Peter Hicks and Sally Davenport of Spotsylvania, VA,
Khaki Berry 9/24/10
Evidence that he did live at least to 1850 is the census entry as follows;
1850c Spotsylvania Co. Va. Series: M432 Roll: 977 Page: 400
Household Gender Age Birthplace
Peter Hicks M 81 Virginia
Sally Hicks F 77 Virginia
I have been trying to identify the parents of Joseph Hicks said b. ca 1785 Spotsylvania Co. Va. md. Elizabeth Pendleton 1/15/1807 Spotsylvania Co. Va.
I recently found the following at http://crhc.pastperfect-online.comhttp://crhc.pastperfect-online.com and I believe it reflects some sort of relationship to Peter:
Catalog Number 1999-072-022-003-005
Object Name Box, Document
Scope & Content Power of Attorney - Henry Towles to Peter Hicks
Creator Court
Title Court Records
Collection Spotsylvania County
People
Brent, Martin
Davenport, John
Hicks, Joseph
Hicks, Peter
Towles, Henry
Search Terms Spotsylvania County
Powers of Attorney
The website I referenced above has several entries now that show Peter involved with various Hicks, Pendletons, Duvalls, Towles, etc.
Since I got my one time dream trip to Virginia, I will have to wait for other researchers to actually see and decipher these many documents at the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center. Sigh!
