He converted to Christianity as a result of attending a Methodist camp in 1835. After attending LaGrange College, the Methodist Episcopal College in LaGrange, Georgia, he was ordained at the age of twenty and served four years in New Orleans. He transferred to the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1847 and was ordained by Bishop Leonidas Polk. Having served four churches in this denomination (in New Orleans, LA; Cincinnati, OH; Boston, MA and Newark, NJ), he decided to transfer to the Reformed Episcopal Church in 1875. That same year he was elected bishop, with his consecration by Bishop George David Cummins taking place on February 24, 1876, in Philadelphia. He served as bishop of the New York and Philadelphia Synod of the Reformed Episcopal Church until his death. Nicholson died on June 7, 1901 in Philadelphia. He was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston.
