Tim- You might want to contact a lady named Julie at [log in to unmask] She has been transcribing minister returns and posting them on many county websites. She also has some marriage bonds from Frederick County for the years 174?-1784 (I think those were the years). I did NOT see any Hickmans on the bond list but she may have more not posted yet. I also did NOT see any Hickmans listed on the minister returns I checked, but again, she may have some I did not see. Hope she can help you. Good luck.

John was having children around 1788 and was in Greenbrier Co., VA's Personal Property Taxes by 1799 (first time I have located him - not there in the PPT lists from 1781-1798). It has been reported on the Internet he married a Nancy WALLACE, d/o Robert. This information however is undocumented. I have checked the marriage bond books for the following VA Counties: Greenbrier, Rockingham, Franklin and Augusta, as well as Lancaster Co., PA. I would like to see if his marriage bond is in the following VA counties: Albemarle, Botetourt, Shenandoah, Frederick, Rockbridge, Henry, Bedford, Amherst, Berkeley, Fauquier, Pendleton and Hardy. If anyone has marriage bond books for those counties I would appreciate a lookup. Thanks, Tim Spradling **************What's for dinner tonight? Find quick and easy dinner ideas for any occasion.
