For many years all I had for Nancy Ebert was that she supposedly married a 'Haycock'. A few years ago I found (on the internet) several postings about a Nancy Ebert who married a Samuel Hicock. Could this be the same person? After researching further I could find no proof that she wasn't the same person, but no proof that she was 'our' Nancy Ebert. Then Laurie W., a cousin of mine, found Samuel G. Hicock, the son of Samuel Hicock and Nancy Ebert, in the 1870 US census in Iosco, Michigan with his aunt, Roxy Ann (Ebert) Kelly and 2 of her children, and 2 other Kelly cousins! This is the only 'proof' I have so far. If anyone else has more info, please let me know. Or if you disagree, or have doubts, that is okay, too.

(I don't know how the Green family is related, if at all, they may have just been sharing the household)
any notes in paranthesis () are my own notes, they are not found in the original record
following are some of the notes I have on Samuel Hicock, Jr. and Nancy Ebert
It is possible that Samuel (Sr.) and Eleanor Hicok moved to Canada, had at least Sylvester born 1810 or 1818
(depending on what census info is correct) in Canada. It is probable that Samuel (Jr.) married Nancy Ebert about
1831 in Canada, and that they had several children born in Canada, before both Samuel Sr. and Samuel Jr. moved their families back to the States, settling in Steuben County, New York. Both children Eleanor and Martha have sources that indicate they were born in Canada.
The census data on birthplaces differs on each census. It is not conclusive, and the 1880 census gives the birthplace
of both parents of Nancy (Ebert) Hicok as Canada, when they were both supposedly born in the US.
Nancy (Ebert) Hicok died in 1881. Need to check death certificate for more info.(there are no government death records for that time period in Steuben County, New York (I emailed the county clerk's office)
