I'm glad I recognized your e mail address or I might not have looked at your
page. I am not related to anyone in Toccoa. I was born in
I am very interested in finding Jesse's ancestors. He is as far back as I
know. I am just beginning researching this line. I have been working on Lees, Jernigans, and Parmers. I have
been to the LDS library in
I do have another child listed for Jesse and Mary. Annie is Phoebe Ann Vickers Wright. The one not listed is Lonie who married a Craddock. I don't have any more facts than you do on their children other than my grandmother. But I do plan to get this.

If I ever complete this task, I will send you an update. Meanwhile, share any data you have on the older Vickers. I hope you can understand my method of recording these relatives. If you can't, I will try to do better. (Like drive across town and give you a hard copy)
