On the cemetery transcription for Hicks Cemetery, there is a listing for a Sarah E.: w/o
MC Sept 23, 1796-Aug 30 1876. Could there possibly be a mistake in the death date? Like
possibly 1826? I know the stones are hard to read so I am hoping.
I have Moses marrying Elizabeth Green in Monroe Co. 1818, he is in the Owen
Co.Lister's Book 1819-1828 In the 1830 census he has moved to Vigo Co., in 1850 he and
his family have moved to Macoupin Co, Illinois. The problem I am having is his wife's
name is Edith. I have looked all over for a marriage record for Moses and Edith, but can
find nothing, with my luck in was probably Clay Co. Have looked at both Hicks and Hix,
and a lot of Ediths. I am hoping that Sarah E. in Hicks cemetery might have been Sarah
Elizabeth, Moses' first wife. I know I'm grasping at straws, but if anybody can
shed some light I would be forever grateful! There are no census records for a Sarah E.
Hicks in Owen Co.., with that birthdate, so she either was well hidden, or deceased?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
