biography text
Nicoll, who came from a Presbyterian family whose religious sympathies he shared, was probably a Whig in the Convention Parliament. He was returned at a by-election for Bossiney for which a new writ was issued on 3 Apr., though the indenture is missing. An analysis of the Commons prepared by Robert Harley* in April 1691, and subsequently amended, classed Nicoll as doubtful. He died, aged 48, on 7 Jan. 1700 and was buried at St. Tudy, Cornwall.
