Person:Nancy Hicks (5)

All information from Norman Zezula

M. 20 Sep 1840 to Nelson Newkirk

!BIRTH:Census records of Clermont Co., Ohio (1820-1840; with her parents) and comparison with the known data for the rest of Joshua Hicks children

      led to this birth year estimate.  Her name was determined from the
      Cler. Co. mar. rec. (v 3, p 233).  The fact that she was a daughter
      of Joshua Hicks and Diana Adams was established by the listing of
      Diana Hicks (Joshua's widow) with the Nelson Newkirk family in the
      1850 census--("Diana Hicks, age 82, b. VA; identified as Nelson's
      mother-in-law"--Tate twp., Cler., OH; # 1167).  Nelson is living with
      his second wife, Nancy (Hicks) Newkirk having d. in 1847.

!MARRIAGE: Cler. Co., OH mar. rec. (v 3, p 233)

!DEATH: Orville Jones Notes give the death date and states she is bur. in

       Mt. Pleasant Cem. (Cler. Co.) a few feet from her bro., Elijah HICKS

SPOUSE: Nelson NEWKIRK married his second wife (Eliza Giles) on 30 Sep 1847

in Clermont Co.

MOVED: In 1866, the NEWKIRK family moved to Illinois and then to Drakesville, Iowa.

CHILDREN: John C. served in Co. H, 59th OVI; died at Stone River, TN 1862.

   William D. was also in Co. H, 59 OVI; He got a disability discharge (pension papers).  He married In Illinois and had 4 daughters.  One of these, Cora Johnston was still living in Ottumwa Iowa on 23 Oct 1974 (age 90 years). Orville Jones corresponded with her on that date, and obtained the above information from her.  She has never heard of "Harriet" [sic] (prob. means "Hannah"), the 3rd child of Nelson NEWKIRK and Nancy HICKS.  The William D. NEWKIRK Bible does not mention her.  She may have married or died in Clermont Co. prior to 1866.  (Orville Jones Notes, p 30)
