Research Notes

We have proof his father was a William Hicks mother Ann.

This does NOT COMPUTE

The William Hicks (1) of the WILL DIED Nov 11 1710, so how can he have a son William (2) born March 10 1714?

This is what the Baltimore County Families 1659 - 1759 page 324 has to say about him.

" HICKS, WILLIAM (2) s. of William (1) and Jane; m. Ann (_____); on 14 May 1730 as eld. s. and heir of William Hicks, dec'd, he was living in Kent Co., Del. when he sold 400 a. to Erick Erickson; had at least one s.: WILLIAM b. 10 March 1714 (72: 262 , 131) "
