"My name is Patricia Hicks Allen. I live in Virginia. I was born in Caretta in 1952. I was taken to Virginia when I was two days old. My father's name was David Edward Hicks 1918-1989. His father was Henry Clay Hicks 1864-1942. My dad was a coal miner. I never knew my fathers family, my mother remarried and I was adopted. I have been trying to research my family roots but its so hard since everyone that could help me is dead. I need to know who Henry Clay Hick's father was."I know his parents were John and Elizabeth, but it doesn't say who Johns parents were. Also Henry Clays second wife was my gandmother. Sarah Margaret Hicks. We went to where she was buried but could not find her grave. My mom told me she was buried up high on the mountain at the Caretta Cemetary. I don't know her maiden name or who her parents were. My mom said she only met Sarahs mother once and she was Native American and dressed in full Indian attire. Any help you can give me will be deeply appreciated."
