Hi,
I am looking for any information on a Mary Hicklin Cartmill mentioned in the
land division settlement for David M. Cartmill in 1853. (David died 1835). She
is listed as one of his heirs, even though she didn't sign the settlement.
This settlement is in Bath County, Kentucky.
What I am supposing (don't we do a lot of supposing?) is that Mary Hicklin
married one of David's sons, who is deceased at the time of settlement. And I
would think there would be a child or children involved for her to be
mentioned.
David M. Cartmill married Nancy Ann McDonald, daughter of Henry McDonald and
Sara Hodge, in 1813 in Fayette County. David and Nancy named their youngest
son Hugh Hicklin Cartmill, so I have always thought there was a Hicklin
connection. While in Bath County, I opened Deed Book A to Page One and found
the Will of Hugh Hicklin, even though he was listed as a resident of Harrison
County, Kentucky.
I would be grateful for any information on the Cartmill/Hicklin marriage.
Thanks,
Paula Berry Hampton
