I am curious what you know about a William Sikes that may have lived in Leon County, FL. My husband has an ancestor named William Matthew Sikes that lived in Leon County, FL in the 1840's. In 1850 William Matthew Sikes left Florida to go to Rusk and then Limestone County, TX. William Sike's wife name was Emily Patterson, daughter of Andrew Patterson of Leon County, FL. (I found Andrew on 1830 census here). William M. Sikes had 2 sons born in Leon County, FL: Napoleon Bonaparte Sikes (born 1846) and James Henry Sikes (born 1848). I have list of their siblings, and there wasn't a Benjamin Sikes, however William's son, Walter Brown Sikes (b. 1860 in TX) did name one of his sons, Benjamin B. Sikes, so maybe there was some relationship between them. Napoleon Bonaparte Sikes was a Church of Christ preacher in Texas, so I wonder if there wasn't a connection between these two families. Contact me at MikeJessieCheek@cs.com. We also live in Leon County, FL, so would love to solve this mystery.
