HARMON
HICKMAN

L.
BENTON |
by Eileen Worthington irish1@netins.net
First Generation
1. Harmon HICKMAN. There are two Harmon Hickmans
from the Brunswick and Columbia Counties area in NC and Horry Co., SC. The first, b. in
1795, NC, fought in the war of 1812. He left NC, after 1823, and there is some evidence
that he settled in SC for a short time, then moved to Wilkinson Co., GA, before 1828. He
moved to Pike Co., AL, and died there in 1884. I do not believe that this Harmon is the
father of Henry David Hickman. The second Harmon Hickman served in the Civil War, Company
C, 18th Regiment, Columbus Co., NC. It is much more likely that this is the father of
Henry David Hickman who was born December 27, 1859. He married Anna L. BENTON.
They had the following children:

shows that Henry had recently married Rosa A. Johnson and that her mother, Elisa, also
lived with them. According to this census, Ed was married but his wife was not named. The
