Biography
- Mary was born about the year 1755 to William White and Sophia Davenport White of Culpeper County, VA. When she was a young girl her parents and a large party of extended family moved to Craven County, South Carolina. While there, she married George Hickman in 1772. In 1775, she and George moved with the extended family again, to Burke County, NC. There they owned a farm and raised a large family. According to the census records, there were at least 10 Hickman children. Only the younger children are documented. In 1805, George had died and Mary was about to be remarried. The court appointed a guardian for her minor children, Elizabeth, Thomas, Keziah, and Paris. They chose the children's grandfather, William White. Their son Thomas, age 16, was apprenticed to John Tucker, a blacksmith. Mary's second husband was reportedly a Mr. George Taylor of Wilkes County. As yet, I have not found documentation for this.

- Isaac Hickman> Tennessee
- Sarah Hickman, who married John Dowell> Jackson County, TN
- Reuben Hickman> Casey County, KY

- Keziah Hickman married Reuben Henson in Burke County 1809> Franklin County , TN with Thomas White, John Wiseman, and Joshua

There are duplicates of several members of this family. Trying to merge them before I add more biographies and sources. Mary White and Mary White Hickman are the same person. Please read Davenport-1022 for source
