[Harrison County]  [Berry's Station Precinct]

A. J. HICKS, farmer; P. O. Robinson; was born in Harrison County, Jan. 28,
1820, and is the son of James and Millie (Adams) Hicks, who were among
the early pioneers of Harrison County.  The former was a native of South
Carolina, and born in 1785; he removed to Wayne County, Ky., after having
arrived at manhood and subsequently to Harrison County, where he died in
his seventy-eighth year.  The mother of A. J. was born in Virginia, and
died shortly after they became residents of Harrison County, her death
occurring in 1815, in her twenty-second year.  A. J. was thrown upon his
own resources at the early age of ten years, and as is usual in many
similar instances, his success in life seem to have been increased by
his hardships.  In 1838 he married Miss Polly Ashbrook.  Six children
were born of this marriage, three of whom are now living: Anna E., James
J. and George.  In September, 1852, his wife died; his second marriage
was to Miss Elizabeth Craig, and of the eleven children born of this
marriage six are now living, viz: Edward, Hugh, Alvin, Doctor, Jacob and
Clark P.  About the time of his first marriage Mr. Hicks bought his present
farm of 154 acres, since which his time and labor have been spent in its
improvement and cultivation.  Mrs. Hicks is a member of the Christian
Church and in his political views, is a Democrat.
