SOME NAME DROPPERS
Looking for information on Effie Evelyn Boyer date of birth, Dec. 25, 1892 in Dexter, MO. She married Charles Finus Black in Mo, around the Dexter, Malden area. They moved to Michigan where they both died there. They had many children but only three lived, Paul Basil Black, Chester Nathaniel, and Arron Roy. All we know is she had a sister they called Idie and she married a Christian and later moved to Michigan. Effie Evelyn Boyer's father was suppose to have only been about six years old when they came from Frankfort, Germany. We have no names of her parents or other siblings. Should you come across any information that might help us we would be so grateful. We are at a brick wall and don't know where else to look.

922 Mango Dr., Casselberry, FL 32707Unfortunately, I have very little on my HICKMAN ancestors. I have no idea where William Hickman was from 1783 (his reported birth in NC) until the 1850 Census in Cedar County, Mo. which showed William b. 1783 NC, Patsy b. 1797 NC, Elizabeth b. 1826 NC and Sophia b. 1847 Mo. living in the same household .
Were they part of the Morman movement then moving through Mo? I think not, but I have no proof one way or the other. Then there are the names of the sons - Alexander b. 1860 Cedar Co., Mo. Could he be named after Patsy's father as was much of the custom in those days? Johnson Lincoln, b. 1865, (my grandfather); Lincoln is easy to understand (they are still Republican to this day), but could Johnson have been the name
of his father? Again, the custom of naming the 2nd son after the father. There was a John Hickman buried in Corry Cemetery (closest cemetery to where they lived). This was reported in a May 31 edition of the Greenfield Vedette which listed all of the veterans of all wars buried in Dade Co., Mo. It indicated he fought in the Civil War as a Union soldier. There is no stone to mark the grave and Harry Hickman was unable to locate any information in the archives in Washington. There are no other Hickmans buried n this cemetery. I can find no connection to other Hickmans in Cedar Co. They came there after the civil war and were also from NC (as were many of the residents of Cedar Co). They were descendants of another William Hickman, date of birth and death unknown who married JaneTalbot. William Hickman Sr., b. 1790, d. abt 1817 in Cadles Creek, Surry Co., NC is the only child I have of this union. William Sr. married Ann ? and they had 5 children: William Hardin Hickman m. (1) Gemina Creed and (2) Lucinda Whitaker Draughan. They all died in Surry Co., NC. Between the two wives, William Harden Hickman had 13 children, 2 of which settled and died in Cedar Co., Mo. Gabriel, b. 1832, d. 1898, and John Dillard Hickman, b. 1844, d. 1876. I have extracted this information from material sent to me by Gretta Wyman which was quite lengthy.In addition to researching the HICKMAN family, I am also interested in DAVIS, DUNCAN, WALKER families. I have the Davis family back to England and the Walkers to Scotland. Duncan back to the early 1700s.
I will, of course, be happy to share any information.

812 Braeburn Drive, Ft. Washington, MD 20744-6021According to Joseph Hickman's Bible record, published by Hester & Edward Smith of Birmingham, AL, his mother was born 22 September 1766; his father, William, on 25 December 1756. Hes and Ed, very reliable researchers, gave the name of William's wife as Ann without citing source. At the time of William's death on Monroe County, MO in 1834 his wife's name was Rachel. As Joseph Hickman, the oldest child, was born on 15 November 1787, his father was approximately 31 years old when he was born and his mother about 21. The marriage must have occurred in or prior to early 1787.
One step in trying to identify the parentage of Joseph Hickman's mother is to see where they were living at the time they married. Although the Jefferson County, AL census record of 1860 shows that both Joseph and his wife, nee Martha Pullen, were born in SC, that could have been the place of their earliest memories rather than the actual place of their births. As William Pullen lived in Wilkes County, GA prior to, during, and after 1790, Martha was probably born there.
So let us see where William Hickman was after serving in the Revolution from Rowan County, NC. After his father (Joseph) died before 6 August 1787, the heirs signed a deed dated 1795 to one Frederick Fisher. At the time the deed was dated (1795), William and Benjamin Hickman were living in Pendleton District, SC. But some 6 years prior to that, William, Joseph, and Benjamin Hickman (brothers) were in Wilkes County, GA. William witnessed the deed of Robert Killgore to John Holmes in Wilkes County on 13 November 1789, and Joseph witnessed the deed of William Magee to Ebenezer Starnes on 13 July 1790. William and Benjamin appeared on the 1790 "census" record of Wilkes County, GA (compiled from tax lists).
Deed book OO of Wilkes County, GA reflects a deed by Henry Lowry of Pendleton County, SC to Robert Kilgore of Wilkes County, dated 24 January 1797, witnessed and proved by William Hickman. One would have to see the deed itself to see where it was executed and proved. However, as William Hickman received a land grant in Pendleton District, SC on 4 February 1799, which was surveyed for him on 17 January 1798, it is probable that the Lowry deed was executed in Pendleton District, SC. Thus, William Hickman must have moved from Wilkes County, GA, to Pendleton District, SC
approximately between 1790 and 1799.It is likely, then, that Joseph Hickman was born in GA, possibly NC or on the way to GA which may have included a stopover in SC. But we know that the census record showing Martha Pullen Hickman of 1860 is almost certainly wrong as William Pullen, her father, lived in Wilkes County, GA in 1790 when she was born. Joseph Hickman (son of William) must have returned from Pendleton District, SC, for he married Martha in Wilkes 19 March 1807.
All this prompts these questions and speculation: As William moved to Pendleton District, SC around 1795 at least, Joseph would have been only about 8 years old, hardly old enough to form an emotional attachment to 6 year old Martha. So, why did he return to Wilkes County, GA? The logical answer is that he had relatives or close family friends there. And who all was in the party that moved from Wilkes County, GA to Pendleton District, SC in the 1790's besides William and Joseph Hickman (if any)? One common denominator seems to have been Henry Lowry who sold land in Wilkes while living in Pendleton District, SC. Another may be John Lowry who also lived in Wilkes County, GA and perhaps in Pendleton District, SC. A John Lowry is mentioned in a number of entries in Old Rowan County, NC from whence the Hickmans came to GA.
If the Lowry families of Rowan County, NC; Wilkes County, GA; and Pendleton District, SC are the same, there is a strong possibility of a family connection with the Hickmans . . . such as the wife of William at that time having been a Lowery. John Lowry sold land in Wilkes County, GA in 1793 and witnessed along with William Hickman, the deed of Henry Lowry then of Pendleton District mentioned earlier. Thus, it looks like all three moved from Wilkes to Pendleton District around the same time.
William Hickman witnessed two different land transactions for members of the Little family in Rowan County, NC and there were numerous Little families in Wilkes County, GA. But there was nothing in the GA records to indicate any connection there and no coincidence of first names.
An analysis needs to be done of the records of Monroe County, MO to see if any Lowry families moved there or seemed to be connected to William Hickman. Somewhere there may be a Lowry will which names a daughter either Ann or Rachel Hickman.
