• Notes

  From Charles Gander, citation details below: The first record located on Stephen was in the Hampshire County Personal Property Tax List in which he was taxed for his ownership of one horse. He continued to be taxed for one horse up to 1805, when he acquired a second horse and was taxed 24¢. He was never a slave owner. […] Stephen and his huge family "migrated from Hampshire County to Guernsey County, Ohio, during the late 1820's" according to an article on the history of the Hickle family in The West Virginia Advocate located in the Handley Library in Winchester, Virginia. It might appear that the family had moved west shortly after selling on 2 April 1828, as it is recorded that at that time Stephen and Susannah both "personally appeared" and acknowledged to a Hampshire County Justice of the Peace that they sold their 294 acre farm to Daniel Funkhouser. Perhaps they were only visiting at that time. However, "about 1827" was the date of their migration listed in Wolfe's Stories of Guernsey County, Ohio, and that may be reinforced by the interesting contract in the Gallery with his minister of five years at the Hebron Lutheran Church, drawn up in Guernsey County apparently before 1828.
