and shoes, but also for leather pants which nearly every man wore at work. He left the tanning house and business to his sons, Caleb, Nathaniel, and Eldad. It brings to mind an old limerick, the end of which is lost - "This is the story of Joshua Sears, Whose breeches lasted for twenty years..."
