Research Notes

According to her obituary her headstone death date is wrong. Bishop-4082 04:36, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

According to several family trees, Levi J Gilcrease died shortly after their marriage and she remarried to William H. Hicks. Bishop-4082 22:53, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Received an e-mail sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 10:53 AM via the private messaging system on WikiTree.com from Marsha Graham, a direct descendant of Penny Ann Hicks. "From my mother I learned Penny Ann raised her daughter's 3 girls - Bertha Ann (m. William Franklin Lyon), Pallie Jane (m Westmoreland) and Levy Pearl (m. Mahaffey). Penny's daughter, Levy Jackson Gilcrease died soon after Pearl was born. Her husband, Johnathan Pierce Stubbs, tried to have the girls raised by different relatives but Penny stepped in and took in all three. Penny's first husband was a Gilcrease (Levi I., I believe). I've seen Gilcrease spelled many ways so I don't know which spelling is accurate. They were only married a few years when Levi died (or left). Penny's second marriage was to "Hub" Hicks. Penny and Hub raised several grandchildren. That's a synopsis of my research, through my mother. I'm going through my records research (from about 30 years ago) and trying to scan the sources used to verify all of the above info. ..." Bishop-4082 16:27, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

Noted that Gilcrease, Gillcrease, and Gilchrist all variations for each other. Bishop-4082 16:27, 4 May 2016 (EDT)
