Surnames: Hicks, Johnson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Cei.2ACEB/2314.1.2 Message Board Post: Hi, My 3rd great grandmothers name is Celia or Seelia Hicks, Now she was born around December 18, 1822 in Watauga County, North Carolina. I do not know if this is accurate. Her Father was Samuel Hicks , I do not know who her mother is. I do know she had 3 brothers named Levi, Andrew and Patterson Hicks. She married a man named Noah Johnson who was from North Carolina. They had the following children George Washington Johnson (my 2nd great grandfather) and he was born in Watauga County, North Carolina in 1847, John K. Johnson, James Johnson and Celia Lucretia Johnson. Now Celia Lucretia Johnson was born November 29, 1858 and Celia Hicks died 9 days later in Greene County, Tennessee. Now i have Noah Johnsons pension records and most of this info i have gotten from them. The story was told that Samuel Hicks had a bunch of land and divided it up between the boys to keep them close to him. Also another story is the family broke up after the Civil War. I hope you all are able to h! elp me. I have hardly any info on this family and would love to fill in the gaps. You can get in touch with me through my e-mail vedamo@earthlink.net. Thanks.
