Surnames: Hicks, Solomon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cei.2ACEB/3513 Message Board Post: Ruben Hicks born ca.1840 married Lydia Solomon in Iowa, they had Melcena in Aug. 1850, Dallas co. Iowa. Then Ruben is gone and Lydia remarrys. I found a Ruben Hicks age 60 born N.C. and wife Edy Hicks age 62 N.C. on the 1880 Iowa census this may be him, they are living near people related to Lydia. Can anyone identfy this Ruben Hicks and his family.
