Robert Henry Hicks married twice, a Martha Williams first, had two children and secondly, a Mary E. Lloyd/Loyd who was Cherokee through herr lines-Parsons, Twist, Bearpaw, Water Hunter, etc. I found this information also with the Cherokee Historical Society in OK. Now to prove John Hicks, our common ancestor, whose mother was supposedly, Gano, first wife of Charles Renatus Hicks. As you may know, John Hicks was educated by the Moravian's and later became a Baptist Minister, serving in two different churches and died at one of the churches. His wife and children moved and lived at Ft. Davis, AL. and she taught school, was known as a "Wester Woman". I would be interested in what others may have found and willing to share my information.
