Hello! My name is Crysta Hicks. I too am a descendant of the McConnico's from Virginia. The McConnico's from Virginia settled in Wilcox County, Alabama. My family was owned by William Washington McConnico. There are so many spellings of this name because after slavery, many of the slaves changed there last names in hopes of distancing themelves and pursuing a new life elsewhere. Many of the slaves took one the letter N out of their name or spelled there name Micanico. I hope this helps. It real hard to get an accurate record of my family as a result of the name changes.
