Subject 266. p1 (250) TH0MAS HICKS, The following is from the following sources:- The Hicks Genealogy, by Benjamin Doughty Hicks, 8 volumes manuscript, the only copy extant being at the Long Island Historical Society library in Brooklyn, New York. From "Adam and Anne Mott", by Thomas C. Cornell, Yonkers, 1890. From Bunker's Long Island Genealogies. From "The Van Wyck Family", New York, 1912. From "The Jones Family of Long Island", by John Henry Jones. From the New York Historical Society's Abstracts of Wills, vols 1 to 3. From "The Doughty Family", by Ethan Allen Doty, in the New York Genea- logical & Biographical Record, vol 43, page 273. From "Thomas Stevenson of London and his descendants", by John R. Stevenson, Flemington, N.J., 1902. Thomas Hicks was born probably at Weymouth, Mass., in 1640, and died at Little Neck, L.I., in 1740, just over 100 years of age, son of John and his first wife Horod (Long) Hicks, see subject 532. Thomas Hicks was brought to Long Island about 1642, shortly after his father came. In 1666 Thomas bought from Governor Nicholls, a patent of 4000 acres of land in the vicinity of Little Neck, built a good house and lived as Lord of the Manor for many years. In 1691 he was Judge of the Court of Queens County. According to Savage, Bunker and Stevenson, Thomas Hicks married, 1st, after 1658, in Long Island, as her second husband, Mary (Butler) Washburn, daughter of Richard Butler of Stratford, Conn., who had married, 1st, John Washburn, who died August 30/1658. However, the Jones Genealogy says that the Mary Washburn who married Thomas Hicks, was the daughter of John and Sarah (---) Washburn, uncle of the John Washburn who married Mary Butler. The John Washburn who married Sarah ---, was a man who lived in Flushing, and whose will of February23/1687 was made after he returned to England and died in the parish of Saint Beedolph, near London, in which he mentioned his daughters Sarah and Mary. It seems to we that the Jones genealogy is the more correct, for it is more likely that Thomas Hicks' wife Mary Washburn, came from Flushing, rather than from Stratford, Conn. The St Nicholas Society records say Thomas Hicks' wife was Mary Cornell Washburn. I don't know which is correct. They had two children, see below. Thomas Hicks married, 2nd, on July 6/1676-7, Wary Doughty, born about 1658, died 1713, daughter of Elias and Sarah (---) Doughty of Flushing, L.I., and grand daughter of the Reverend Francis Doughty, see subject 534, and 1068. The Cornell Genealogy says Mary Doughty was the daughter of Thomas Doughty - this must be wrong. Thomas Hicks' will is given in the New York Historical Society's Abstracts of wills, vol 3, p 352, and was dated May 15/1727, proved January 28/1741-2. He left to his grandson Thomas Hicks, the eldest son and heir of his son Thomas Hicks, the sum of five shillings: he left to his son Isaac, his Great History Book, called Speed's Chronicle of England: he left to his son Benjamin, his silver tankard: he left to his son Stephen, all his houses, lands and meadows in the bounds of Flushing, except his right on the great plain of Hempstead: also a bed and furniture, and the remainder of his books, two hatchetts, and his wearing apparel. He left to his six sons John, Joseph, Isaac, Benjamin William and Stephen, all his right on the great plains of Hempstead. To his daughter Phebe Simmons, œ100: (this same should have read Seaman). To his daughter Charity, œ250: to daughter Mary Bushlar œ100: (this name should have read Rushmore). He left to his grand daughter Mary Hicks, Subject 266. P2 (251) daughter of his son William, his silver tumbler. All the rest of his property to his four daughters Phebe, Elizabeth, Charity and Mary, and to his grand daughter Sarah Everitt. His Indian and negro slaves and his live stock, were to remain for his son Stephen. His sons Benjamin and Stephen were to be serviceable to his daughter Charity in her affairs. His son Stephen was his executor. His will did not mention a wife, so she must have predeceased him, nor does it mention his sons by his first wife. His children below are taken from his will, which lumped the sons first and the daughters after: hence the order below may not be correct. Issue:- (by his first wife Mary Washburn) 1/1. Thomas Hicks. The Stevenson Genealogy gives his birth as 1667: he died between April and October 1712. Bunker wrongly says he married Deborah Valentine, born 1657, daughter of Richard Valentine, He married Deborah Whitehead, born 1675, whose will dated April 14/1712, proved July 24/1712, confirms that she was the wife of Thomas Hicks: she was the daughter of Daniel and Abigail, (Stevenson) Denton Whitehead. Abigail was born in 1640, and was the daughter of Edward and Anne Stevenson: she had married, 1st, about 1660, Daniel Fenton, born in Yorkshire, England, about 1628, died 1703, son of the Reverend Richard Denton, to whom she bore two children. They were divorced in 1672, and Abigail married, 2nd, in that year, Daniel Whitehead and bore him seven children, Deborah's will mentions the same children as in her husband's will. Thomas Hicks made his younger brother Jacob, his executor. Thomas left to his wife Deborah, the use of his homestead, to wit, that part which was James Clements', together with 10 acres of woodland at the north west corner of his 100 acres, and all the housing and orchards during her widowhood. Also the use of the meadow he bought of Richard Chew, with all the 100 acres he bought of John Hinchman, except the ten acres at the north east corner which he left to his son Augustine: also the meadow that was formerly James Clements after his wife`s decease. He left his son Augustine all his homestead that was James Clements', as all the meadow that was Francis Doughty's, with all the haying and orchards. He left his son Whitehead all the 10 acre lots, bought and purchased by his father in law Daniel Whitehead, deceased, situate and lying upon the south side of the Hills, to him and his heirs and assigns. And his son Thomas was to pay his brother Whitehead œ25 when he was of age: and his son Augustine was to pay him œ10. And his son Thomas was to pay his brother Stevenson œ100 when of age. He left to his six daughters Abigail, Deborah, Mary, Elizabeth, Hannah and Martha, two thirds of moveables. His wife Deborah's will left œ15 in money to Benjamin and his wife Elizabeth Field with her youngest son Stevenson to bring him up. She left the rest of her estate to her seven children. She bequeathed her daughter Martha to her loving friend Martha Thorne, and her daughter Hannah to her dear cousins Robert and Phebe Field, desiring them to bring up her dear children in the way of truth and the fear of God. She appointed her loving friends John Rodman, Robert Field, Francis Doughty, and Samuel Bowne as executors. Issue:- (from the Benjamin D. Hicks genealogy) 2/1.

