Hey everyone, sorry it's so late but here's the story of Hicksey the Pirate, a possible ancestor of mine.  I hope you enjoy it, I'd appreciate your feedback in the comments.

Early Access to November's Patreon Poll Video:  Pirate Hicks

Very cool learning about piracy in the mid 19th century… Kinda reminds me of that old movie Nate&Hayes.

That was brill Kevin and it make you think is he part of your family tree, we like the model making again.

Cheers Marco, what a character eh? Not at all like me 😜 Ref the merchandise, we're still tinkering with it, the delivery times with this company are abysmal, so Julie's looking at some other options. You'd like the pint glass I have though, it's the V & me haha.

Kevin Hicks

Excellently told, cool story. And shows how easy a young life can be destroyed by the law. If someone had given him the chance to learn a profession in time, something he would have been really interested in, his life would maybe have turned out to be completely different. Merch now available? (Your sweater)

Makes you wonder ...... how much of that DNA is in your system. But knowing all you know, it makes you a better person, thinking what part of you could be like him make you work even harder to be different.

Excellent video, had no idea who this fellow was. When one checks their family tree, it can be incredible what or who one finds, cheers Kevin!

Dan De Lench

Thanks for the video, it was very interesting, and well researched. Don't worry about being related to him, I have an old west serial killer in my family tree, and I've never harmed anyone. It is just history. Cheers from Texas.

David A Strother

Crazy how you might be related to him!
