1860 Census of Tilman Hicks
It shows him as F. Hicks and Marthas age as 34, but when you go to the image and enlarge it you will see that the F is a T and that Marthas age is 54. He evidently was pretty well off. It shows his personal estate valued at $30,000. I don't know what happened
to Isabella. She would have been 14 years old. Thanks T.D. Morris Morrist994@aol.com
