We get Mr Hicks' surname from the 1900 census where his wife Emma is reported
as widow, and has tow young children, tone of which was just born in July
1899. The family genealogies that have her name, though, have it as
Hildebrandt. But they do not comment on the 12-year-old sister named Hesser.
One or two genealogies clarify that Christine is a half sisster.
Some genealogies report Mr Hicks' name as Frederick William. This is
supported by the fact that George named one of his sons Frederick William
Hicks.

By the time George registered for the WWI draft, he was living in Dallas,
working for a tea company in downtown. George's draft registration gives no
middle name, either in his listing or his signature on the card. This record
gives us his father's birth place in England, and provides the new information
that George was born, not in Bexar, as earlier information seemed to indicate,
but in neighboring Guadalupe County.

George was married, but his death record reports him as Single, rather than
widowed or divorced.
In the 1920 census, his wife's name is Jessie A. THe Find-a-Grave memorial
below reports his wife (at the time of death) as Kathryn A. His son in the
1930 census is George M, but the only child mentioned in the memorial is
Frederick William. These may be two different wives. I have not found
marriage records George or either wife's name.
George's situation in 1920 is unclear. He is registered with the same
household number as Fred Gold and his family, but given a separate Family
number as head of the second family. But his street address is also
different. Fred's family address appears to be 120 Olive St, while George's
address is 121 Omaha. This may be one house with two entrances on the corner
of Olive and Omaha, so that each entrance is on a separate street. But it is
is odd that the numbers are in sequence.

The 1940 census provides some details that clarify that Katheryn is a
different wife from Jessie whom we met in 1930. Katheryn was born in Iowa
about 1911, while Jessie was born in Texas in about 1905. Jessie may have
died, and note also the absence of George M, who might have died also before
the 1940 census. They may have been divorced, in which case, George is
probably with his mother. I have not found the divorce or death record for
Jessie.

With this census, informaiton for the Find-a-Grave memorial below enables us
to fil lout the ralationships. The memorial reports that George Hicks was the
father of George Magray, giving us Jesise's son's middle name, and F W
(Frederick William), whom we see in the 1940 census and the grave memorial,
the son of Katheryn. The note on the other children informs us that Katheryn
was the widow of a man named Fulmer. George Hicks adopted her children
Katheryn Fulmer and Robert Howard Fulmer Jr.

Father: Robert Higginson
Mother: Joanna Torkesy

There are records on some events of Lucy's life. Marriage records for her
three marriages are reported, but her birth date as reported cannot be
correct. There is an error in the transcription, I should think. The
original records are not posted, only a transcription, and various source
reports from earlier periods. Two of the marriage records report her born in
1843, but her first marriage is dated 1853. One genealogy source reports her
birth as "After 1825."

Birth VA 1643 [this can't be if she married in 1645!]

The third marriage record, of her marriage to William Bernard, reports no
birth year for Lucy, and reports William's as 1607.

Lucy Higginson, Gender: female
Spouse Name: William, Esq. Bernard
Spouse Birth 1607 England
Marriage State: "of VA" [no marriage year reported]
Here is a partial entry from an early Virginia source on Lucy and the
Higginson family:
"Captain Robert Higginson (a name that appears to have been commonly
pronounced Hickerson) seems to have been prominent as an Indian fighter. ...
The epitaph of his daughter Lucy (who died Nov. 6, 1675) on her tomb in the
Burwell graveyard at "Carter's Creek," Gloucester, only states that she was
the widow of Colonel Lewis Burwell, and that, "She was descended from the
Ancient family of the Higginsons. She was the only daughter of the valiant
Col. Robert Higginson...."

The 1900 census reports a complicated household headed by widow Emma Hicks,
with older children named Ealand and younger children named Hicks. The Ealand
children are reported as Emma's stepchildren, so it appears that Emma's first
husband was a widower named Ealand who had these two daughters when Emma
married him as his second wife.
Based on the children's ages and surnames, Emma must have married the Hicks
children's father between December 1890 (when Harriett was born) and about
January 1896 (about 10-11 months before George Hicks was born).

