Things do not always
work out as planned and we might wish to return to a better time, sometimes making a name change. The following document illustrates this
situation, which was found in a file marked "Petitions" in the Caldwell
County, Kentucky Clerk's Office in Princeton, Kentucky.
"To the Honorable,
the Judge of the Caldwell County Court -
The undersigned desires
her name changed. Her name was originally Mary G. Parker, being her
maiden name. She first married Thomas J. Early[1], who is dead. Then she
married one Hamlin H. Hicks[2], from whom she was
divorced by a judgement [sic] of the
Caldwell Circuit Court Ky. at its September term 1856.
"Her age is thirty
five years, her place of birth is Caldwell County Ky. She desires her name
changed to Mary G. Early. Respectfully, Mary G.
Hicks.
Sworn to before me by
Mary G. Hicks this July 13th 1858. J.C.
Barnes, DC."
