Subject: Really Peculiar - HICKS again...
Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 09:35:01 -0400 (EDT)


Good morning,

Well, I received great stuff, but also a
bit confusing to me! I was seeking a missing
child or two of the HICKS, and so sought a
census lookup, and got these two that seem
to be the same group, but at the same time
seem to be a total coincidence and comedy
of facts!

Note that it is known my Charles Cooper Sr
HICKS lived at 1643 Federal Street. Notice
the reference, too, to 1665 Federal Street
with George & Jane (an unknown couple!).
Can you find other reference to this couple?
There are a number of Georges, but I cannot
see a George & Jane!

P.S. Louisa's husband (I know these are two different years)
was Charles Cooper Sr HICKS. The two addresses are not the same
here, but the individuals are, *maybe*, the same individuals!
