Hicks-Crutcher-Miles Family Gateway
This information is courtesy of Angelia Foley, wife of Keith Shelton Franklin, who is the grandson of Thomas Shelton Hicks (wife Velma V Miles), gr-grandson of Nathan Hicks (wife Virginia "Jennie Bell" E. Hicks - daughter of Shelten Thomas and Elizabeth Crutcher, gr-daughter of William and Milly Crutcher) and gr-gr-grandson of Patrick Martin Hicks (wife- Sallie Calhoun).
"Recently, I have come across some very old photos of these families around 1900-1917 in Model and Dover, Tennessee. I have been researching the family lines and have been able to trace some of these people back to the tree and will upload most of the photos in the attached zip file to the family tree I've created in ancestry.com.
"I know that Sallie Hicks was a teacher in Vinson / Pine Bluff (I have a photo btwn 1915-17) and Thomas S. Hicks was a school teacher (in Linton I think) before 1918 when he went into service for the army in WWI. Once the Nathan Hicks clan moved to Texas, around 1919, Thomas S. and L. Binus Hicks served on the Police force for Fort Worth, Texas from about 1920 through the mid 60's. Nathan and Jennie Bell both died in Fort Worth, Texas - Jennie in Dec 1950 and Nathan died 10 days later in Jan 1951. Velma Miles married Thomas Shelton Hicks and followed him to Fort Worth, along with her brothers Walter, Jesse and Corbert whom all worked as trolley car operators for the City of Fort Worth (photo of the three is attached)."
