- Both Sally and Micajah are listed in Bartlett Henson's probate records.
- Evidently died before 5/2/1848
- Micajah is listed in 1850 census with second wife Dorcas Smith - married 5/2/1848 in McDowell Co, NC.
- listed as age 49? born 1801? -- Sally 20 years older? -- possibly this is their son?
- Micajah died 8/1856 per estate papers in McDowell Co, NC filed by his widow Dorcas.
Sandra,
In your research, have you come across a Micajah Sisk, born around 1790-1800? I believe he was brother to Martin, but not really sure. I've found listings of Martin's family, but Micajah isn't listed. I've researched Elijah, John, Robert, and others, but Micajah isn't listed with any family.
Micajh is listed in McDowell County census in 1850 with his second wife, Dorcus. His first wife was Sally Henson, with whom he had at least two sons; Hosea and Bartlett.
He died before 1860. In that census his wife Dorcus is listed as head of household. There is a Martin Sisk living with her and her minor children by Micajah. That's why I assume Martin is his brother, or maybe an uncle. I believe Martin is too young to be his father.
Thanks for any help,
Frann
