From Bette Wilde:
Dear Kelly: I have been reading all the links to your website and I think the Vickers line I am tracing falls in there, but I can't quite figure out how. I am doing research for 2 friends of mine; Nettie Vickers Turley who is in her late 60's and her mom Willie Claud Knoblock Vickers Ragan (married Erastus Orland Vickers.)
Here's what I have so far:
William Thomas Vickers died May 7, 1874 and is
buried in
John H., Phillip, William J., Elizabeth, Mary
Caroline, Thomas, Guy, Andrew, and Michael V. born in 1852. Mary Caroline
married Felix Gross. Michael V. married Sarah Margaret Russell, the daughter of
Thomas Russell and Nancy Dean. Sarah was born on Nov 18, 1858 and died Aug 16,1899, she is buried in Big Hill Cem.

Please see if any of this makes sense in your lines. I would really like to see a connection. Nettie - Willies' daughter, says that they believe William came orginally from NC but can't find the link. Thanks in advance. Bette Wilde

Hi, Bette!
Glad to hear from you! If William Thomas Vickers came
from NC, then he is definitly tied in to our lines.
Do you know how old he was when he died--or his approximate birth year? That
will help. We are smack dab in the middle of trying to find and document the
relationships of the Vickers families in the south, so tying your William
Thomas in will really help. One of the ways we are trying to do this is by
getting copies of all existing NC wills for the generation preceeding
William Thomas. The more info we get the clearer the picture will become.
Everything that I have is currently on the Page. However, since I got the Page
up and running a couple of weeks ago I've been getting alot
of contributions. It will take me some time to work through them and get them
put into the next update of the page. I will add your name and email address to
my mailing list of Vickers cousins. Send me the approximate birth year of
William if you know it--that will definitely help in getting him tied into the
NC group. Thanks! Kelly

Dear Kelly,
While surfing I found your link for Vickers genealogy. It has been some
time since I actively did reasearch on the Vickers
line. My deceased first husband is descended from James Vickers and Elizabeth
Mowery who married in Sevier Co, Tn
in 1799. Their daughter Nancy Vickers married William Thomas Vickers in 1830 in
McLeansboro, Hamilton Co, IL. This appears to be the
same William Thomas Vickers that Bette Wilde is researching. I got stuck on him
to. James had a 1st wife and 7 or 8 children by her, but I have minimal
information on this. I alway had the sense that
William and Nancy were cousins. Not ever able to prove.
As I said, it has been some time since I have actively researched this line, but I am more than willing to share the information that I have, in return, of course, for receiving information.
What information do you need from me? I will go through my folders. I have many documents.

Hi!
I decend from Thomas Vickers & his 1st wife Mary ? of Hamilton Co., IL. I
know that they were both born in TN, at least according to the 1850 Census, as
were 8 of their 10 children. The other 2 were born in Hamilton Co.,
IL. By the 1860 Census Thomas was married to Polly ?,
I have no idea when or where Mary died or when or where he & Polly
married. Polly T. was listed as the mother of his children on the graves
in the
I'm at a loss as to were to look for this info.
I've checked the death records at the Hamilton Co., IL Courthouse & have
found nothing. I've also checked the Illinois State Marriages for 1823 -
1900 & have came up empty handed. I'm also
unsure as to where in TN Thomas came from. I've been told by someone
else working on the Hamilton County Vickers' that he had came
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much.
