Life

Thomas Jefferson Hickman was born in Alabama on 8 November 1840, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and does not name his parents.1 The federal census of 1850 lists him as Thos. H. Hickman in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of P. A. Hickman, and that of 1860 as Thomas H. Hickman in the household of Pleasant Hickman; the tree records him as a farmer in Tuscaloosa County in 1860.2 Inference The middle initial H. in both censuses, and the tree's other name "Harvey," suggest that he may have been known by another middle name in his youth; his later records all use Thomas J. or Thomas Jefferson.2 He served in the Confederate army: the Alabama service records hold files for Thomas J. Hickman dated 1861 and 1862, and the tree, without detail, places his service in Virginia or Louisiana.3 On 17 July 1865 he married Minerva McKinney, a daughter of Patrick McKinney, in Jefferson County, Alabama.4 The censuses of 1870 and 1880 recorded the family in Tuscaloosa County, in 1880 at McMath's, and by 1900 they were in Birmingham, where he is recorded that year as a court bailiff, an officer who keeps order in a courtroom.5 The tree names eight sons, among them Charles M. Hickman, a physician, who died in 1903.6 In 1907 he applied for an Alabama Confederate pension and was enumerated in the state's census of Confederate veterans as Thomas Jefferson Hickman.7 The census of 1910 listed Tom Hickman in Birmingham's 7th Ward.8 He died in Birmingham on 3 November 1910 and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Birmingham, where the Find a Grave index records him as Thomas Jefferson Hickman Sr.9 He is named as father in the death records of his sons in Tennessee (1929), Alabama (1942), Texas (1947), Illinois (1948) and Washington State (1952), and in that of his widow in 1934.10
