This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

There are lots of Adcocks in the same places I've seen Hicks so this is very likely our Hicks and I think 'Adry' is very rare so regardless of the birth date(s), I'm fairly convinced that this is ours. You were in the court house at Morgan county-- do you live nearby? Is your Hicks ancestor from there as well? I'm not familiar with any of the surnames you list in your post. Thank you for your reply. I have decided to just start adding Hicks's to my family tree maker file as I find them (Option: Add unrelated individual)! Many of them are sure to match up somewhere! I hope to post my gedcom online soon. I had many mistakes a few years back and didn't have time to keep looking plus it seemed there was little progress. There is an Adrey Hicks in the 1st Census, in Richmond county, NC. According to the rootsweb.com person who posted my query in August 2002, a Daniel Hicks died there in 1796, James Hicks died there in 1794, Laurence in 1833 and Hiram in 1881 (this is the order she gave them to me). Allen Hicks is first mentioned in the 1800 census there. Then our Adry Hicks shows up years later and we are left trying to hook him in. We have much info on this Adry Hicks, very little about his wife Nancy Jenkins. Much searchable info has yet to be posted on the Richmond co website, as well as Morgan county, etc. Appears some footwork is on call. There are several of us searching! We have family in Illinois, Missouri, and Texas that I have seen posting... Looking forward to seeing that breakthru! Cindy (Hicks) Curtis
