Lincoln County Researchers: I was recently passed along some information from a SULLIVAN researcher that suggest that Cornelius W. SULLIVAN was a grandson of Thomas Oscar WICKER Sr. and Mary HESTER. The initial W in Cornelius' name probably stood for WICKER. Thomas Oscar WICKER Sr. and Mary HESTER were the parents of Temperance that was the wife of Joseph SULLIVAN. The researcher believed that they were originally from New Kent County, VA before settling in Chatham Co., NC and then William and Temperance moving on to Lincoln County. Has anyone else seen anything on this question?

Thank you Sherry. I have gone over all I can find from the many of Patricia West bibles I have found in the "Pioneers" on the Gilbert's. No clue to my Edith Gilbert mother of Margaret Gilbert wife of Pinkney Pylant. But thought Patricia still might be able to help. Julia
