Wordless Wednesday ........................... late night on Tuesday

Who are these guys? Do you know? 

The photo is with those that were found in Robert Henry Hicks Jr's house in Stockbridge GA.

(formerly Robert H Hicks Sr's house). 

It was also with a lot of Hunsucker or possibly Harris photos.

Lets go way back

I had a couple of different things I wanted to share about my Great Grandfather Robert Henry Hicks. But, I needed more information first, so I decided to put that on the back burner for a few days. Next, I decided to do a little on Ollie Hicks, which is Great Granddaddy's brother. But, my scanner has died! So, I am going to have to put that on the back burner for a bit too. Then I decided to go way back! Way way back to one of Vesta's ancestors, the Reverend Basil (Bazzel) Lowrey. I'm going to go ahead and say, that I don't have any real documentation on this, only leads from the internet that lead me to believe this information is correct, so lets go....

Reverend Bazzel Lowrey 1812-1894

findagrave memorial # 77185063

Methodist Minister and Doctor in Marietta Georgia

married to 

Emily Yarbrough 1815-1905

findagrave memorial # 77185360

They had a several children one of which was a daughter, 

Martha A. Lowrey (1840-1907). 

She married Charles Shepherd and they had a daughter, 

Mary Shepherd (1871-1896) 

She didn't get too live very long, but she did marry Aaron Wesley Hunsucker and they had two children, Vesta Hunsucker and Ira Hunsucker. 

Vesta (my great grandmother) married Robert Henry Hicks. 

I'm slowly working on getting information to confirm this Hunsucker tree. I got the information about the Lowreys from an internet site several years ago. Sadly, I saved the pictures, but not the name of the website I got the information from. That is a prime example of why you should always cite your sources when doing genealogy. If I had cited my source from the internet, I could go back and do more research. As of now, I have to trust that the pictures are who I claim them to be, and I have to hope that where ever I got the information that the Reverend was Vesta's great grand parents is correct.

If you have any information let me know.
