Last year I was in Louisville and copied the Rev. War papers on 
James Trice.

October 5, 1840  Mary Trice received pension, age 70, Blount County, VA
1844, Mary Smith Trice was living in Hopkinsville, Kentucky with son Nathan
S. Trice, another son Tandy Trice was mentioned.

Another note of interest is a home in Hopkinsville that was owned by the
above Tandy Trice.
The home is know as the WINFREE HOME, earlier it was the Crockett-Hickman
House.  It is located on the southwest corner of 16th and Clay Streets,
Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Built around 1834
Has been used as a dwelling and as a restaurant.   
    The Crockett-Hickman house was built around 1834 by a local attorney,
Judge Joseph B. Crockett.  When it was completed, the house stood on Maple
(now 16th Street) and was situated on the edge of the residential section.
    Crockett sold the house to Tandy Trice in 1843 for $3,850.  Two years
later Trice sold it to the James F. Buckner family. It remained in the
Buckner family until 1880.
    The place assumed its second name that year when the house was
bought by Dr. Lawson B. Hickman, remaining in this family until 1963.  The
house was extensively remodeled in 1923 when Dr. Hickman's  granddaughter,
Mrs. James B. Winfree and her family moved in.
    An interesting feature of the front lawn for many years have been the
cast-iron figures of a deer and a lion.
    It is said that the house is haunted.   When the house was a
restaurant there were many sightings.
