I'm trying to locate an Edward Hicks born in Tennessee in May of 1824. Would be 16 y/o in the 1840 Census. Looking for his parents. Edward married Michell Beams of Whitley Co., KY, and they lived mostly in the Whitley Co. area. Edward is listed as born in TN, so I'm assuming it was probably Campbell Co. They had eight children, one of which was Jesse N. Hicks (b. May 13, 1855). Jesse N. Hicks married Sarah Eliza Chappell in Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., KY. They had nine children, and from what I've been told, Jesse, Eliza, and most of their children (except my great-grandfather, Robert Lee Hicks) moved to Salem Co., Penns Grove, New Jersey. Robert Lee Hicks (b. Nov. 25, 1887 in Whitley Co., KY) married Bessie Thompson in June, 1906 in Campbell Co., TN. Would be interested in finding any cousins in NJ, and definitely the parentage of Edward Hicks of TN. Thanks, Kristi Cox Dayton, OH
