- Joanna Banbury married an Andrew Hicks and adescendent of this family lives on a farm in Devonshire that was bought by one of our Banburys in 1762.…. Joanna married a Hicks! Now leap forward a generation or two and we find Richard Banbury/Mary Cornish in Knox County [OH USA] and we find Hicks in the neighborhood. I was never able to connect them until today, when we see that Joanna Banbury married a Hicks!!!! Could be part of the reason that the Banburys left England and went directly to Knox County, OH .
