Willis Young Ewing HICKS b. 1835 prob in Missouri
Willis Young Ewing HICKS (Willis Y. E. Hicks), born 12 July 1835, is the son of James Madison HICKS and Tabitha BRINK.He died 19 March 1913 in Centralia, Boone County, MO.
Willis' father, James Madison HICKS, born 1808 in Kentucky, joined the Confederate forces in Missouri during the Civil War in 1862.James Madison Hicks had been a farmer, brickmason, and Justice of the Peace in Boone County, MO before the war began.He was 54 years old when he enlisted -- and he died soon thereafter in May 1862 during his encarceration in the Union's Gratiot Street Prison in St. Louis.
Willis Y. E. Hicks married a woman named "Elizabeth J." and they had at least three children - James M., Thomas C. and Tabitha.Does anyone have additional information about Willis Y. E. Hicks, his wife or his family?Did he participate in the Civil War like his father?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
