I have not researched Berry Allison Hicks, but I am a descendant of his brother Richard Henry Hicks. I did stop over in Gaffney, SC, a few weeks back to see the headstones of Berryman Hicks and also Richard's descendents through Duke Wellington Hicks, Sr. I found a few other other Hicks' headstones, but sorry, no Berry Allison Hicks.
