Joe Nichols is an American country singer and musician.
He is the son of Robin and Michael Nichols, a trucker. He is married to Heather Singleton. He has three children, including two with Heather.
Joe has evidently stated that he is of part Cherokee and Comanche Native American descent. It is not clear if this Native American ancestry has been verified/documented.
Joe’s paternal grandfather was Harvey Ernest Nichols (the son of Ernest Elwood Nichols and Edna Fern Sparks). Joe’s great-grandfather Ernest was the son of Edward Lee Nichols and Elizabeth Allen. Edna was the daughter of Samuel Harrison Sparks and Emily Christine Montgomery.
Joe’s paternal grandmother was Helen Marie Mossberger (the daughter of Stanley Stoner Mossberger and Myrtle Ellen Pallardy). Helen was born in Missouri. Myrtle likely was the daughter of Leo/Lee L. Pallarday and Kathleen “Kate” Pelasara, whose father was Italian.
Joe’s maternal grandfather’s surname is Mulkey.

Exotic man.
The documentation of his Native ancestry is written all over his face more than most cases we’ve seen. Though, I get why we can’t add it. I’d call it “likely” Native ancestry through, instead of “possibly.”
An article about him has written “Nichols’ father is part Cherokee and his mother is part Comanche.”

His father doesn’t seem to have any recent native ancestry. I don’t know anything about his mother’s side, we’ll see if it’s found if anyone looks into it.
