Dear list:
I have not posted here in a long time, so I am hoping that someone can
find the references I need to solve a puzzle. The puzzle is: Who was
Absalom Vickery's father?
I would also appreciate information from any Hancock County, IN
histories and biographies on Absalom or Abner.
Thanks,
Tim Walls
The pertinent information I have is as follows:
Starting with the likley father, Vincent Vickery --
1820 Census, Guilford Co., NC
127 Vincent Vickery 2 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 0 1 0 0 - 0 1 0 0 0 0
2 males under 10 (1810-1820) (I believe that Absalom/Abner is one of
these two males)
1 male 16-26, 0 males 16-18, therefore Vincent Vickery is 18 to 26; born
1794-1802)
1 female under 10 (1810-1820)
1 female 16-26 (1794-1804)
1840 Census
Hancock Co., IN page 202, unknown twp.

-----------------------
Vincent Vickery
============
1 male under 5 (1835-1840) (could be a grandchild)
3 males 15-20 (1820-1825)
2 males 20-30 (1810-1820) (same as in 1820 census for Guilford Co., NC)
1 male 40-50 (born 1790-1800, confirms my suspected 1795 birth date)
============
2 females 15-20 (could be the female from 1820, plus maybe a young wife
of one of the older males)
1 female 40-50 (born 1790-1800)
