BICKLEYS IN TEXAS. Are these Bickleys from Talbot County, GA related to Jos. B. Bickley who settled in Sabine County, Texas about 1869?
Jos. B. Bickley was married to my great-grandmother, Mary Ann Simpson Hays Bickley. She was first married to William Hays in Georgia and had one daughter. I do not know what happened to Hays. The daughter was Irene Lillian Hays, who was born in 1868 and married John Wesley Cordray in 1883.
Mary Ann Bickley died in 1897 at Geneva Texas; I have a copy of her obituary, but do not know where she was buried. She had two children by Jos. B. Bickley, but I do not know their names.

The children of Joseph and Mary Ann are:

Joseph Lafayette Bickley
b. 15 Aug 1882 Sabine County, TX
d. 9 Jun 1935 Bastrop Parish, LA

Mildred Bickley
b. 4 Aug 1884 - Sabine County, TX

I don't have burial information on Mary Ann.
