Julie was condemned for marrying out of unity by the Quaker Meeting. (W/W

This family moved, according to the Wicker/Whicker book, to Shelby Co., Indiana
from North Carolina about 1827, back to North Carolina in 1833 and by 1837 they
were once again in Shelby County, IN.
Samuel and Naomi's marriage place is given in Morgan Co., Indiana in the
Wicker/Whicker book. However, I found the marriage recorded in Shelby County.
Sometimes these events got recorded in two counties.
!In the 1870 census, there is a Naomi living in Hanover Twp., Shelby Co.,
Indiana who is 54 years old and has children: Jane, 36, b. Indiana; Nancy, 18
born Indiana; DeAnna, 15, b. Indiana. These could be younger children of
Samuel's and Naomi's. If so we should be able to determine that fact by
checking the 1860 census. However, a Samuel is living in that same township
without a wife! He is the exact age that this Samuel would be. He has two
children living with him.....Carmony Cyrus, 15, b. Indiana and Zeniah, 13, b.
Indiana. It will be interesting to solve this puzzle! rcw
Naomi appears to be living alone in 1870 in Hanover Twp., Shelby Co., Indiana, with three daughters; Jane, 36; Nancy, 18; DeAnna, 15, all born in Indiana.
Naomi indicates that she was born in Ohio. A Samuel, the same age as Naomi's
husband, is living on the same page as Naomi, but in a different household.
With him are Cyrus Carmony, 15, b. Indiana, and Zeniah (probably Carmony), 13, b. Indiana. Obviously there is more to this story! Cyrus Carmony is most likely the same young man who married Maria Creek. Cyrus is RIN 5355. rcw
Mary's name is not in the new Wicker/Whicker book. I need to check and see if I got it from the old Wicker/Whicker book, and if so, was it incorrect? rcw
On the 1870 census, there is a child named DeAnna who is 15 years old, living with Naomi, Jane and Nancy. The Wicker/Whicker book doesn't have a child named DeAnna, so I am wondering if Naomi had that middle name, as Naomi would have also been 15 that year. rcw
Emma is not listed in the Wicker/Whicker book. However, I found her on the 1870 census with John and Sarah and two of the children listed in the book, Francis M. and Matthew H. Since there are three unknown children listed in the Wicker/Whicker book, I am assuming that Emma is one of those. I have listed her as the 12th child per the ID number, because she was 9 years younger than Matthew; therefore I feel that she is more likely to be the third "unknown" child mentioned after Matthew. rcw
There is a 24 year old Nancy J. Wicker living with Elijah, NOT listed as a
wife, and below her are Louella (4 years old) and Elijah G. (1 year old). The
1860 census should give us more answers, or perhaps the marriage records of
Shelby County. rcw
This couple's marriage was found at the Library of Congress. "Shelby County,
Indiana Marriages" compiled by Dorothy Murray for Hunting For Bears, Inc., was
the source. rcw

An Ancestral File submission on this Thomas was sent in by Mrs. Clyde B.
Dalton-Vance, ("Buddy Clyde"), 9571 Scotstown Dr.
Huntington Beach, CA 92646 in 1992.
In the 1900 census of Shelby Co., Indiana, E.D. 124, pg. 8, Thomas and Nancy
state that they have had two children die. We know that Mary Elizabeth is one
of them, but do not have a deathdate for any of the other children. rcw

Talla or Tollen is evidently a variation of Talley, according to a descendant
who submitted this information to the Wicker/Whicker Newsletter in Feb 1996.

The following poem was written by Genette when they left Iowa to go to
Washington state:On the first day of October No I can never never
Eighteen eighty four That old home forget
I left Chillicothe For it is still fresh
To return no more. In my memory yet.When I bade farewell But if we never
To loved ones dear Meet each other here
Like raindrops fell There is a place
The silent tear. We hold most dearI took one more look Where so many old friends
As the tears rolled on Have gone on before
At the old home place Waiting to welcome us
I had lived so long On that Heavenly shore.And then came rushing A. G. Wicker
Through my mind
The many friends
I had left behind
