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.
