Greetings, I am seeking information on my family in and around Monroe County, Illinois. Specifically I am researching the following Hicks family.
William Hicks, b. btw. 1792 -1800 in South Carolina, married to Mary
Unknown. This union produced the following children:
Richard Hicks b. 1826 in Kentucky
Cornelius Hicks b. 1827 in Kentucky
James Hicks b. 1830 in Kentucky
William Hicks b. 1832 in Monroe County, Illinois
John Hicks b. 1834 in Monroe County, Illinois
Zilpha Hicks b. 14 Jul 1836 in Monroe County, Illinois
Andrew Jackson Hicks b. 1838 in Monroe County, Illinois
McSwain Hicks, b. 1840 in Monroe County, Illinois
George W. Hicks b. 1843 in Monroe County, Illinois
I believe this family was living in Monroe County in 1840, but I cannot verify it because I cannot find accurate census data for this county for this year. The family moved to Wayne County, Missouri sometime between 1840 and 1850. I have records of them in Missouri for 1850 and 1860. The family then moved back to Illinois prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, as Cornelius, James, and John all were Illinois Volunteers. Cornelius was KIA at Cleveland, Tennessee, and is buried in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
This line is my Father's line, and unfortunately, my personal brick wall. I have my maternal line back to Scotland in 1352, but the Hicks line seems to just stop with William near 1800 in South Carolina…just as if he were magically to appear there.
Any help would greatly be appreciated as I have been working on this for a long time without any success.
Best regards, Greg Hicks Poplar Bluff, Missouri
