Additional Comments:
This deed of protery was once in Smith Co But is DEKALB Co Now

Also This deed is the ONLY PROOF That I have so far that my 4th GGF JOHN HICKS 

was in Smith/Dekalb Co Tn. John married Nancy Bennett Marriage Bond Sept 1810 

in Brunswick Co Va. Alot of Bennetts moved to Smith? later to became Dekalb Co 

TN. Nancy is listed in 1820 Smith Co Census as Ann Hicks (she was listed in 

the Salem Bapt. Chuch 1815. I do believe that John Hicks died before the 1820 

Census. Thank You. And Hope this helps someone.
