I have a Nicholson without DePriest match who is planning on uploading to Gedmatch. It is a distant cousin, but should give me some idea what chromosome and segment I am looking for.
Here is what I have so far:
The results on Ancestry are as follows:

Before I got the chromosome and segment triangulation, I assumed I was not in the correct place based on the peach highlighted area above. I didn't seem to fit that spot because I was too close for that match up. Now that I see the cM and segments, it seems more plausible. They may not be accurate, but they do help.
So now to figure out what the next step down would be. Once I eliminate the children that did not marry, or couples that did not have children, my choices are:
- Louella DePriest and Ridley Thomas
- Edward DePriest and Rose Etta (Rosie) Anderson
- Lafayette (Fate) DePriest and Vie Lasley
- Tamer Jane DePriest and John Y Harris
- John DePriest and Nellie Brooks
I already know I am going to get a match from Ridley Thomas's line. His line is very familiar. The Thomas's marry Nicholsons and Crowders and all kinds of people in Shannon County. It will look like this: The problem is, once again, this is how that highlighted match currently matches to me. He is already really close for the numbers. Even closer seems wrong. I am not sure what to do about that.
One of Edwards children ends up in Eastern Washington, right in my territory. I did a preliminary search, but his wife has not parents attached. It is going to be very difficult to prove much without her line to match up to.
.. and this is why I keep running in circles. All these matches seem great, but they are very difficult to juggle.
