Uriah Hicks & Hannah Hicks Fox, Abedingo Hicks - Sevier County, TN
There is compelling evidence that Uriah Hicks b. 1814 and Hannah Hicks Fox b. c 1805 were brother and sister, as follows:
In the 1840 federal census for Sevier Co, TN, Abraham & Hannah Hicks Fox lived next door to John Whittle.
Fox, Abraham 1200201 302001
Whittle, John 21210001 0101001
In the household of Abraham Fox were 2 males between 20-30 years old who were not children of Abraham & Hannah. One of these males was probably Uriah Hicks. He was 26 and unmarried at the time.
On 12 Aug 1840, within 1 or 2 months of the 1840 census, Uriah Hicks married Virena Jane Craton Whittle b 1821, eldest daughter of John Whittle, - Abraham Fox’s next door neighbor.
Several of the children of Uriah Hicks and Hannah Hicks Fox, were given same names: each had a son David Uriah, a daughter named Mary Elizabeth, a son named Cicero, a son named John A. or Abraham, and a son named Cicero.
The area where they lived in Sevier Co, TN was the Boyd’s Creek area in the north west part of the county. In this immediate area there were original State of Tennessee land grants to: Richard Haney – 176 acres, Heirs of Abednigo Hicks – 454 acres, Levi Whittle – 147 acres, Thomas Hicks – 88 acres. Though all of these tracts are close to each other, Richard Haney’s, Abendnigo Hicks, and Levi Whittle’s have property lines adjacent to each other. Thomas Hicks was almost adjacent to Heirs of Abednigo Hicks.
The father of Uriah Hicks and Hannah Hicks Fox could be Abednigo Hicks, Thomas Hicks, or some other Hicks.
Hannah Hick Fox named a son Richard Haney (who I descend from) and another son was named John Haney, so I feel sure she descends from Richard Haney somehow. It could be her mother was Richard Haney’s daughter.
It is interesting that family tradition says Hannah’s mother was a Haney and her grandmother a Henry of Patrick Henry lineage. Wish there was some way to prove this.
