I found several entries on WorldConnect (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com) that show Frances E. Hickman to be the daughter of Francis Marion Hickman and Mary Wardlaw. Many of them also say that Frances E. Hickman was a twin of William F. Hickman. Is William F. Hickman the same as William Jarrett in the 1860 census? Why would William adopt the Jarrett surname and Frances keep Hickman? I looked in the 1850 Bradley County census and see Francis M. Hickman, age 22, living with his father, John L. Hickman, and several siblings -- but no sign of Francis's wife Mary. Was she just overlooked in the census? Would love to have more insight into this family as well. I haven't looked in the marriage records to find a union between Francis Hickman and Mary Wardlaw. Wes Jacobs gives a deed citation from Greene County, Alabama, for this family: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=thjacobs&id=I03211 --Melissa Quoting bjw <jann_woodard@yahoo.com>: > I hope someone can explain the following census to me.
