She listed her earliest know Hicks anc as JAMES HICKS born abt 1806 in ENGLAND and ended up in Stokes County, North Carolina (no other details). Her e-mail address must have changed - messages sent are returned. We match on the 12 markers - meaning we share (I think) a common anc. My BROWN surname is supposed to have been originally HICKS - this info was only oral family history (no details on who/when) and the DNA route I've taken seems to have been fruitfull . IF I could only find her or any other person having connection to JAMES HICKS, b abt 1806, b England. .
