Hello cousins, Vick, TX is just east of San Angelo and south of Abilene. The county seat is Paint Rock, and perhaps they would have information on how the town was formed. Vickie

Hi Norene and list, I have an overlay of a map showing Vick, TX but can't post it here if you would like I will send it direct to you. Jim Vick Verona, Italy

DI Ann, thanks for the information. I was very sure there was a connection, but didn't know what, exactly. I also thought this might be a way to get some action going on this site again. It has been pretty slow lately. While we are on the subject. There is a town called Vick, Texas. Does any one have any information about this town. It is, also, now pretty much gone. There are 4 houses there. I think some are stationary mobil homes. It is just south and a little east of San Antonio. Just east of Eden. I called a Gail Stevenson who lives in Eden. He was raised there. He said his father was going to call the town town Gail after him, but there was already a town in Texas called Gail, so his father decided to call it VIck after a neighbor. (Also Vick is a short, easy name to remember, his father said). He didn't know which Vick or know much else about it. Does anyone know which Vick the town was named after? Thanks Norene (in not so windy NM today, thank goodness for small favors.) ---------- > From: Di Ann Vick <davick@bellatlantic.net> > To: VICK-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [VICK-L] Vicksville, Virginia > Date: Tuesday, April 25, 2000 7:09 AM > > Why, heavens to Betsy, Norene -- > > Vicksville is in the heart of "Vick Country" in Southampton County, VA and > it is indeed named for that family we all know and love so much.

Why, heavens to Betsy, Norene -- Vicksville is in the heart of "Vick Country" in Southampton County, VA and it is indeed named for that family we all know and love so much. I suspect that there may be a bus tour of the area as part of the reunion and that Vicksville will be on the tour. Descendants of Joseph2 lived in the area (I think some still do). The pending Newsletter has (I think) some neat stories about the Vicks who lived in that area in the 19th century. As soon as the reunion plans are complete, we will get the Newsletter in the mail and hopefully stir up a lot of interest in this year's gathering! It's windy in Philadelphia today, too -- but nothing like those incredible winds you get in New Mexico.

Hi Everyone, I was just looking over an (old, Jan. 2000) email from a distant cousin of mine. He said he was looking at maps of Virginia and noticed that about 20 miles southwest of Isle of Wight, there is a town called Vicksville. He said he had been trying to find some info on the internet about the town but had found nothing. He was wondering of there was any connection between the town and our family. Can anyone out there answer this question for us? Thanks, your cousin in WINDY New Mexico. Norene

Hoping to help and be helped. Looking for ancestors of Sarah Vick, 1829-1877 in SC, m. Daniel Wadsworth my g-grandfather. I have more info on the Wadsworth's but next to nothing on this Vick line. Thanks.

Hello Vick List, Friends and Family. It has been awhile since I have had anything to say. That's because I didn't have anything to say.... Grin Well I have a small thing to say now but it's not Genealogy related. So to not offend anyone please close your eyes to go on if you don't want to read anything that is not genially related.... Hmmmmm how would that work now!!!! Okay enough fun stuff. Here is what I would like to tell all my cuz'en and Family and Friends out there like Jim Vick in Italy and folks that have children travailing around the world like Cuz'en Bob in Tx. Howdy Bob. Pal-Talk is a free program that lets you talk into your mic plugged into the back of your PC to anyone else that has the Pal-Talk program installed on there PC. I know most of you guys already know this stuff. Since it was new for me I thought it might be for some of you as well. It is a small program and it sounds very good. Almost as good as the phone. The price is much much better and you can talk with two or three family members at the same time anywhere in the world and it is free. Or of course we could have a good old Vick reunion if some of us get the program downloaded and signed up. Just use your Screen name. I will send anyone that would like to try it a site to download from or you can search Pal-Talk and that should get it for you. When you get hooked up and want to talk give me a call at "GOOD2NEWS" Okay kids everybody get back to what you were doing.

Jack, Since you brought it up, I have been reading "The Confederate Carpetbaggers" - Daniel E. Southerland. The quote that made me buy the book was " Any Southerner with ambition will leave the south" noting the many northern addresses, I assume the Vick's were/are ambitious. This book explains the various motivations and the different paths taken after the war. I am amazed at the amount of travel and suffering in the south and the general acceptance of the southerner in the north. Some say as many as 20,000 southerners were in New York in 1870, but the census only counted 9,000.

