William SIZEMORE:

Alias Blackhawk SIZEMORE
Born 1818¹
Died 1874²
Hi!, I am new to the list. I am looking for information on William "Black Hawk" Sizemore d. May 9, 1876, married to Martha (Matty) Milum d. 1865. Black Hawk and Martha are the parents of John Sizemore b. abt. 1841, William Sizemore b. 1843, Susannah Sizemore b. abt. 1846, Wood Sizemore b. abt. 1849, and Hiram Sizemore b. abt. 1848, d. 1904.

I have a George G. Sizemore and Sally Anderson listed as parents of Black Hawk. Is George G. Sizemore - George Gulden or George Golden Hawk Sizemore?

Susannah Sizemore married Douglas Oney in 1866. I would like to know if this is Douglas Oney's full name or was it maybe William Douglas Oney. He had a sister Sidney Oney. I believe she married a Gearhart. The Gearhart name appears on the marriage certificate of Susannah Sizemore and Douglas Oney in 1866. Susannah and Douglas had a daughter, Sidney Oney who married Emery Hicks in 1891. Sidney and Emery Hicks are the parents of Emmiline Hicks who married Simon Peter Moore. Emmiline and Simon Peter are the parents of my grandmother, Fannie Moore. She married Naith Shepherd in 1929.

To the best of my knowledge, all of these people were in Floyd Co., or at least migrated there. Naith and Fannie Shepherd moved north to Ohio in the 1940's. Emmiline lived around Prestonsburg or Hippo KY.

If anyone has any information on these people, please let me know. I would really like to find the names of Black Hawk's parents and grandparents and the names of Douglas Oney's parents and grandparents.

Thank you so much for your time!
