Biography

Ephraim was born before 1665. [1] He passed away after 1737. [2]

Most records list Hannah Wells as his wife; the couple was married in 1712. While that may be a fact, she could not have been the mother of his children born prior to 1700. I have not yet been able to track down the name of his first wife.[3]

Note that this surname is routinely spelled as Hicks and Hix.

Hix-180 and Hicks-7563 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates. The image shown on the profile of Hicks-7563 shows the spelling of the LNAB was "Hicke". This is not a typical spelling of the family name, and Wikitree does allow deviating from a spelling that is extremely unusual. But it is closer to "Hicks" than "Hix", and maybe even is a mis-transcription of "Hicks", so Hicks seems to be the best proxy for this particular LNAB spelling.
