She was the eldest of thirteen children. Her siblings were William B.

The Jefferson County, Mississippi Hicks, Herndon, Stowers and Johnson families' history is included in the book The Story of Grandma Goetz (1859-1942) Natchez, Mississippi, published/revised 2020, written by Edward F. Hicks II. Copies of this book are maintained by family members, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Jackson, MS and The Historical Natchez Foundation, Natchez, MS.
