Hi to everyone researching Clermont... I'm compiling a book on the HICKS family of Clermont... putting together the work of a distant cousin who'd been collecting information for more than 30 years; I'll be glad to share what I have. The Hicks settled in Clermont before 1806. I'd love to find some cousins to fill in some gaps...do any of these names belong to you? Joshua HICKS m. Diana Adams in Rowan Co, NC 1794. Children: 1.
