Dortha, I don't know much about the Hicks family. My Thomas booklet gives my gg grandmother (I believe, great, great), Sarah Hicks having married Benjamin Bass of Brunswick Co, VA. I don't know what her parents' names were. Seems to me that I had run across some more information on the Hicks, but can't remember right now. I had thought when I orginally e-mailed you that her father's name was Benjamin Hicks, but that may have been wrong. Sorry if I have led you on a wild goose chase without looking up my information and with just going on faulty memory. If I come across anything else, will try to get back to you on it. Meanwhile, good luck to you. I'm almost sure that I ran across information on Hicks on the web. The family also spelled the name "Hixs" or "Hix," too, I believe. You might check that. Also check Brunswick, Co., VA, and Williamson Co., TN, on early records of Hicks. You might find something there. Sorry I can't be more help right now. Milie
