NOTE:This census Lists James Vickers as 60 with Nancy 49, Bettie 24, Sam 20 and M.J. 15. These names don't reflect other census records so doubt it is the same James Vickers.

NOTE: Although James J.Vickers, Sr. was living in Arkansas in 1880's he may be buried in LA. TOOKE HISTORY, p. 190 alludes to this fact. A Vickers cemetery is reported to have been west of Ringold, LA. The cemetery is now over grown & no attempt was made to search it. A Librarian at Ringold, LA said she had been to it at one time. A search of Hempstead Co., AR cemeteries was made with no results. His sister Eliza Vickers Snell is buried at cemetery in Emmet, AR,SE of HWY 67.

NOTE:Sarah Lester Vickers Jordan, mother of James J. Vickers was divorced from husband John Jordan in 1846. The November Term of Court of Thomas Co GA James Vickers was trustee for this action in his wife's name. Records show each party was well to do in their right.
