Alison, I hope you don't mind telling me about Charles Paul Hicks' wife's name and that of her previous husband. I'm curious about Charles Paul Hicks because of his early history in Tennessee. He was married (he was very young) to a slightly older Alva McGhee Howard (recently divorced from Tom Howard). The marriage was very brief. Family lore is that his family was horrified (given the notoriety of the Howards and McGhees and their feud) and hustled him out of town as soon as they could.
