He had been a farmer and died of stomach cancer at 64 yrs 4 mo 9 days and was listed as married. Don't know who he married after Sarah Hager died in 1857.

Wickham is listed as the head of household. He is 60 years old, and was born in New York. The value of his real estate is 800. Listed with him are: 1. Charlotte, age 47, born in New York 2. Frank, age 4, born in Michigan 3. Henry, age 9, born in Michigan 4. Susan Burrett, age 51, born in New York 5. William A. Burrett, age 16, born in Michigan Sources: This family was researched by Diane Waldron at Fam Hist Lib, SLC, using censuses, marriage records, and cemetery records, as well as knowledge of the wife's family supplied by Somerset Historical Society and records as per Beverly Hager. Josiah was previously married and had a son George born about 1835 and a daughter Frances born about 1840 of Sunfield. ================================================================================
From family lore, she was of Indian descent- thought to be Pottowattamie. (IF she is Caroline's mother) ================================================================================
Family lore claims Caroline was perhaps half American Indian (believe Pottawatomie) but have been unable to prove it. If Josiah D. Wickham & 1st wife are truly her parents, his 2nd wife would have been both her stepmother and sister-in-law. On the 1850 census Caroline and Samuel Hager lived very close
to Josiah and Sarah (Hagar) Wickham. Name: Josiah Wickham Age: 40 Estimated
