Life

John Hicks was born in Morgan County, Georgia, on 15 February 1818, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place and does not name his parents.1 The tree places him as a child in Morgan County in 1820, in Coweta County, Georgia, in 1830 and in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1840, but no census record for those years is attached to him.2 On 25 August 1838 he married Caroline McKinney, a daughter of Eli McKinney, in Chambers County; some index entries give 26 August.3 The tree names six children, born between 1839 and 1849: Amos Eli, James Harris, John A., William Thomas, Nancy Ann and Joseph Tillman Hicks.4 The federal census of 1850 lists John Hicks as the head of a household in Chambers County, that of 1860 in Randolph County, and those of 1870 and 1880 in the Rome election precinct of Tallapoosa County, Alabama, with his wife Caroline each time.5 According to the tree, his son William Thomas died in 1862 and his son John A. in 1865.6 John Hicks died in Tallapoosa County on 24 December 1894 and was buried in the Old Sharon Primitive Baptist Cemetery at Reeltown, in that county.7 His widow died at Dadeville in 1897.8 A Texas death record of 1926 for J. D. Morgan, perhaps that of his daughter Nancy Ann, names him as a parent.9 An English christening record of 1854 for an Alfred Hicks is attached to his profile; it concerns a family in England and is not his.10
