| CHICK.--The widow of Harding Chick, of Christian county, Ky., came
to Callaway county, Mo., in 1830, with eight of her children, viz.:
Elizabeth, Polly, Nancy, Fanny, Frank, Lucy, Adeline, and Joseph.
She had six other children -- Elijah, William, Harding, Asa, Alexander,
and Amanda -- who remained in Kentucky. |
[Note: Nancy (Scates) Chick and her children probably went to Missouri
with her daughter and son-in-law, John C. and Elizabeth (Chick) Clark,
who are known to have moved to Callaway Co. in 1830.] |
