Son: James M. Vickers
There is a James M. Vickers that marries a widow, Mrs. Mary Tooke (Maiden name possibly Polly Jones), with children, December 15, 1825 in Pulaski Co., GA. They are still there in the 1830 Census. It appears that this James M. Vickers, probably the son of Nathan Vickers, moves to Thomas Co., GA prior to 1838 where his wife dies. James M. Vickers then marries Ann E. Miller January 24, 1838 in Thomas Co., GA.

Correction on Laurens-Abraham Vickers
Lucy,
Have just looked at some stuff on Ancestry which you submitted.
The Abraham B. Vickers in
Nathan died 27 May 1847 in Decatur Co. He is buried at Tired Creek Methodist
Church, Grady Co. Ga by his wife Elizabeth Jane Moore
who died 11 March 1841.
I suspect that Nathan named this son Abraham after his uncle Abraham who gave
him land.
That deed in Book G p. 207, 5 Jan 1814, Pulaski Co, Ga
was witnessed by a John Vickers and an Emanuel Bennett. Do you suppose that
Bennett was one of your connections? The deed is from Abraham of Pulaski to
Nathan Vickers, esq. of Co. of Burke, for love,
goodwill and affection, reserving a life estate in 202& 1/2acres of 20th
Wilkinson, now Pulaski,
Deed Book H, p. 46, Pulaski Co, Ga l Sept. 1828,
Hardy and Nathan Vickers, Adms. of
estate of Abraham Vickers of Pulaski sold lot 238, 20th dist to Elizabeth
Posey, widow of Humphrey Posey.
The estate of Abraham that Nathan & Hardy were administrators of started 20
Jan 1824-Book of Estate Returns 1822-1824, Pulaski Co. and seemed to go on for
a number of years, even to when Nathan was in Leon co.
There were two Abrahams-1820 Ga. Census- one Abraham in Jefferson Co. and one
Abram in Pulaski. On the 1805 Land lottery there was an Abraham who got 1 draw
(indicating a single man) and one who got 2 draws (indicating a married man).
They were in Washington Co.
BB
Thanks Barbara!!!
