Hicks Famliy Bible Record

Covering Brunswick County, Virginia (1788-1861)^[1][2] and Mecklenburg County
Earliest entry is for Daniel Hicks and Fanny Delony's 22 September 1788 marriage (Mecklenburg County marriage bond dated 18 September 1788).^[3]

The transcription here, accessed 8 March 2021, is divided into two sets of mostly duplicate entries. The transcribed entries are preceded by the statement "Hicks Famliy Bible Record; Brunswick County, Virginia (1788-1861)" and a second list of entries follows a second statement: "HICKS BIBLE by Barbara Browder; The photostat of the original is at the Virginia State Archives. The Hicks Bible was published by M. Carey & Son, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 1817."

The transcription by Carol Morrison that she contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives (here), includes the following information: Accession No. 29683, Library of Virginia, continued in Accession No. 29685.

The information on this WikiTree space page combines the information from the two transcriptions in a (mostly) uniform format. See the transcriptions for how the entries read originally.

The transcriptions begin with the entry for the marriage of Daniel Hicks and Fanny Delony and then a list of births - perhaps the 11 initial listings are all children of Daniel and Fanny.

Discussion of Who's Who

See also Space: Hicks Family Wills

• 1857 will (abstract) of Daniel (b c1760), m 1788. Will names daughter Martha and both Jones boys from Bible record. After Martha Hicks' death, Henry Jones is Trustee for Henry's wife Martha and their children. Thomas is executor. Peter Puryear is named as one of the witnesses (the Mary who married Thomas L. Jones is Mary Puryear).

DAR lists Lucy D. Hicks, married Ludwell E. Jones, as daughter of Daniel Hicks.^[13] (At a guess, I would say the D is for Delony.) The transcription of the Hicks Family Bible includes two entries for Joneses:

• Henry E. Jones, born 27 August 1820^[7]
• Thomas L. Jones, born 26 June 1822^[7][8]

The transcription posted by Bluegrass Messengers notes that Henry and Thomas Jones are the children of Daniel's sister Lucy and her husband Ludwell E. Jones.^[14] However, I think that Bluegrass Messengers is confusing sisters Lucinda and Mary Hicks, daughters of Thomas Hicks, who married brothers John and Thomas Jones, sons of Solomon Jones (see Solomon Jones's profile).

As of 26 March 2021, I had not been able to find anything on Ludwell Jones, aside from DAR saying he married Lucy D. Hicks, daughter of Daniel Hicks^[13] and Bluegrass Messengers saying the entries for the birth of Henry and Thomas Jones in the Hicks Family Bible are for sons of Daniel's sister who married Ludwell Jones.

10. ↑ A bit from Carol Morrison's transcription has "married Dr. Benj. Hicks -> Rebecca A. Hicks" - perhaps this Rebecca, who died 1854, had married Dr. Benjamin Hicks?
11. ↑ A separate note in Carol Morrison's transcription is clearer, but still not sure if the Rebecca born is the same one who died 1854 (the text of the codicils would probably shed some light):
    

    NOTE in Bible provides that Rebecca Hicks who married Benjamin Isaac Hicks Dec. 17, 1844, was born Nov. 16, 1823, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Hicks, and is mentioned in her father's (E.B. Hicks) Will dated October 20, 1852, and codicils thereto dated 1852, 1855 and 1858.
