I am interested in hearing from anyone connected to the Benjamin Hicks family. Benjamin and wife, Lydia are listed in 1850 La Porte Co Census as living in Hudson Twp.
According to age listed on census he was born in 1799 in NY. Children listed are: Mary, Minerva, Theobald, Jonas, George, Louisa. Benjamin was appointed administrator for the estate of Elijah Towner who died in Vigo Co, IN in 1831.
Elijah's wife was Phebe (Hicks) Towner. I believe Benjamin was Phebe's brother. I would like further information on this family....Linda Garrett