Good morning Di Ann, Thanks for trying, after receiving your message I rechecked the petition filed by my grandmother Dora Arthur and found that she lived in Harris County in 1957. My grandfather and grandmother J. H. and Dora Arthur did own a dairy farm in or near Lufkin at one time I believe they still lived there when my mother got married in about 1918. My grandfather died in 1932, my grandmother Dora Arthur filed a petition in the Angelina County Court in 1957 to settle the estate. I believe that today a supper highway runs through where my grandparents home once stood. I'm going to try and search for my grandmother in Harris County now. Again Thanks, Jim Vick Verona, Italy

Good Morning Di Ann & Joe, Just returned from deep sea fishing off the Outer Banks of NC. Had fair luck, 14 Yellow Fibn Tuna & 1 Mai Hai?, Dolphin, the fish. Oh yes, some good eating!!!!!!! Di, I have not heard anything from Portsmouth re: the reunion. If I can be of any help let me know, however,!!!! I am running between SC, & FL, & Ok, my ailing brother, and Mississippi, my ailing father-in-law. And talk about bad timing we put our house on the market before all of the regretable situations occurred. I am now in SC in response to an offer on the house & some minor problems which had to be taken care of. Joe, I received your mail with the $5.00 check from William Vick.

Dear Jean, I asked the same questions as you when I first joined this list! I am descended from your Lula Vick's sister Talitha Ann Vick. Di Ann Vick and John Beatty on this list are writing a book about the Vicks and John sent the following reply to my earlier inquiry: Ron, Let me comment on William Henry Vick. Actually there were more than one in North Carolina at the same time, which can be confusing. Nancy's line for her William Henry [6] is correct: Matthew [5] Nathan [4] Richard [3-2]. The OTHER William Henry Vick, the one in your line, was born in 1839 and married Della Francis Denton. He was the son of Reddin [6?] Vick and Charlotte (Holland). Reddin is a very, very hard line to trace, and in our book we've had a difficult time placing him. Right now we've placed him tentatively as the son of Robert [5] Vick by his wife Piety/Patsy Davis, who had land holdings in Edgecombe and Pitt Counties, but who died before 1844 in Greene County, NC. This line is not proved. Robert [5] was the son of Robert [4] Isaac [3] William [2]. There is a tradition in the family of Christine Capone of New Jersey that Reddin was the nephew of Providence Vick of Edgecombe County, but no proof. Reddin first appears on the census in 1820 in Pitt County, NC, as Reddin "Wick", near his brother Frederick. As Robert [5] had holdings in Pitt County, we can only place him with Robert circumstantially. I show Reddin being born ca. 1794 and died before 1850, probably in Edgecombe County. I have not found the marriage of Reddin to Charlotte, but I show the following list of children: David, b 1826; m. Emmaliza Harris; Reddin Ashley, b. 1828; m. (1) Penina Lane, (2) Abigail Anderson; Nancy, b. 1831, m. David O'Neal; Malvena J, b. 1833; m. William C. Rose; Lorenzo, b. 1836, d. 17 Sep. 1862 while serving in Co. F, 30th NC Infantry; and Willam Henry, b. 1839, m. Della Frances Denton. Reddin has a very difficult line. I can find no land records for him, nor can I find him in 1830 on the census. In 1840 he was the Redding Vick in Edgecombe County. I hope this helps. Maybe you've found some additional information on Reddin? John I can add a little on the Denton line. Della Frances Denton (b. 1843 in Battleboro, NC, d. 1898) was the daughter of Campbell Denton (b. about 1809 in NC, d. between 1860-1870 in Edgecombe County (?)) and Elizabeth Etheridge (b. about 1820 in NC, d. after 1870). Campbell and Elizabeth were married before 1841 in NC. I have done some more research on the Dentons, but I haven't tied it all together yet. I still need to sort it out and fill in some blanks, but I think we'll be able to get at least a couple more generations on the Dentons. Have you looked into these other lines yet? I'd love to compare notes with you. Let me know if I can be of further help. Ron Raymond Knoxville, TN

Well, folks, I'm apologizing again. Due to situations completely beyond my control, plans for the July reunion, which are to be mailed out with the April Newsletter, have not been completed and will not be until the beginning of May. Rather than do two expensive mailings, we are delaying the Newsletter until we can mail the reunion reservation forms with it. Incidentally, are there any of you in the Portsmouth, Virginia, area who would be willing to help with planning and hosting the reunion? Di Ann

Searching for any information regarding the family of my ggrandmother, Levinda "Lula" Vick, b. 12/15/1870, d. 8/26/1950 in Newport News, VA who married Robert Wilson Pittman, b.10/2/1869 in Halifax, NC. d.8/20/1926 in Rocky Mount, NC.. They married 11/23/1892 in Halifax, NC. She remarried after Robert's death to William "Billy" Harrell. Her parents were William Henry Vick and Della Frances Denton. I believe William's parents were Redden Ashley Vick and Charlotte Holland. Would appreicate any info and be willing to share info regarding Lula's descendants. Thanks. Jean Pittman Priest

Shucks, Jim -- Why didn't you tell me that you wanted pictures of your family tombstones? I just got back from Texas and was in Lufkin -- researching your family! I'll be going back in October -- just give me the particulars about where your family is buried and I'll see if I can't take the pictures for you.
