Family Research

The Wicks Family strives to unite the descendants of Ned Wicks of Columbus, Lowndes County, MS, to honor our legacy of spirituality, family, and educational growth. This page documents our ongoing research, guided by our commitment to seek knowledge, honor wisdom, and build our future by investigating our past.

Our research currently focuses on the identity of our patriarch: while oral history and the 1890 census record him as "Ned Wicks," a discovery in the 1870 census lists him as "Edward L. Wicks"—a significant finding that warrants further investigation.
