| Note | Taken from Hicklin Family Message Board, 20 Nov 2003. 24 Thomas HICKLIN Sr. Born abt 1689 in Scotland, Ireland Or USA? Thomas died in Augusta County, Virginia, on 31 Jan 1772; he was 83. Thomas Hicklin Sr. was born ca 1689 whether in this country or Ireland as it has been stated. There has been no proof shown as to where he was born, some say he came to this country in 1714 from Ireland but no proof has been found. Some have said that he came to Pennsylvania in 1700, this would have made him 11 years old and he would have had to come with his parents. If he did come to Pennsylvania In 1700 as was stated there was a John Hicklin whom the sheriff delivered a deed to on 26 APR 1702 for 124 acres of land in Chester County, Pennsylvania John could have been the father of Thomas. He is first found in Chester county, Pennsylvania in 1734. He received a land warrant for 120 acres on the 16 Aug 1734. This is the first proof of Thomas in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He married about 1723/24, to the daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth Donaghe Sr. In 1744 the following advertisement was placed "Plantation of 313 acres in Chester County near Hamiltons Mill is for sale; apply to Thomas Cearell at the Crooked Billet in Philadelphia or William Hamiltons at the mill or Thomas hicklin living on the premises". Taken from Ben Franklin's Pennsylvania gazette 1728-1749 by Kenneth Scott. Thomas Hicklin, and his family, later moved down the valley and we find him next on a draft of Newfoundland creek, now called Bullpasture river in Virginia. Thomas Hicklin Sr. Sold to Thomas Hicklin Jr. 131 acres of land on the river 22 Mar 1770, this was part of 348 acres patented to Andrew Lewis on 1 Jun 1750 and sold to Thomas Sr. 6 Jan 1756. Lewis also sold to Thomas 217 acres in Aug 1768. During the French and Indian wars, 1757, he was on the rolls of the Highland Fort, according to Vickna' Compendiu, of American Genealogy, Vol. V , P.728.. On 19 Aug 1766 Thomas Hicklin Sr. was exempted from levy by reason of his great age and infirmity. Thomas Hicklin Sr. Died in Augusta County, Virginia in the year 1771 as his estate was proven 31 Jan 1772. He signed his will with an X . This is believed to be because of his ill health not because not could not write, the mark was beautiful and complex unlike one who couldn't write. |
