Millie L. Bickley

Notes:

Appears to have died prior to the 1900 census, when her mother was shown as the mother of six children, five still living.

Notes:

On the "Betts-Tuttle-Roedel-Lang" tree at RootsWeb, he is shown as a son of Simon Peter Bickley and Martha Ann Culver, and half-brother of John S. Bickley, born 1847. This does not appear to be correct, as William Buckley can not be located in the household of Simon Bickley and Harriet Culver in the 1850 through 1880 census. The "Ancestors of William Gene Bowman", also on RootsWeb, also shows William Washington Bickley, along with a twin brother, Wilson W. Bickely, as sons of Simon Peter Bickley and Martha Ann Culver, again married 27 Jan 1846. The also shows Simon married second Ann Elizabeth Biggs, not Harriett.

Wilson Bickley, 17 years, 3 months, Farmer b. Ga; and W. Bickley, 17 years, 3 months, farmer, b . Ga were listed on the 1864 Census for Re-Organizing The Georgia Militia. They were in Talbot County, Twenty-fifth Senatorial District, 688 Militia District, John E. Barksdale, Enrolling Officer; Albert E. Acee, Aide de camp.

In that same district, other Bickley's listed were J. S. Bickley 17 years, 4 months, Farmer, b. GA ; and S. Bickley, 46 years, 2 months, Farmer, b. SC

William married Martha "Mattie" Hutchinson on 4 Jan 1870 in Georgia. Martha was born on 16 May 1848 in Georgia; died on 25 Jan 1925 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Could not locate a Texas Death Certificate on the Texas, Deaths, 1890-1976 database at Familysearch.org.

FindAGrave shows her as Martha "Mattie" Hutchinson Smith, and lists her location of birth as Autauga County, Alabama. It further shows that she and William Washington Bickley were married 4 Jan 1870 in Talbot County, Georgia, and had seven children. (Memorial # 39404881, showing Burial at the Hemphill City Cemetery). A second FindAGrave Memorial exists (# 64919395) which instead shows her burial at Bickley Cemetery. A photo of this double tombstone with her husband, William W. Bickley is shown. Her date of birth is engraved, apparently in error, as May 18, 1884.

On the death certificates of sons Robert and Willie Simon, she is shown as Mattie Hutchinson (Hutcherson). On the death certificate of daughter, Tinie May, and the one for her son, Horace Bickley, she is instead listed as Mattie Smith. Could she have remarried after her husband William Bickley died in 1907, perhaps accounting for the inconsistent names, and for the two headstones in differing cemeteries?
