There is another researcher on this line that you might wish to contact. Samuel and Sarah came to Meigs County in 1880 from Bradley Co. This appears in "Meigs County, TN and Its People 1836-1997". It also stated that Samuel was the s/o of Vatchell Bates Hickman and Dafney Bales of Bradley Co., TN. Helen
