Setting the record straight: John Jackson Hicks was born in Jericho, Town of Oyster Bay, Queens County, Long Island, New York, USA. Nassau County was made from Queens County on 1 Jan 1899. John was the Son of John Hicks and Hannah (nee Tappen) Hicks. I see that John's Headstone states he Died "28" Feb 1928. Various records show he actually Died 22 Feb 1928. His very lengthy Obituary/Bio was published in the "News of Long Island" newspaper on Friday, February 24, 1928, his Funeral Date. The article states that he "passed away on Wednesday", which was February 22, 1928. Marriage One: Mary Ellen (nee Chesebro) 1831-1917; Children: Ina S. Hicks 1858-About 1890, Ada H. (nee Hicks) Tappen 1862-1914 Six Children; and Lois Mary (nee Hicks) Roche 1865-After 1928. Marriage Two: Martha Elizabeth Mann 1841-1917; no issue.
