However, the last posting requires that I jump into the issue since it talks about Hicks family born in Lebanon, MO and that is own personal point of origin. I think that your reference to the 1920 census in Laclede Co. Il, Gasconade tsp was supposed to be Missouri. Do you know if you are related to Argales Parker Hix/Hicks (1829-1895) who is buried in the Lebanon City Cemetery?? Argales (also spelled many other ways) was originally from Camden County, just to the north of Laclede County. There are many Hix relatives from there and some still living there near Climax Springs, MO and Macks Creek, MO. Anyway, it appears that Argales moved to Laclede County to be near some of his offspring (my own great-grandmother). I have recently seen photos of Hix relatives that were taken in Lebanon, MO leading me to think that others were there for a while. Do you know if this Hix/Hicks family is related to Pearl Hicks Tooley?? Argales was the son of John H. Hix (also called "The Old Soldier") and he was born in VA (now W.VA) and it appears that he came to Missouri through Kentucky. Ann Carrington [email protected]
