"Nancy Ann Hicklin Gilbreath, with her children, migrated to Camden District, South Carolina, which later became Ninety-Six District, Greenville County, with her brother John Hicklin and his wife Hannah Roop around 1786. Nancy Ann Hicklin remained there until she sold her property on January 28, 1795 and moved to Kentucky.Nancy Ann's parents were of Scotch Irish descent, who settled in Susquehanna County Pa. between 1700 and 1770. They later moved to South Carolina, where Nancy was raised on the PeeDee River. Hugh Hicklin referred to his daughter Nancy as "Ann" in his will , Bath County, Kentucky, March 11, 1811, Will Book A.The Hicklin were of Scotch Irish descent, who settle in Susquehanna Co, PA., between 1700 and 1770.They later moved to SC, where Nancy was raised on the Pee Dee River. At age 16, she ran away and married Andrew. They then moved to Virginia where all their children were born. Andrew and two of his brothers were in the Revolutionary War together and he died en route home from the war. His wife returned from Virginia to SC and joined her husband's brothers, who were moving to KY. She had a daughter, Elizabeth, age 5 and a son, John age 3 and perhaps other children.According to Wilma Loree Gilbreath Miller, Nancy never remarried, but lived among her relatives and close friends, taking care of everyone. She was at least a practical nurse, perhaps a mid-wife. Nancy migrated to South Carolina with her brother John and his wife Hanna (Roop) in 1786-1787 and helped with his children, until he was given land in Blount County, Tennessee for his military service (640 acres) and moved there."
