• Notes

  Will dated 8 Jul 1665, Proved 6 Mar 1665/6 !See notes of father and husband. No record of her birth has been found. The 20 Feb 1967 SLAKE LDS proxy sealing to parents has her sealed to Edward Winslow and Eleanor Pelham. However, "The Great Migration ..." says the argument that she was a Winslow has little basis [TAG 54:32-34]. It also says she came in the Anne, 1623, accompanied by three children. LDS proxy baptism and endowment are from the FGRA sheet. "Snow-Estes Ancestry" says: "Margaret (Winslow) Hicks was thought to have been the first woman teacher in America. In his will dated July 30, 1633, Dr. Samuel Fuller says, 'I give unto Mrs. Heeks the full sum of twenty shillings: wit, Robert Hicks . . . 'my will is that when my daughter Mercy is fitt to goe to scole that Mrs. Heeks may teach her as well as my sonne.' Mar. 6, 1649, Mrs. Margaret Hicks exhibited an inventory of her son Ephraim, in connection with which the following agreement was made: .... ". There follows the agreement in full which was made by her son Samuel "being possesed of the whole estate of my Brother Ephraim Hickes Deceased" to pay certain sums to his mother. It was dated 1 Mar 1650. "The Great Migration..." says "On 6 March 1649/50 administration of the estate of Ephraim Hickes was granted to Margaret Hicks and Thomas Willet [PCR 2:148]. The nuncupative will made by Ephraim to Mr. Thomas Southworth was set aside, Ephraim being 'not in a capacity in regard of his said manner of death to make a legal will' [PCR 3:202]. The court ordered that Ephraim's estate be set aside for the benefit of his mother, 'Mistris Margaret Hickes,' but the order was not recorded and Margaret had to go back to court many years later to insist it be recorded, 3 December 1660 [PCR 3:203]."
