Janet, I dont think I have anything on Roy's wife, but we are probably some kind of cousins, as my husband traces to John Hicks of Switzerland Co. - through son Joshua and his daughter Charlotte (Hicks) Emerson. He also has Rice, Watts, Kinnett, etc. in Ripley Co. (Mine are all Germans - Rimstidt/Lullman/Homfeld) Have you found any information on Hicks before John and Samuel in Duchess Co. NY? That has been the brick wall. Barbara Rice Lafayette IN
