My 3-gr.grandfather is listed as Solomon HICKS in the 1900 Census of Henry Township, Wood County, Ohio. His birthplace is listed as "N.Carlinia"; age 73; b: Oct 1826. He is listed as 'Father'; a widower living with his son's family: William R. HICKS (45-b:Ohio; Head), "Allice" (46; Wife), "Cristol" (daughter), Ralph (son), and Lawrence (son). I also found Solomon in the 1880 Census of Holgate, Pleasant Township, Henry County, Ohio. His birthplace is listed here also as "N.C."; age 66. He is a widower with two sons: William (22; also a widower) and Solomon (16). He apparently died before the 1910 Census ... He's not listed in an index, and not with his son William's family (Henry Township, Wood County, Ohio). My question(s): Where is Solomon in the 1870 Census with perhaps a wife and 12-year-old son William & 6-year-old Solomon? Another clue I received from my gr.aunt ... She stated that her grandfather's name was James HICKS. Could he be James S./Solomon HICKS? Finally, could this be a relation to your Solomon? Thanks for any information ...
