Hello,
I happened upon your website and was interested in #667, Zeroda
Hendee. You state that she was married to Joseph Vickers son of Jane
Vickers.
By any chance have you come upon any more information about Joseph
Vickers? This is a branch of the family I am researching.
Joseph Vickers b 1839 in Nova Scotia was the son of Jacob Vickers and
Jane Ashworth Vickers. The family left Nova Scotia in 1854 for Steuben
County, New York. I have a record of Jacob selling his land there
before they left. Jane's mother and stepfather had already moved to
Steuben County.
Joseph's father, Jacob Vickers had a brother who remained in Nova
Scotia. The brother's name was Joseph Vickers. (This family used the
same names over and over.) My husband is descended from this older
Joseph Vickers. Supposedly they came to Nova Scotia from England. Both
worked in the mines. I am trying to find out where in England they
came from.
I know it's a long shot but I was wondering if you had any other
information on Joseph.
Thanks,
Kathy Vickers
