• Name	Benjamin Hickman  [1]
  Suffix	I
  Birth	Abt 1672	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Will - Named in Fathers will	25 Apr 1683	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [1]
  	In his will William Hickman, wife no name, named 7 sons Richard (eldest), William, Joseph, Benjamin, Henry, Roger & John (under age) & 3 unnamed daughters (under age 18).
  Tax list	Between 1723 and 1724	Somerset Co, Maryland   [2]
  	He was shown as Benjamin Hickman a head of household.
  Land - they inherited land	1724	tract A115, east of Parksley, Accomack Co, Virginia   [3]
  	Benjamin Hickman, now living in Somerset County, sold his inherited 135 acres to Joseph Hickman, and in 1752 he sold to William Hickman Jr. He is believed to have been the William Hickman who died intestate in 1778, his estate being administered to Isaiah Hickman, presumably his son and heir-at-law. In 1806 Isaiah left his land to his daughters Polly Hickman and Rebeccah Wright, the wife of Thomas. Two years later the land was surveyed and each received 76 acres; Polly's land was at the upper end, below the George Warner property, so the latter land must have been in the northwest corner of the whole, and the Isaiah Hickman bequested land evidently lay below it along the wester boundary of the tract.
