I don't have either of my actual CREECH OR HICKS files out ... and cannot pull them out tonight. I'm still in the midst of posting records on my dad's maternal lines to my Ancestry.com Online Family Tree ... but interrupted myself to try to catch up on some of my e-mail before it falls off the bottom of the list. Now, I find myself getting all caught up in this CREECH discussion (so I may never make it to bed, tonight)! I'll try to take a look for your Lydia HICKS sometime later on in the week, if at all possible. Naomi H. P.S. My Stephen Nelson CREECH moved over into Hawkins Co., TN, from Harlan Co., KY, sometime during the 1850s.
