Keesee-132 and Keesee-85 appear to represent the same person because: duplicate profiles for her husband were merged. these duplicate profiles should also be merged. Thanks!

Keesee-117 and Keesee-85 appear to represent the same person because: Removed mythical Native American parents. Clearly meant to be the same woman, wife of Claiborne Hicks.

Detached mythical “Native American” parents from duplicate.
posted by Kathie (Parks) Forbes
The “Native American” parents are non-existent Internet myths. Elizabeth had no connection to any Native American person.

I think it's pretty unlikely there were two women named Elizabeth Keesee living in the same place at the same time, married to Claiborne Hicks. The Native American parents and marriage to "Nathan" Hicks are unsupported by any evidence.

1820 U.S. Census in Russell County, VA lists Claiborne and family, 1 man over 45, 1 woman over 45, probably the correct couple.

"United States Census, 1820," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XHLJ-2YF : accessed 16 September 2019), Clabourn Hicks, Dickensonville, Russell, Virginia, United States; citing p. 144, NARA microfilm publication M33, (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 141; FHL microfilm 193,700.

Ancestry references a 1787 marriage bond for Elizabeth Keesee and Claiborne Hicks in Pittsylvania County, VA. Record is only abstracted on Ancestry and LDS microfilm #33326 is not digitized, so can't see if there is other information or more names on the bond. This appears to be the correct couple, however.

Do you have a source? I also see her biography has different parents listed compared to linked profiles.

This is a white woman from Virginia who has no connection to any Native American person. The people listed as her parents are completely mythical.

Keesee-117 and Keesee-85 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly meant to be the same person, a white woman from Virginia who married Claiborne -not Nathaniel - Hicks in 1787. She has no connection with any Native American person.

Keesee-117 and Keesee-295 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband and son
