I’m told by a distant cousin that my Hicks line descends from Native American heritage. Most likely the Cherokee Nation and maybe the Chocktaw tribe. Can anyone help me with this or point me to another information source? Anna Marie Hicks was my great grandmother born 2/17/1892 in Carterville, MO. Looking at old pictures of her, you can see the Indian blood in her. She had several siblings: Ira Wallace Hicks, Aminta Harriet Hicks, Noah Richard Hicks, Frank Wesley Hicks, Lee Roy Hicks, Mabel Catherine Hicks, Omer William Hicks and Iva Margaret Hicks. Their parents were John Wesley Hicks (b. 4/14/1845 d. 12/23/1906) and Maggie (or Margaret?) Catherine Tucker (b. 11/27/1856 d. 5/22/1925). John’s father was John Richard Hicks who was married to Catherine Emerick in the early 1800’s. Thanks for your help. Ric
