Joseph Pinkney Hicks married Ann Mirah VanWinkle and they had six children: Jack, Travanion, Herbert, Violet, unnamed baby boy (presumably stillborn or died at birth), and Bessie.

A note on Travanion Hicks, by Cleffie Burford -- Travanion was a few months old, playing on the floor. The adults were eating popcorn or nuts (something like that) and a piece got dropped onto the floor and they didn't know it. Travanion got it and choked on it. That's how he died.

I don't have any pictures of Violet Hicks (that I know of)