Could this be his will? It would seem so, as John's sister Elizabeth (named Sarah by Werner), had a sister in law who married Thomas EIlison, see subject 264, page 3. 1/4. Joseph Hicks. No data in Benjamin D. Hicks genealogy. 1/5. Isaac Hicks. Bunker estimates his birth as 1678, and he died in 1745, his will dated August 3/1745, proved September 30/1745.

She married in 1695, Samuel Seaman, born 1668, died 1732, son of John and his Second wife Martha (Moore) Seaman, see subject 538, page 2. Issue:- (may not be complete as the Seaman genealogy says they had seven children) 2/1. Samuel Seaman, born about 1696. He married at Hempstead, L.I., on September 30/1729-30, lsabella Allen, and had some children. 2/2. Mary Seaman. born about 1698, died before 1737. The Benjamin D. Subject 266.

However the Seaman genealogy says Jacob Seaman married Mary Hicks, and that Jacob was the son of Benjamin and Martha (Titus) Seaman. I think this is an error, for Martha, see below, 2/3. Martha Seaman, Born about 1699. She married on March 25/1731, her cousin James Seaman, who died in 1781, son of Benjamin and Martha (Titus) Seaman, and had four children. 2/4. Hicks Seaman, born at Jerusalem, L.I., in 1700. He married at Hempstead, on October 30/1726, Elizabeth Barnes, born 1717, daughter of Joshua and Sarah (Jackson) Barnes and had five children. In 1764 they went to Westchester County, N.Y., and had a farm near the Craton River. 1/10. Elizabeth Hicks, mentioned in her father's will, but no further data and therefore probably died young. 1/11. Charity Hicks. Benjamin D. Hicks genealogy says she was not married. The Cornell genealogy says she was born in 1674, (this is two years before her parents married), and that her will was dated March 1762, proved February 14/1767, and that she married, as his second wife, on December 20/1712, (when she was about 45 years old), Thomas Cornell, born 1675, died 1719, son of Richard and Elizabeth (---) Cornell. 1/12. Mary Hicks. Her father's will called her Mary Bushlar, a mispelling of the name Rushmore: the will also mentioned Mary's daughter Sarah Everitt. She married Jacob Rushmore, son of Thomas and his second wife Mary (Doughty) Rushmore. See subject 264 for their issue and further particulars. 1/13. Sarah Hicks. Her father's will mentioned no daughter Sarah, nor does Benjamin D. Hicks genealogy give her as a daughter. However, some genealogies state Sarah was a daughter, and that she married Thomas Rushmore, born about 1650, died before 1733, son of Thomas and his first wife Martha (Hicks), Rushmore, see subject 264. I cannot find any proof that Sarah was a daughter of Thomas Hicks.
