Robert C. Nicholas

Robert Carter Nicholas (January 10, 1787 – December 24, 1856) was a United States Senator from Louisiana. He was a veteran of the War of 1812, and also served as Secretary of State of Louisiana and Louisiana's Superintendent of Education.
==Biography==
Born in Hanover, Virginia on January 10, 1787, Nicholas joined the United States Army in 1808, receiving a commission as a Captain in the 7th Infantry Regiment.〔United States Senate, (Journal of the Senate of the United States of America ), 1810, page 309〕
Nicholas later served with the 20th and 12th Infantry Regiments. He was promoted to Major in 3rd Infantry Regiment 1810 and became Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Infantry Regiment in 1812. He served with his regiment in the War of 1812, including combat at the Battle of Chippewa. After serving with the 30th Infantry, in 1814 he was promoted to Colonel, and he commanded the 8th Infantry Regiment until resigning his commission in 1819.〔Anderson Chenault Quisenberry, (Kentucky in the War of 1812 ), 1996, page 165〕〔United States War Department, (A Compilation of Registers of the Army of the United States, from 1815 to 1837 ), 1837, page 19〕
In 1816 and 1817 Nicholas attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He subsequently relocated to Kentucky, and was appointed U.S. Indian Agent to the Chickasaw Nation in 1821.〔United States Senate, (Journal of the Executive Proceedings of the United States Senate ), Volume 3, 1821, page 235〕 Nicholas later moved to Louisiana, where he owned a sugar plantation in Terrebonne Parish while residing in St. James Parish.
Nicholas was elected as a Jacksonian (later a Democrat) to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator-elect Charles E.A. Gayarre, and served from January 13, 1836, to March 3, 1841.
He was Secretary of State of Louisiana in 1845. From 1849 to 1853 he was Louisiana's Superintendent of Education.〔Jeanne Frois, (Louisiana Almanac: 2006-2007 ), 2006, page 555〕〔(The Boardman ), Volumes 6-8, 1951, page 5〕
Nicholas died in Terrebonne Parish on December 24, 1856.〔 (Incorrectly indicates that Nicholas served 12 years in the Senate and as Chargé d'Affaires in Naples.)〕 He was originally buried at his plantation, and later moved to the Burthe family vault at Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans.
