Person:William Hicks (10)

M. 31 Dec 1799 to Ann Davis

!BIRTH: Estimated from marriage order of brothers and sisters (See notes on "Children" for Samuel HICKS and notes on "Birth" for Benjamin HICKS)

!MARRIAGE: both from Surry Co, NC marriage bonds

           (1)  Ann Davis (31 Dec 1799)
           (2)  Polly Moss (28 May 1802)
           It is possible that the first marriage may have been to another William HICKS (due to the time between the two marriages, and due to the belief that William was living with his father in the census (he first bought land later in 1800, although he was taxed --not on land-- since 1794).  However no other William HICKS has been found.