Christine Hesser was enumerated two times in the 1900 census. In another
listing, she is included with her parents' household in nearby Guadalupe
County, Texas.
Most genealogies lack Emma's parents, but most report her name as Hildebrandt.
One detailed genealogy clarifies that Christine is a half-sister, the last
child of Emma's mother, who married a second husband named Hesser after only a
few years of marriage to John Hildebrandt who died. Another genealogy was
confusing since it also had Hesser as Therese's maiden name of Emma and
Christine's mother, Therese or Theresia Schneider.See the followintg Ancestry
genealogy:
-- Jentsch Family Tree,
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19343947/person/18525050682
One genealogy shows two husbands, but reports the first husband of Therese
Hesser (Hesse) as one Heinrich Saenger, not a Hildebrandt. This reports Emma
and several other Hildebrandt children as children of Therese Hesser and this
Heinrich Sanger, without any mention of the different surname. The second
husband of Therese in this genealogy is George Hesser, Christine's father.
In 1910, the Ealand girls are not in the household. They are married recently
before the census in Milam County, Texas, to brothers Charles and Daniel
Fowler.

We see here that Ben has reported he had been married 49 years. He married
his first wife Amy in late 1850. So 49 years would be up to 1899. But Emily
died in 1892. So it look like it should have been 41 years. Note also his
birth year is off, as we normally find about half the time in the 1900 census.
Previous census ages would make his birth year 1826. The month here is
different too. The birth date on his gravestone is March 7, 1826.

married a Tipper. Her daughter Verta is reported as a cousin of L C, matching
her mother's relationship.

Spelling appears both as Kerwin or Kerwyn. I know the name as Kerwyn, and this
is the way I find it in the 1930 census, when Kerwyn is 8 years old, and the
family are living in Ft Cobb, Caddo County, Oklahoma.
He was called Kerwyn (Kerwin) by family (following the dominant pattern of
this family line in calling the children by their second name. As an adult,
however, he preferred to be called Charles. I remember knowing his wife Lois
when I was a child. I believe they lived in California for some time, then we
visited them in Chickasha, Oklahoma, his hometown. I have no further
information about his wife or children, except that some family members know
of a son called Mark.
Mabel was in Mt View, where she met Oscar Hill, after Joseph Asa moved his
family to Mountain View in approximately 1914. In information recorded by
Ruth Christian, Mabel (Kerwyn's mother) states that the family had lived in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for about one year.
This sequence of statements compresses events. Harold Christian (Jenkins
Family History, private paper) reports that the family moved to Canada
sometime after Lahoma was born in Mt View on 25 November 1914. They returned
from British Columbia after World War One ended in 1918. When they moved back
to Mt View, Harold says they returned to an Indian lease farm southeast of Mt
View. Mary had already returned from Canada and was staying with her sister
Sallie Christian and her family.
At some time later Mabel comments: "When Kerwin was about 3-4 days old, Poppa
was made City Marshall." This reference seems to refer to the situation at
Fort Cobb. Other factors indicate the Jenkins family moved to Fort Cobb from
Mountain View between 1918 and 1925. Mabel's sister Netheline was born in
Mountain View 25 December 1918. Virginia Jo Jenkins was born 28 August 1925
in Fort Cobb. Shortly after they moved to Ft Cobb, Joseph Asa became the City
Marshall of Ft Cobb. Kerwyn was born in October 1921. If Mabel's memory is
right, then Joseph Asa became Marshall of Fort Cobb in October 1921.
This would be the period of time when Mabel married Oscar, and when Kerwyn was
born. Kerwyn's age is 8 in the 1930 census in Ft Cobb. This date of birth
for Kerwyn yielded by this is 1922. In July 2007 my mother Lou Ila Gregory
Jenkins late gave me family records she had found, consisting of information
Lou had written down from my grandmother Julia Virginia Terry Jenkins. This
information gives Kerwyn's birth date as 27 October 1921.
Known facts seem to indicate that Mabel and Oscar married in Mt View, and that
Kerwyn was born in Mt. View. I thus show the birth place as Mt. View.

Cemetery in Chickasha, Oklahoma. The full date of 28 May 1998 is also
reported in the Social Security Death Index, which reports he was living in

death. He had lived in Chickasha ever since I can remember.

This census tells us George and Clarice married about 1926. The actual

Clarice's name is written oddly, then a shoddy write-over attempts to correct
the name to Clarice. It has been interpreted several ways. Her name on her
grave is Clarsie H Gregory. Her name in the 1930 census is awkwardl;y written
and could be Clarsie as on the gravestone. In the 1940 census it is clearly
written as Clarice.
