Sallie, "Sketches of William Hicks, Abner Hicks, Jasper Hicks, George Harris, James Crews, John Earl and Something of Some of Their Descendants With comparisons of present conditions of living with those of sixty years ago," by Thurston Titus Hicks, privately published September 1926, Henderson, NC ------ about the author: Thurston Titus Hicks, b 14 Oct 1857- d 28 July 1927; born at White Oak Villa, Granville Co, son of Benjamin Willis Hicks and Isabella Jane Crews married: Mary E. Horner occupation: attorney (in 1889 he was mayor of Henderson) ----- In "Sketches," T.T. Hicks outlines his knowledge of the family of George Harris and Keziah Earl. T.T. Hicks is a descendant of this family through the line of George & Keziah's daughter, Elizabeth, who married Abner HICKS. The book is not indexed, making it difficult to check on a single individual. However, the following are the lines of George Harris (as outlined in the book) and may enable you to determine if your line is in the family of George Harris & Keziah Earl. If ANYONE has corrections or additions to the following, I think it would be very helpful for these to be posted to the list. -Sandy -- email: [email protected] Vance County, NCGenWeb: http://lightning.prohosting.com/~ncvance/ ================ >From “Sketches,” by T.T.
