Hello, I've been trying to figure out MARTHA A. !!! I have so far come up with three different maiden names. On her son James W. HICKS b. May 1, 1875 Denton Co., TX d. Oct 12, 1947 Wapanueka, OK. funeral home info I found his mother is listed as Martha Wilson, in her Obit and her daughter's S.S.-5 Application her maiden name is given as WILKENS/INS. The one thing that has stayed consistent is her birthdate and birthplace, June 6, 1856 Williamson Co., TX d. Oct 4, 1929 Denton, Denton Co., TX. ( The third maiden name was on her daughters death certificate, it stated that her mothers maiden name was Walker) In the 1870 Denton Co., TX census, 1st precinct, pg# 123 is this family of Wilson's.
