Surnames: Hillen, Dickey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lNB.2ACI/4053.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I have not done much research on the Dickeys or Hillens so I cannot answer your question other than according to census records, the elder Hillen had about 17 children with two wives, Lucinda and then Jane Dickey. He had a son named William as well. The census records are often wrong as to dates of birth and places of birth. Maybe sometimes people forgot where and when they were born or the census taker wrote it incorrectly. We'll keep searching.
