RE: There is a Henry ICKES and a John H ICKES Brothers
I have seen where people are gettingJohn Henry Ickes and his brother Henry Ickes totally confused.I am from John Henry Ickes clan. He was born April 18,1778died September 12 , 1846 he was married to Mary B Croil or Croyle.They had 12 children and moved the family from Bedford , PA to western PA in Butler county to a little town called Ekastown. The family changed the name from ICKES to EKAS.Plus I have seen the tombstones for John and Mary Ickes at St Pauls Lutheran cemetery on Rt 228 in Buffalo Township , Butler, Pa,USA.
Now for Henry Ickes b Feb. 21, 1776died Oct. 17 , 1860 and buried in Bedford, PA. He is the one married twice. Once to Catherine Hinich and they had 9 children. He then married a second time to Margaret Clark and they had 1 child. And from what I have gathered Henry and hid wives stayed in the Bedford area.
I know it is easy to confuse them and with the names almost the same I can see how some have done that. But I thought you might want to correct what you have and make it right. If you had it right good for you.
It took me a while to figure it out. And I had to go to Bedford to get it right.
Have a great day and thanks for your time
