The census states he was born in England (hopefully Cornwall); He was 45 years old in 1870 and 50 years old in 1880. Family says he went to SC and died at about 50 years old. The above man was gone by 1900 census. This William had a wife, Sarah, who was born about 1842-1845 in North Carolina. She had 8 children, all were living in 1900. Children by the census were: Emma Wicks b about 1862 NC. John born about 1864 NC, he married likely about 1882 to Sallie. Alfred born about 1869 NC; he married in 1891 to Caroline Harris. Mary born about 1871 in NC; She married in 1885 to W.A. Kirkman. Cora was born about 1873 in NC. Patty B was born Nov 1877. She may have been called Hattie. William H. was born 1879-1880. His wife was Zillie or Julie. Another child was born after the 1880 census . In 1900 and 1910, Sarah was in Lexington, Davidson Co., NC. The William Harry or Henry Wicks that I am looking for was chr 18 July 1824 in Cornwall. He was 15 in 1841 census. He was in Michigan before going to the Carolina's. Can anyone tell me anything more about this William Wicks in NC that would help to tell if he is the correct man?
