150. CHARLES RENATUS⁶ HICKS, CHIEF (NA-YE-HI⁵ CONRAD, JENNIE⁴ ANI'-WA'YA, OCONOSTOTA³, MOYTOY², A-MA-DO-YA¹) was born December 23, 1767 in Tamali, on the Hiwassee River, CNE [GA], and died January 20, 1827 in Fortville, CNE [GA]. He married (2) NANCY E BROOM Abt. 1797, daughter of CHIEF BROOM and A-TSO-S-TA. She was born Abt. 1770, and died Aft. 1842.

Notes for CHARLES RENATUS HICKS, CHIEF:
Notes on Starr's compilations:

1) Charles' father Nathan was married to a Na-ye-hi not to Nancy Broom.

2) Nancy Elizabeth Broom aka Anna Felicitas was married to Charles Renatus Hicks.

3) In the Halfbreed 1-x & 1-1-x family groups Starr depicts Lydia Halfbreed and Charles Hicks as the parents of George Hicks; however, Starr's un-published notes, pg 146-147, and the entries for the Spring Place Students lead me to believe that the spouse of Lydia Halfbreed should have been listed as Charles' brother William, and George as their son. This configuration is also suported by Miller application #7991 for Jennie Hicks nee Wilson who claims through her grand-parents George and Lucy Hicks, her g-gmother Lydia Chisholm [nee Halfbreed], and her great uncles and aunts; Ruth Beck, Anna French, Eli, William, Carrington, Charles and John Hicks; all known children of William Hicks.

Joined the Church of the United Brethren at Spring Place and was baptised on Apr 10, 1813.
At this time the missionaries conferred upon him the name of Renatus (Renewed): Charles Renatus Hicks.

Cherokee Tragedy, The Ridge Family and the Decimation of a People, by Thurman Wilkins,
University of Oklahoma Press, Morman and London:
On his way home from Salem, Major Ridge stopped at Spring Place on January 22, 1827, and found the mission in mourning. During his absence the Cherokee had lost in quick succession their principal chiefs: the aged Pathkiller had died first and two weeks later Charles Hicks lay in a walnut coffin at Spring Place. Hicks had attended the coulcil at New Echota the previous fall though badly ailing. On his way home he was forced to camp in the woods and had taken cold from the dampness. He had gone to bed with Dropsical complaints and had never risen again. Major Ridge, on taking a last look at his friend, learned that he had died gently on January 20 as though he had mearly fallen asleep. The Ridge delivered an impressive exhortation at the funeral.

Notes for NANCY E BROOM:
Memorabilia of the Wachovia Congregations for the year 1821;
"The 14th of October was noteworthy there because in a reverent gathering the Indian Sr. Anna Felicitas Hicks, wife of Br. Charles Renatus Hicks, received holy baptism." [Anna Felicitas is the name given to Nancy Broom at her baptism]
*********************
Extract of a letter from Brother John Gambold, Missionary at Oochgeelogy, among the Cherokees
Spring-Place, October 19, 1821;
"Most of my little flock came here with me, last Saturday, to be present at the Baptism of our Brother Charles Renatus Hick's wife, the first adult of this nation, whom Brother Schmidt has been favored to baptize. The powerful feeling of the presence of God on this occasion, encourages us to hope, that the Father, the Word and the Spirit bear record of this act in heaven. According to a wish, my late dear partner had sometimes expressed, to give her revered mother's name to an Indian Sister, this person was called Anna Felicia. So you see, the Holy Spirit is still continuing to draw souls to Jesus; the work goes on but slowly indeed, yet it is going on; and, what is particularly remarkable, the awakinging, we perceive, comprises chiefly mothers of families, on whom, according to Indian custom, rests the strength of the family, and whose influence on the children is nearly exclusive, as the father is hardly accounted a relative. The conversion of a mother is therefore of great moment, and, as far a human instrumentality is concerned, one of the best means for drawing in the children."
*********************
Extract of a letter from Brother John Renatus Schmidt, Missionary at Spring-Place, Cherokee Nation, December 10, 1821;
"You have probably learnt before now, that I was favored, on the 14th of October, to baptize sister Nancy Hicks, wife of our brother Charles Renatus Hicks, under a lively sense of the gracious presence of our Lord..."
