General Notes

I'm not going to try to unscramble the ancestors of this Nathaniel HICKMA

[I don't know if this Nathaniel connects with Arthur West.]
Per Sandra E. Wyman's 12 Feb 1996 e-mail: Nathaniel was father of Sarah HI
CKMAN.

ith wife Sarah in Edgecombe Co., NC is closely associated with Thomas DIX
ON in 1748 land.
Per Marie (21 Feb 1996); Nathaniel HICKMAN qualified as executor of Willi
am HICKMAN, deceased.
A record dated 1805 states that William HICKMAN of Jackson Co., GA, and Na
thaniel HICKMAN were sons of Nathaniel HICKMAN, Sr.
