Bot-created subpage
[edit]A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Eugene Hoffman Nickerson was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 17:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Not actually descendant of John Quincy Adams?
[edit]I attempted to verify the claim (repeated in his NY Times obituary and elsewhere) that Eugene Nickerson was descended from John Adams or John Quincy Adams, and what I found tends to indicate that he is not.
Mr. Nickerson's maternal grandmother was Adelaide Cuthbert Adams, but she was descended from the Adams family of Martha's Vineyard, not the presidents Adams.
Having looked, I don't see the family connection to John Adams, either.Bjhillis (talk) 04:02, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Addition to Professional career section
[edit]I work for Rubenstein Communications and I'd like to make the following addition just after the first sentence in Nickerson's "Professional career and government service" section on behalf of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review the edits and take them live, as they see fit. If there are no objections, I will go ahead and update the entry myself.

From 1970 until his appointment to the bench in October 1977, Judge Nickerson was a name partner and litigator with the firm Nickerson, Kramer, Lowenstein, Nessen, Kamin & Soll, now known as Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel. [1] [2]
Added a couple of references
[edit]I added a cite for his growing up on Long Island (deleted the "cite needed" flag). Also added a link to his papers at Columbia University Library. Bjhillis (talk) 03:23, 4 August 2016 (UTC) Added cites, infobox, c/e and formatted.Bjhillis (talk) 23:05, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
