I am trying to find a Sarah Hicks. She was first married to a John DONALDSON in SC before the Rev. War. During the war, they moved to NC, just across the state line and Donaldson bought a lot of property. They had three sons, John,Peter, William. John D. must have gotten sick, for he made a will and died in 1781, during the war. The widow then married DANIEL HICKS, who had known John Donaldson in the war. Hicks sells all of Sarah's property, and they disappear from the area, all but the oldest son, John, who moves back to SC and marries. I stumbled across DANIEL HICKS filing for his pension in Mecklenburg Co.,1832 and again trying to get bounty land for his past service in the war in 1855. I could not find him on the 1850 census of Mecklenburg. I am trying to find his wife, Sarah, and her two boys. They must have returned with him to his family home in Brunswick Co. and then moved to Mecklenburg Co. Any help with running down Sarah will be much appreciated.
