I am searching for parents of Louisa A. Ticer who was b ca1822-3 in AL and married Hezekiah C. Rorie. They were in AR by 1850. They are my GGGGrandparents. One source in the Stone Co. Historical Society files lists her father as Meridy Ticer her mother as Mary "Polly" Wallis. I have found Meridy Ticer in the census living near Hezekiah Louisa so that is possible. I can find nothing further on Meridy. There have been several people do extensive research on the Rorie family but noone that I know of has found out anything on Louisa Ticer's family. My GGGrandfather was named Newton M. Rorie I have noticed that the "Newton" name continues to appear throughout the Rorie history, but only after Louisa's generation so I wonder if there is a connection to Newton Ticer? I would appreciate hearing from you in you think there is a connection. I will gladly share what info I have I do have extensive data on Louisa's descendants, if you would like that info.
