 -------------------------
 Looking for information about Needham Sikes of NC. Born 27 Mar 1789--married
 to Mary Shields also of NC. He came to MO in 1813. Also looking for information
 on a Jesse Sikes who died in MO in 1817 and an Isaiah Sikes who died in
 MO who I know were somehow related to Needham.
 [could this be the male born 1784-1790 in Needham's 1800 household, above?]

 Needham Sikes, a prominent merchant of Sikeston, was born there on June 22, 1851, and is a son of John and Catherine (Stallcup) Sikes. John Sikes made an early settlement in New Madrid county, where he remained a short time and removed to the present site of Sikeston, the town receiving its name in honor of him. He was a prominent merchant and a good citizen, devoted to his family and business, but taking no interest in political affairs. At the time of his death he owned considerable real estate; he was permitted to spend the last part of his life in ease and comfort. He was killed in 1867 by a man by the name of Maulsby, and lived but a few days after he was shot. His widow, who is a native of Scott County, is still living in Sikeston. Their union was blessed with four children, only one of whom, Needham, survives; those deceased are James, Mary A., and an infant unnamed. The subject of this sketch has always resided in his native town, his education, which was begun there, being finished at Caledonia and Arcadia colleges. Upon leaving school he turned his attention to farming, which occupation he very successfully followed until 1881, when he engaged in his present business, at which he has also been successful. He carries a large assortment of hardware, groceries, saddlery, queensware and tinware, also machinery of all kinds. Besides his property in Sikeston he owns some valuable farming land in Scott County. Mr. Sikes was married in October 1879, to Miss Sallie P. Wyatt, of Kentucky, by whom he has had one child, Ethel B. Sikes. Mr. and Mrs. Sikes are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity.
