Notes:

Someone who knew the family told me years ago that William Thomas Hicks had children by a black woman named Lucy Thorp. I was shown the family cemetery and was told that the black descendants living in the area kept it up. I have checked the census records and found that in 1900 William Thomas Hicks and Lucy Thorp lived in the same neighborhood. In 1910, they were listed three houses apart. They were teenagers and probably met about then. Lucy's first child was born about 1912. In 1920, they were listed two houses apart. Lucy had five children at that time. She was listed as "widowed" although two more children show up in the 1930 census, and there was never a father listed in her household. William was still living with his mother in 1920. In 1930, William was listed as living adjacent to Lucy's children. Lucy evidently died sometime after the last child was born (about 1925), but before the census (1930). The oldest child, Calvin M. Thorp, was 18 and head of the household which consisted of him and his four brothers and two sisters. Lucy was listed as black in the 1900 census and mulatto in 1910 and 1920. The children were listed as mulatto in 1920 and as Negro in 1930.
