On the IGI, Source Film #458238, there is a Henry Wicker, b. "abt 1835" in
Fountain City, Wayne Co., Indiana, who is the son of James and Martha Bundren
or Bundram Wicker. He could possibly be this Samuel Henry, or he could have
been another child born earlier than Samuel Henry. More research needed. rcw

!Eliza was disowned for marrying out of unity by the Quaker Meeting. (W/W
Newsletter, Vol. 3, #4, Aug. 1994) Since Nathan's father was also condemned for
marrying out of unity, it appears that Nathan should have been raised in the
Quaker faith, as he was the child of Samuel and his first wife, Rhoda Knight.
The only other situation I can think of would be if Samuel had JOINED the
Quaker faith later in his life and his children were not Quaker at all. If
they were raised in the Quaker faith, why would Eliza have been disowned? rcw
