Daniel and Philip Hicky papers, 1667, 1762-1846.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/250671234

Papers of Daniel Hicky include a British land grant in West Florida (1768); deed for sale of land on Brown's Cliff, District of Manchac, by Montfort Browne, governor of the Bahama Islands (1776); and a passport signed by Governor Don Estevan Miro (1783). Papers of Philip Hicky are comprised of military documents and correspondence. Military documents include regimental orders of the 11th Regiment of the Louisiana militia; a commission signed by Governor Manuel Gayoso de Lemos appointing him captain of cavalry in the District of the Felicianas (1798); and instructions (in Spanish) from Governor Carlos de Grand Pre (1806). Correspondence contains letters from Benjamin Morgan, deputy commander, U. S. Army, regarding pay to non-commissioned officers and privates (1812); Governor Henry S. Johnson appointing Hicky as a commissioner to receive General Lafayette, also referring to General Philemon and Colonel Fulwar Skipwith as commissioners (1825). Correspondence between 1814-1815 is concerned with the movement of troops and the Battle of New Orleans. A few items appear to have no direct relationship to the Hicky family. For example, the earliest item (1667) is an order, in French, for the addition of an infantry company to a French regiment; another item (1762) is a statement of the royal notary of the Province of Louisiana regarding the sale of some land and a dwelling in Cannes (?) to Mr. Francois Fimard (?) by John Macarty, a lieutenant of the king. The artifact is a cast of a seal.
