  • Notes 
    • Joshiah H Hicks (Uncle Joe, as he was familiarly called) was a native of Richmond, Virginia. He married Drucilla Medow, also a Richmond native. They came to Missouri in 1868 and settled in Howard County, later moving to Chariton County, where they settled on a farm in Musselfork township.

      Josiah was an overseer of slaves and saw that they were properly cared for. He never enlisted in the Army during the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the south and many a sick and weary Confederate soldier found refuge in his home. He was a Democrat, a member of the Baptist Church and belonged to the Masonic Lodge.

      Drucilla died in 1884.
