Re: Fickes Family - Mary Mayrilla 1863 Ohio

This is my mother-in-laws line. You can email me at pamela3015@sbcglobal.net. Elmira Reed Fickes was buried at the Grandview Cemetery next to her son-in-law John James Corbut (Rilla's husband) in Montrose, Colorado in 1899. She is the daughter of John Reed and Lydia Dale.

I do not have a death record for Solomon. He is the son of Jacob Fickes Sr. and Rosana Lingenfelter. I have the Lingenfelter line back quite a ways to Germany and the Fickes line back two more generations. I have the Reed line back about 4 more generations to Ireland. You may already know this.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake about Solomon's death date. He died prior to June 29, 1900.

MarySueFickes16 — 2008-12-29 21:54:25Z

I am positive that the Solomon and Almira Fickes you mentioned are my husband's great grandparents. This is the only direct line descendant we have had trouble with. We know Solomon was in Madison, Sandusky County Ohio in 1860. His son, Jeremiah, my husband's grandfather was born in Sandusky Ohio Aug. 7, 1866. Our records show that Solomon and Almira had the children Franklin and Dulcinda(could be Dulcinea?) in the 1860 census. Do you have records of their deaths and where they are buried? We know Solomon died before 1890 in Nebraska. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Re: Fickes Family - Mary Mayrilla 1863 Ohio

pamsopp — 2006-10-24 18:58:21Z

Thank you anyway. I found her after I posted the message in the 1870 census in Columbus, Johnson, Missouri with Solomon and Almira Fickes and siblings Ella, Della or Dulcinea, Franklin and a Jeremiah Fickes. It looks like they were born in Madison, Sandusky, Ohio as that is where Solomon and Almira are in the 1860 census. She went by Mayrilla and Rilla, but her death record says her name was Mary Mayrilla and she was not indexed properly in the 1870 census.

Re: Fickes Family - Mary Mayrilla 1863 Ohio

Do you know anything about a Mary Mayrilla Ficks who was born in 1863 in Ohio? She married John J Corbut in 1880 in Missouri.

Bill, let's continue our 'old' correspondence re. Winfield Scott Fickes. He was the brother of my great grandfather, John Peter Fickes. Their parents were Isaac Fickes and Elizabeth Shimer. Also a sister, Annabella, was born later. Their guardian was John Fickes after Isaac and Elizabeth died in the 1850's.

Alberta J. Fickes b. 1856 Franklin Co. PA d. 1930 Piatt Co. IL

2006-05-24 14:33:12Z

Looking to confirm that Alberta was the daughter of Josiah Fickes and Elizabeth Ann Demarest. I believe she is listed in this household on the 1880 Census for Lurgan Twp. Franklin Co. PA. Alberta J. Fickes married Elias Walter in 1887 and moved to Bement IL in 1887. They never had children. Looking for any information concerning the family of Josiah Fickes and Elizabeth Ann Demarest.

Claire_Westlake — 2006-05-08 00:28:52Z

Valentine/Benjamin Fickes & Zeigler/Zigler/Ziegler in PA

e202intr — 2006-02-22 13:30:21Z

Hello,

I am searching for information on the following people. I'm trying to determine if the wives of these men are sisters (or related).

They would be in York Co>
Adams Co.>
Cumberland Co.>
Perry Co.

Valentine Fickes II b. 1778 d. 1870
m. Mary Zeigler/Zigler/Ziegler b. 1777 d. 1837
(10 children)

Benjamin Fickes b. 1776 d. 1819
m. Eve/Eva Zeigler/Zigler/Ziegler b. 1784 d. 1850
(8 children)

I think that another possible sister / relative is Catharine Zeigler/Zigler/Ziegler who was the first wife of Abraham Deardorf/Deardorff (7 children). His second wife was Susannah Erhard/Erhart (2 children)

There may be a brother, Martin Zeigler/Zigler/Ziegler , b. 1779

Thank you for any information or help,
Elizabeth

I have finally found all the members of my Samuel Fickes family. I am still looking for Samuel's death date and burial place, however.
His wife, Esther Irwin ( instead of Owens) Fickes died in 1885 at Fairchild, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Her daughter, whom she had not seen in 15 years, came to visit, and Esther, so excited at seeing her after all those years, had a stroke and died.

Charles A. Fickes, born 1869.

jjkmk — 2004-11-02 00:22:26Z

Anyone have anything on my great-grandfather Charles.
He was born 1869 in Ohio. He married Alice Meister, and had three children, Chester, Ruth, and Forrest.

I think his father was Isaac Fickes, who I think was born 1844 in Ohio. Any help would be appreciated.

Fickes / Kincaid conection??

trooper38 — 2004-08-16 20:05:41Z

My grandfather was Joseph Lincoln Fickes( Born 1866-1937) married to Jesse Jane Williams, living in West Virginia. I've learned that the Fickes name was not Joseph's given name but has the name taken when he was raised by a Fickes Family after the death of his parents. His birth name was Kincaid. I've had no connection to people with the Kincaid name and don't know the names of his father and mother. Joseph and Jesse had five children - Herman 1903; Charles 1906, Thelma 1908-1911; Abert 1910-Jan1978, Hazel 1912. If you have any informaton about his family, an email would be appreceiated. I have too many loose ends that go nowhere?

In the book "Adam and Susan Fickas" by Viva Freeman, Jost Fickes married Anna Regina Baier in 1739 in PA. In the information that I received from the DAR, Jost Fickes (Fix) married Hannah Regina Baier in December 1739 in York County, PA. I'd be very interested in any info you might find about the German origins of Jost and his parents.

Re: Valentine and Jost (Yost) Fickes

@@fabulousmary@hotmail.com — 2005-12-16 18:52:04Z

In my records I have Jost Fickes born in 1717, Germany and he married Johanna Regina Baier 1739. Unclear if in Germany or here. He died in York county Pa. When he arrived in Pa. it was on ship William Oct. 31, 1737. Now Valentine was his brother or his father. there are 2 Valentine Fickes. I dont really know much about them and am looking further into the elder Valentine. He married Anna Margareth Wedebach. That is about all i know. If you can get a list of the passenger ship William you will find Jost Fickes on that date. Good luck. I am still verifying some of this info so i suggest you do the same because it has been difficult to get on this track.

Fickes in Ohio

JOborski — 2004-06-12 22:11:49Z

Hi.
I am looking for information on 2 Fickes and their families. I hope to link them to the Fickes lines in Penna.
The first is Elizabeth Fickes. She was born on Sept 1, 1798 in Pennsylvania, and died on January 2, 1872, in Salinesville, Columbiana Co., Ohio. She married John Benjamin Goddard and proceeded to have 9 children: Elizabeth, Margaret, Frances Ann, James, Sarah Amanda, John, Benjamin Strewen, Julia Marie, and Nancy.
The second is Valentine Fickes. He was born abt 1825 in Ohio. He was the second husband to Sarah Amanda Welk. Her first husband was John Goddard (son of John Benjamin Goddard and Elizabeth Fickes). I have reason to believe that John and Valentine were cousins. After John's death during the Civil War, Valentine became guardian to John's children, married Sarah Amanda Welk and had at least one daughter: Martha.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
