Wickers of Indiana
I just received the Death Certificate for my great grandfather Frederick J Wickers.It is stated he was born June 14 1847.His parents were Henry and Helena Helans(I believe this is how you spell her last name, very hard to read)Wickers bothborn in Germany.Frederick raised his family in Hancock Co., IN.In the 1870 Census I found him living in Greenfield Twp., Hancock Co. along with William Wickers age 18 born IN.I believe this is his brother. They are working in Tile Factory. I loose track of William after that date.My aunt told me she had Wicker cousins in Lebanon, Boone Co., IN.I should have asked her more questions before she died.The Wicker family that I find in Boone Co is that of Lewis Wickers, married in Greenfield Hancock Co. in 1881.I've looked and looked for a Henry Wickers in the IN Census with no luck.I believe Frederick, Willian and Lewis are brothers.Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
