Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/396 Surname: Holtsclaw, Isaacs, Hicks ------------------------- Thank you Janice, I was born in the Chestnut Dale Community on Squirrel Creek Rd, in Avery Co. My grand uncle Richard Isaacs is as far back as I have been able Go. Maybe Richard was a brother to one of your Isaacs. The Holtsclaw, Isaacs and Hicks were about the same age, b. within 10 yrs of each other app. 1870-1880. If you have more info to send, please do. Mean while I will round up all the Isaacs Family, with as many dates as possible. By the way I left AVERY Co, in 1953 at the age of 17. Red
