Hi cousins, I have a strange feeling these Hicks/Browns may be connected to our Queens. I know we have a Laura Queen m to Garner and there is a dau, Melissa, and maybe I am just seeing ghosts here, but...... anyone have any ideas? One of Henson Queen's kids, Cathy, m a Hicks, and we have Daniel Hicks m to Lucy Butler, and Martha Hicks m William Butler, and Martha Jane Hicks m Calvin Butler, and Temple Hicks m Mary Ann Garner (she is dau of Laura Queen & Noah Garner.
