  Father	Thomas (of Edward) Hickman, (blacksmith,   b. Abt 1770, Accomack County, Virginia, USA d. 30 Jul 1827, Accomack County, Virginia, USA (Age 57 years)
  Mother	Lucretia Middleton, (Middleton?),   b. Abt 1770, Accomack County, Virginia, USA d. Yes, date unknown
  Marriage	Abt 1795	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [5]
  	There is not record of Thomas Hickman's marriage, but he is joined by wife Lucretia in signing the deeds that divided his father's property in 1798. The only inference to her maiden name is a deed in 1807, in which Thomas Hickman B.S. and wife Lucretia join William Middleton in selling land to John Cropper (Acc Deeds 1804-1807, p. 720). This implies that she was a Middleton.
