After being on AOL's free webspace for many years, AOL suddenly discontinued
giving members webspace, so now I've been forced to move to my own domain to store this site. So I've given the
site a little make-over and moved it here... though I can't promise how often I'll be making updates to the site.
I currently am the National Project Coordinator for Genealogy
Trails History Group, as well as hosting the Coles, Jasper, Kane and Cook
County, Illinois sites there, which doesn't leave me a lot of free time to do my own family's genealogy!
On these pages, I've included census information, obituaries, land, and cemetery information for my Hicks family
and the related families of Wright, Hinton, Thompson, Linthicum, Hensley, Jarrett and Skaggs.
Information on these pages also includes other non-related Hicks folks, as
well as non-Hicks surnames who were in the same place at the same time as my family. For further non-Hicks Jasper
County, Illinois and Coles County, Illinois research, visit my Illinois Genealogy Trails websites. To review my ggg-gf
Ellis Hicks' family available information, click here.
Much of the information you find here was used in my own personal research
and these are excerpts and abstracts.

Ellis Hicks' Family
Information
Background on my ggg-gf Ellis Hicks:
Ellis, for some unknown reason, thought that he was born in Georgia around
1794. All indications are that he was born in West Virginia. However, I've found too many documents
that say Georgia on them to ignore the possibility. He definitely died in Jasper County, Illinois in 1866 and is
buried in Kern's Cemetery, next to his wife Mary Ann Story.
I WAS pretty sure that Ellis Hicks was the son of William and Hannah (Garrad/Jarrett)
Hicks who were married in Greenbrier County, West Virginia in 1783. I have absolutely no written proof of
that (the birth part - not the marriage part). I am now leaning toward the possibility that William and Hannah
were NOT Ellis' parents because of the Georgia birthplace problem and the fact that William and Hannah seemed pretty
much planted in Greenbrier/Kanawha, West Virginia. The travellings of Richard Hicks and his wife Jane Skaggs would
seem to make them much more likely to be Ellis' father. Richard is known to have been to at least Kentucky in the
early 1800's before making his way back to West Virginia. The fact that Ellis did not name any of his children
Richard or Jane, but did name 2 of his children after William and Hannah Hicks says something - I'm just not sure
what! Did they have infants who perhaps died early on that they named Richard and/or Jane? Just another mystery
to add to the collection.
