10 Feb 1798 |
tract A116, Rue, Accomack Co, Virginia [2] |
- Edward Hickman's children were named in the division of his land in settling his estate. The northern 56 acres was divided into 3 portions, as was the southern 50 acre strip. Son Richard received 17 1/2 acres of the 56 acres, son George received 18 1/2 acres of the 56 acres, and Stephen & Robert Hickman jointly received 20 acres of the 56 acres and it is assumed they were the sons of a dec'd child who had died before Edward. The 56 acres that were divided into these 3 tracts eventually became owned by Zepporah Ann Hickman Morten, seemingly the orphan daughter of Richard Hickman and were sold by her and her husband Thomas Morten of Somersette County, New Jersey, to James Rew of Accomack County in 1830 (Acc Deeds 1828-1830, p. 446). Henry Hickman received 15 acres of the southern 50 acre tract and the deed names his wife Scissey Hickman. This was probably Lissa Bayly that Henry is recorded as marrying in 1789. Thomas Hickman received 16 acres of the southern 50 acre tract and Dennis Hickman received the remaining acres of the southern 50 acre tract although his deed is not included with the 5 recorded in the division of 1798. Dennis & wife Bridget signed the other deeds and the next year (1799) they made a deed selling his brother Thomas Hickman's 18 1/2 acres for 55 pounds "The whole that fell to him by the death of his father" (Acc District Court Wills & Deeds, 1789-1799, p. 445). In 1806 Dennis and Bridget signed another deed selling Thomas (of Edward) the 3 acres of land that was Dennis' share of his late brother Henry Hickman's land.

Accomack Parish, Accomack County, Virginia, USA [4, 5] |
- He was shown as Robert Hickman a head of household, age 26-45 (b.c. 1775-1794). Listed with him were 2M0-10, 2M10-16, 2M16-18, 2M16-26, 1F0-10, 1F26-45. (NOTE: Because of the double counting of males age 16-18 & 16-26, there were probably 6 under age males and 1 under age female.) This seems to be the last time he was shown in the Federal census of Accomack Co, VA.

- The Robert Hickman and Stephen Hickman, sons of Constable Thomas Hickman by a former marriage, appear to have been the same Robert and Stephen who inherited, together, 1/6 of the real estate of the Edward Hickman who died intestate in 1797. Evidently Edward Hickman had a daughter who predeceased her fahter, and was the mother of Robert & Stephen Hickman. She would have been a sister to Thomas Hickman B.S. who married Constable Thomas Hickman and died before 1785, when he remarried Delaney Lilliston. This would also explain the close ties between these two families.
