Noah SYKES is shown as born Sep. 3 1835 and drowned in the Mississippi River Apr. 16, 1853. He was buried (or at least his name is on a tombstone) in the Preston Cemetery, Jackson Co., IA.  http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=108753

Does anyone have information or family for Noah?

I was wondering if you could help me?  I was always told that a good friend of mine's father was in Burma in the early 40's and had a fellow officer and friend by the last name of SYKES. They were working on a cure for Malaria during the war.

Upon his death in 1990 I inherited a painting signed by what appears to be L. Sykes, although the L could be a J.   Although the frame suggests a much older painting, I believe it reads 1942 beside the signature, but I am not 100% positive.

  

I have researched the subject and have discovered it to be a street view of the Spanish held Citadel in California before it became a state.

 

Any information would be helpful.  I found it interesting and I thought I would give it a shot that maybe you had an idea as to the origin of the family or the Painter himself. If not, thank you for your time.

Seeking any information or family of John Harvey SIKES who was born in Cork, Ireland on 18 August 1872.  He came to Cape Town, South Africa in the early 1900’s and was in the Cape Mounted Rifles in the time of the Anglo-Boer war. He lived in Kalk Bay, Cape Town and died on 18 September 1949. We believe he was a Captain in the Cape Mounted Rifles. 

He had a son, James Cheneweth STANFORD and a grandson, Darrol STANFORD (my husband).  We believe that there are family members of John Harvey SIKES still residing in Cork, Ireland.

Unfortunately this is the only information we have. We would appreciate any information from the readers.

Looking for parents of Catherine Ruth SIKES/SYKES who married my Alexander A. BROWN, age 50,  in 1845 in Macon County Alabama. Moved to Tuscaloosa County Alabama in 1850 and to Choctaw County, Alabama by 1852. She was born in North Carolina and probably in one of the counties along the South Carolina border.

I recently found her obituary in the Methodist publication, Southern Christian Advocate, which reads: "Died in Choctaw County, Alabama, sister Catherine Brown, consort of Alexander Brown.. ..born 5th of January 1821, and died 8th August 1852...left husband and several small children."

The Browns migrated to Macon County Alabama from Anson County North Carolina in 1836 with the HAMILTONs. Lived near modern day Monroe, North Carolina. All members of Methodist Church. Lived near Richardson Creek.   Any help appreciated.  Thank you.
