Just found your website and want to say a thanks for doing this. It's great to see all of this information being gathered and shared.
Brandon Vickers, who contributed some of the information on the Orange County, NC lines has done a fabulous job of researching the family line there. He gives me more credit than I deserve for the small amount of information I was able to provide. It was a pleasure to be able to help, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
My direct Vickers ancestor is Rachel Vickers, daughter of Riley and Mary Cozart Vickers and wife of Jesse Clinton. Information
on their children has been hard to come by. I am currently trying to
discern if Jesse and Rachel Vickers Clinton had a daughter named
Chamblee buried in the same small cemetery as them and is of the correct age to
have been a daughter. If you know of anyone researching Riley and Mary Cozart Vickers children, please feel free to pass along my
email address.
