Thanks for the info, I am looking for names beyond him, I have Malinda's mom and Dad but cant  get any further on John.

Answer 2

This says his father was John C and his mother, Maude. They lived in Tippah County, Mississippi in 1860. This census show John A as age 3.

"United States Census, 1860", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6GX-X4D : accessed 8 April 2016), John A Hickman in entry for John C Hickman, 1860.

Comments

I also found this showing a John Hickman married to an Elizabeth Smith listed on a death certificate for a John J Hickman who died in Louisiana in 1954 could they be connected?

"Louisiana Deaths Index, 1850-1875, 1894-1956," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F39M-PDH : accessed 8 April 2016), John Hickman in entry for John J Hickman, 19 May 1954; citing Monterey, Concordia, Louisiana, certificate number 5865, State Archives, Baton Rouge; FHL microfilm 1,574,392.

 

Also found these for John A. You might research these and find out something one way or another about if this is him.

Answer 3

According to FamilySearch.org,

John Asbury Hickman, born  8 Apr 1858 in Mississippi, died 31 Oct 1918 in Arkansas.  Buried in Pine Hill Cemetery, Jonesboro, Craighead county, Arkansas.

His father is listed as, John C Hickman (1834-?) and his mother was Manda Rains (?-?).

John C's parents were William Hickman (?-?) and Cintha Britton (?-?).  Married 8 Mar 1841 in Madison Alabama.

William's parents were Nathaniel L Hickman (1795-1851) and Sarah (Sally) Lee (1801-1850).  Married 28 Dec 1819 in Madison Alabama.

Hope this helps.
