- HICKS
- I am seeking information on my great grandfather, TIMOTHY
HICKS, born
about 1802, most likely in Virginia. In 1830, he was in Cocke
County, Tennessee. Incomplete research leads me to believe that he
was the son of David Hicks and Nancy Childress who migrated to Cocke
County from Virginia sometime in the early 1800s. I believe that
David Hicks and Nancy Childress were also the parents of David (jr.),
Susan, and possibly Wiley Hicks. Timothy married Sally_____, born
about 1805, and they had the following children: Susan, b. 1826;
Elizabeth, b. 1828; Nancy, b. 1831; Jonathan, b. 1834; William, b.
1837; and, Sarah, b. 1840 (all dates estimated). Timothy and Sally
could not get along and apparently mutually parted company sometime
in the 1850s. Timothy left Cocke County and came to Jefferson
County, Georgia, and married Jane Eason (born abt. 1830) in 1855. They
had the following children: Gatsy (a female), born about 1856; William,
born abt. 1858; David, born abt. 1860; Timothy, born abt.
1863; Isaac Hast

he was born in Parnell's Valley east TN. I am unable to locate this

- I am part of a group of researchers all looking for the
parents and

12, 1811. We are not sure of the county. We know he spent some time
in Monroe County, TN, prior to 1830. He went to Putnam County, IN,
in 1831. March 3, 1831, he married Lavina FRAZIER in Putnam County,
IN. They later went to Gentry County, MO which is where they lived
the rest of their lives. Lewis died in Gentry County, MO, March 26,
1896. The reason we are interested in Cocke County is that there are
some other CHRISTIANS we've found near Gentry County, MO that may be
relatives and we have recently learned they were born in Cocke
County, TN. Anyone having any information that would help, please
email me. Thank you.
