Hello AGAIN!!!
Well.....I'm "flumixed"!! Shoot-a-mule if google.com don't say Smithville
became the Brunswick Co. seat in 1808 ( the co. seat was moved to Bolivia in
1975). Then....Smithville became Southport in 1887. Doggone if Southport
ain't in the SE corner of Brunswick Co. on the Ocean. Fort Johnston, near-by
was active in every U.S. war effort.
Theodore Hicks appears in the ROSTER OF NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS IN THE WAR WITH
MEXICO, prepared by authority of the Legislator of 1887 by Brig. Gen.
Johnston jones Adj. Gen. of the State of North Carolina. Theodore's unit
was organized by Capt. Tilman Blalock at YANCEY, NC ( Yancey co. is in the NW
part of NC on the Tenn. line) on 1-1847. Called into service at Smithville
(now Southport) 2-14-1847. Honorably discharged at Smithville, NC 8-7-1848.
Commanding officer was Capt. Jacob H. Constable.
Burnsville is the Co. seat of Yancey Co., Nc. If Theodore lived in this
County that would place him close to where I think he moved after the War
(CHRISTIAN CO., KY).
Hope some of ya'll will get me close enough to take a clean shot. If not any
piece of info that you "glom-onto" will help.
Thank ye kindly in advance,
Everett
