Managers of Robert Hicks, of Hick's Ford,

I am contacting you about this profile: https://www.geni.com/people/Robert-Hicks-of-Hick-s-Ford/60000000302...

I think Hick's Ford was named after Robert Hicks of Brunswick County, Virginia (1658-1739) would later became part of Emporia, Greensville County, Virginia and not this Robert Hicks of North Carolina

Hicksford, the first community, was developed where the Fort Road (known today as the Dry Bread Road) connecting eastern Virginia to Fort Christianna (in Brunswick County)

I was not able to do anything with these today as I was on the road

It may be as simple as a name change— meaning remove the “of Hicks ford”

In his journey in 1716 to Fort Christanna, situated on the Meherrin River, in what is now Brunswick County, Governor Alexander Spotswood stopped on his way at "Hicks' Ford," where Capt.
