Robert Hicks Hix b. 1811 Goochland County, VA spouse of Eliza Jane Houchins
I am searching on information on Robert (P?) Hicks or Hix, born in Goochland County, Virginia around 1811. He married Eliza Jane Houchins on December 19, 1831, and had five children, one of which (William Meshach Hicks) is my great grandfather.
Goochland Co., VA 1850 census p. 109, anc. 11
Hicks, Robert 39, 1811
Eliza J. 35, 1815 wife Eliza Jane Houchins Hicks
Charles J. 14, 1836 son
Sarah E. 12, 1838 dau.
Virginia P. 10, 1840 dau.
Wm. Mishach 5, 1845 son
Robert J. 1, 1849 son
I have been unable to identify his parents, but I suspect he may be a son of John Hix and Christiana “Kitty” Cheatum (Chittum). It appears he was born in 1811, which would put him after Mary Polly Hicks Proffitt and before William Abner Hicks.
My reason for connecting these two is that several of William Abner Hicks’ children and grandchildren are buried in the Corinth Church Cemetery in Goochland. In the same cemetery are buried Robert’s daughter, Virginia Poore, and William Meshach’s wife, Sarah Saunders Hicks. Two of the three offspring of William Meshach Hicks (as well as some grandchildren) are also buried here. (The third William Meshach child is my grandfather, William Berton “Bert” Hicks, who is buried in Riverview Cemetery in Richmond with his in-laws, Charles and Mattie Ready.)
I’d be grateful for any help filling in the blanks.
