Terry:Thanks for all the information, both Terry and I have been working on that problem for a long time.
First:The history on Chas Medlock and suits:
Sources: Anson and Richmond Ct Records (fhl films) also
Warren and Hancock Co Ct Records films and Federal Ct Records from Cumberland Co Area - NC.
1773- Anson - Account of Chas Medlock, guardian to orphans of John Hicks dec.John Husbands, note Cash pd Mrs. Kershaw, Stephen Jackson, Elisha Parker, William Speed, WILLIAM HICKS, Morgan Brown, Robert Thomas, Hent and Tanney, William Haney, Wm Pickett,Sheriff. Andr Gibson. Vouchers all destroyed by "British and Tories" Michael Auld, Clerk.
1787 (Richmond Ct Records p. 111 mention both a Charles and a Benjamin Hicks)
1787- Richmond Ct Oct - John Husbands Vs Charles Medlock, James Pickett and John Jackson-jury sworn - result NON SUIT
IBID) John HUsbands, Guardian of Martha Hicks vs C. Medlock, James Pickitt, John Jackson - same jury as above-find NON SUIT.
1788- Richmond Ct Records(July) p. 152 - John Husbands Decd. also Isreal Snead LWT proved in court.
(IBID) Oct. 1788 - Legacy bequested to Francis Husbands - on estate of Isreal Snead. Proved by Maj Solomon and John Sneed, Act Exerc.
1789 - Rich. Ct Records p. 165 - Martha Hicks VS Charles Medlock.Jury sworn - Find for the Defendant - Appeal granted.
1792 - Rich Ct July p.232- Martha Hicks applee Vs. Wm Wall Appleant: Jury sworn - find for the plaintiff - sum of 10 pds, five shillings, six pence.Motion appealed prayed & denied.
1795- Rich. Ct Oct - Ordered that Wm Wall be appt guardian of Daniel Hicks Dec'd heirs.
Charles Medlock has moved to Warren Co Ga along with his son George.Charles dies there in 1797 and George dies there in 1800.In the administration of George Medlocks estate the following suits from Martha Hicks Vs Estate Of Medlock:
1809 - Suit from Martha Hicks...fee pd attorney
1812 - Fee paid attorn in Martha Hicks Suit
1814 - Fee pd for expenses to Fayettevile & Willimington and money pd for bill of injunction in Equity against Martha HIcks.
1815 - Fee pd attorney. case of Martha Hicks
1816 - Fee pd atorney case of Martha Hicks-
No payment to Martha Hicks was found -
Fed. Circuit Records - 1818- Hicks Vs Smith (ex for G. Medlock) "the defendants have leave to withdraw plea"I was never able to find out exactly what Martha Hicks wanted.
So from 1772 - 1816, Martha Hicks was tenanious and we were trying to find out her connection to the family of Medlock as well as why the continuing suits. Martha sued several others for a lengthy time.The Sneads, Medlocks, Haileys/Haleys all lived on Solomon's creek on North Side of Pee Dee River in Anson then Richmond Co NC(1779). Chas Medlock was a JP also a JAMES HICKS was a JP in Richmond Co beginning in 1780.William Hicks is mentioned several times in the records as a Juror.Daniel HIcks and Sarah his wife were admin. of the estate of John Donalson, dec who admin. Nicholos Stone dec, estate.A Charles Hicks is mentioned as constable in 1780.
Abtract of NC Wills by Olds lists in Anson Co:1760- Hicks, John and Obedience (wife) ; William, John, Frances, Mary and Sarah and also 1774 - Husbands, John and wife Tabitah - no children mentioned.In Richmond Co - 1788 - Snead,Isreal includes a Francis Husbands and Martha and Frances Hicks.
From other records and the Hamer connection:Ordinary Lic. granted John Hamer Sr. Bond: Chas Medlock and Thos Wade. This in Anson Co1768 .
The Hamer and Husband families were early NC land owners.John Husbands granted patent 5 Dec 1760 on SW side of Pee Dee near Griggs and Howells. Pat Book 15 p. 325 - Gov. Dobbs
and in May 1757 - John Hamer received a land patent of 150 Acres in Anson-SSide of Pee Dee joining John Newberry. Dobbs Royal Gov.At the moment, I can find no more on the Hicks family..tho I am reviewing all the estate, county and court records via the FHL films.Should I run across more on William Hicks.I will post it here.Mary Jean Zimmerman
