Which brings us to Carol

Carol B. Nichols was the grandmother who raised my great-grandmother after her mother died in early childhood. The Nichols I could only trace back as far as Connecticut in 1722. Carol's mother was Nancy Randall and the Randall name traces back to the city of Bath in England so yes, perhaps there is some English in there. What fraction I really could not say. Tracing ancestry is complicated but anyway no one speaks German here so we really do not understand why Marvin is still out there shaking things up when there is nothing of interest to be learned in this way.
