I am researching the name of Hickman from Surry Co. The family that I am researching lived in the White Plains area. There was a John and William Hickman that showed up in Surry Co. around 1790 to 1800. William Hickman, Sr. and his brother John, owned land in Grayson County, Virginia before moving to Surry County, North Carolina. The first they obtained was in 1814 and appeared on the tax list in 1815. William married Anna Hutchins - born VA - died around 1840 Surry Co. - William was born unknown in Maryland - died around 1817 at Cadles Creek, Surry Co. William had a son named Thomas Jefferson - born 1810 Surry Co. - died 12 April 1894 McCreary Co., KY - he married (18 December 1855 in Surry Co.) Mahala Taylor - born 13 July 1831 in VA - died 22 December 1905 McCreary Co., KY. Mahala was Thomas Jefferson's second wife. His first wife was a Mary Needham - born unknown - died around 1860 Surry Co. Thomas and Mary were married on 23 December 1845 in Surry Co. It is said that Mahala's family was possibly neighbors to the Hickman's. Would like to find anyone that would have any info on the Taylor or Hickman families in that area. Thanks in advance Gary L.
