Descendants of
HARMON HICKMAN AND ANNA 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:

+2 i. Samuel Edward HICKMAN
+3 ii. Henry David HICKMAN
4 iii. Angie HICKMAN
