There is also a footnote in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography [NHM, p. 63] giving Nicholas II's birth date as 20 Oct 1667, but with no supporting documentation.

Nicholas II. Meanwhile in the same time frame NiII, on 2 Mar 1685/6, is described in court as "underage," or not age 21 (Haun V, p.45) [P2]. Hence we know he was born after 2 Mar 1664/5. The accepted birth date of 26 Oct 1667 seems based on NiII's Bible (Griffith, p.12). When verified, that will be direct evidence [P2] establishing a family base point. NiII would have been age 16 in 1683 and old enough to be taxed and take possession of land (The Source, p.186), but not own it out right. He apparently did take such possession around 1685 when he first appeared in court, not yet age 18, and thereafter (starting 1686) was recorded on the existing tithable lists. Despite all that, he appeared in court six times, including jury duty twice, during the year 1688 before his 21th birthday on 26 Oct 1688 (Haun IV). That strongly demonstrates [P1] he was accepted as age 21 before then and may have been born 26 Oct 1666 rather than 26 Oct 1667. One had to be age 21 to serve on a jury (The Source).
