Henry Hickman, II

May have been married twice. Susanna Watson (daughter of Daniel Watson and Sarah Custis) was probably the mother of his only (surviving) child Custis, but Susannah Ewell may have been the means of obtaining land from James Ewell at Brickhouse, head of Hunting Creek, Accomack Co, VA.

Alternatively, his mother Elizabeth may have been a Ewell and he may have had a claim on the land through her.

He sold land in 1746 at Brickhouse, head of Hunting Creek, Accomack Co, VA. It was in this year that Henry Hickman joined Solomon Gladding and James Ewell in selling Nicholas Powell 250 acres of land near the head of Hunting Creek for 75 pounds, 10 shillings. The deeds states that his land, called Brickhouse, belonged to a James Ewell, the grandfather of the James Ewell who was selling his 1/3 interest... (NOTE: Carey shows James Ewell was the grandfather of the James Ewell selling the land and Whitelaw shows he was the father.)
