I notice that you have a Willie Hicks of Gibson County. I am researching a Hicks line from that county and Dyer also. I have a Willie Hicks but my Willie is a male. Do you have any information on your Hicks line? I would love to compare notes. thanks Cassie (cdhouse@juno.com) On Sat, 10 Jul 1999 23:18:02 -0500 "Fisher" <Fisher@hcol.net> writes: >My mother: Dorothy Jean King-Powell married to Raymond Lyndell >Powell.
