Transcription from The Lower Albany Chronicle compiled by E. Morse-Jones, Part 1, Page 98

13 November 1825

"Mary, widow of the late Robert Wicks, who had six children, was a member of Port Frances Chapel."

As this was before her marriage to James Wright (5 July 1827), these six children would be Sarah Hall, Robert Wicks, Sophia Wicks, William Wicks, George Wicks and ??? Wicks.
