I did come across Willard Atherton Nichols in a book titled "The Constitution and Register of the Membership of the General Society of the War of 1812" from 1908.
WILLARD ATHERTON NICHOLS was living at Redlands, California, at P.O. Box 536.
He was the grandson of Abel Willard Atherton (1777-1821), in United States service as Captain, Third Regiment (Nichols) Massachusetts Militia, September 16, 1813.
Detached on special service at Fort Burrows, Maine.
Also as Captain, Portland Rifle Company, same regiment, September 7-9, 1814, in defense of Portland, Maine, and as Aide-de-Camp on the staff of Major General Alford Richardson; September 10-November 9, 1814, for the defense of Portland.
