I have my HICKS line back to Samuel HICKS, SR. of Henrico Co., VA, born1790. We think his father was Henry HICKS. My PHELPS line goes back to Enoch PHELPS born abt 1774 in NC. He had a brother, James S. PHELPS, and their father may be a Moses PHELPS found in Edgefield District, South Carolina as early as 1788. Enoch and James are known to be of Edgefield District, South Carolina. Moses was the only PHELPS in Edgefield District on the 1790 census and he had 2 males in his household that were of the right age to be Enoch and James. He was the only PHELPS in the area prior to 1790 as far as we have found in our research. I have more info if your are interested. Please let me know if either of these lines may connect to your HICKS and PHELPS. Davine Roberts DavineR@aol.com Jacksonville, FL
