1756/1767
Elizabeth Hicks married James Vann, Richard Fields, Eliphas Holt and William Campbell.
There were possibly other brothers and sisters, but their names are unknown.
I'll send a clarification on this but I think Charles married Nancy Broom and Nathan married Nan'Ye'Ha, also Nancy Broom.
You show Nathan as being born in Scotland in 1746.
I know a lot of books show the Hicks as being Scottish, but I think they are descendants of Robert Hicks who came from England.
That's not to say he wasn't a Scot however.
Daniel Higdon paid Robert Hicks passage in 1683 and they worked together in the fur trade business from near Emporia, NC.
Nathan Hicks was a white man and various records show him being born anywhere from 1735 to 1754.
As near as I can tell, he was born about 1740-45.
He was married to Nan'Ye'Ha contrary to what most history books show.
This is about as far back as I can trace the Hicks line.
However, I think there is a good likelihood that Nathan may have been the son of Robert (1722-82) and Mary Hicks of Albemarle Parrish, Sussex County, Virginia.
This Nathan was born Nov 6, 1743 and was christened on December 18, 1743.
Don Shadburn's book, Cherokee Planters in Georgia notes on page 302 that in 1836, valuing agents Overlooked the property of Nancy Hicks, which consisted of 2 cabins ($50) In addition, 4 acres of land ($32) located on Chicamauga Creek. This is believed to have been Nathan's wife.
Whether old Nathan or his grandson, I have not
determined.
Nathan's daughter Sarah married Walter Scott.
Daughter Elizabeth married Chief James Clement Vann, Eliphias Holt and Richard Fields and William Campbell.
Robert Hicks was the son of James Hicks, (b. 1700) and Judith Collier. James parents were Robert Hicks, Jr. and I believe Elizabeth Irvin. (Need to check that one.)
Robert Jr. was the son of Robert, the original immigrant who came over from England in about 1683.
Nathan was the father of Chief Charles R. Hicks.
No one has proven the connection between Robert and Nathan.
You may have to check British trading records or something along those lines.
Also check the Feb issue (1994-5) of the NC Genealogical Journal for an article on tri-racial marriages by James Logan Colbert.
He seems certain that this line leads to ours and I am inclined to agree.
Might be 95 and 96, it was in two installments.
It mentions a lot of the names you just did.
Regards,
Bill
The following is from Vern:
Nathan and Nan’Ye’Ha had two children, Charles Renatus Hicks and William Hicks.
Charles is our guy.
His information is above.
William Hicks married TOCOEYEEKA .
William and Tocoeyeeka were shown as the parents or guardians of George Hicks a student.
George was the son of Charles Hicks and “Chiuke”.
Charles was the brother of William so George was his nephew.
They must have been guardians while he attended school.
William was Principle Chief from 1826 to October 13, 1828.
