George, A very interesting account. A possible descendant of the area Vickery family was "Vickery," the long-enduring 19th-century photographer in Haverhill, Mass. I have an example of of his work from the mid 1860s of Mrs. William LOCKE, who I believe had been a resident of Exeter in the mid to later 1800s.
