There is a possibility that your Hicks family relates to mine. My Louisa Jane Hicks married Robert Brewer of Polk County, GA in 1871 in DeKalb County. Louisa's father was Jeremiah Hicks (Hix). The first I have of him is in the 1850 census where he was married with other children (William B. and James). A Cola Hix I believe to be his mother and a Mollie Hicks I believe to be his sister-in-law were in nearby homes. I can't find any of them in any 1860 census. By the 1870 DeKalb census Louisa, Robert and Caly were listed as children with a second wife (Nancy Pierce) whom he married in 1868 and had other children. I don't know where Elizabeth is buried. Jeremiah and Nancy are buried in the Wade Family cemetery in DeKalb County. Mollie Hicks had a son, also named Jeremiah (Jerry) who later moved to Alabama. I can find no further reference of William B. James was in the Civil War and died soon afterward. It is believed he is the JB Hix buried in the Stone Mountain Village cemetery. My speculation is that the first wife died during the birth of Caly. Jeremiah served in the Georgia Militia during the Civil War. Maybe the William B. in Paulding could possibly be the brother of my Louisa and the younger children were sent to live with him during the war. I don't have any other idea how Robert Brewer who lived his entire life in Polk County would have other wise met Louisa to marry her.
