John Andrew Hickman & Emily Carter
Click here to read the obituary of John Hickman, who died at age 97 in 1909.
Information provided by Jerry Hickman in 2004 about the photos he contributed —
This is the photo of my Great Great Grandparents, John Andrew & Emily (Carter) Hickman.
My grandfather had written on the back of the photo “Grandpa Hickman; Age 55; Cleveland, TN.”
With the age, I was able to determine that the photo should be from the year of 1871.
John & Emily lived on a farm just south of the Julian Gap in the White Oaks Mountains of Bradley County.
The farm was in the Hickman name for nearly 100 years before it was sold around 1940 or so.
Both are buried in Lee Cemetery, along with several other family members, near the old homeplace.
The family photo of Russell Carson & Mary Elizabeth (Williams) Hickman was taken around 1905 or 1906 in Wapanucka, Indian Terr., now Oklahoma. This would have been about five or six years after their move from Bradley County. Names are as follows;
Top row ; L – R : Andy Fletcher, (my grandfather), Minnie, Elyah, & Viola.
Bottom row ; L- R : Dona, Russell Carson, Robert, Mary Elizabeth, Herschel, & William.
Russell was the eighth child of nine born to John & Emily Hickman. All but Robert & Herschel were born in Bradley County.
