According to the source, THE KENTUCKY LAND GRANTS, VOL 1, Part 1, Chapter 2, "JAMES HICKMAN received 2000 acres on 29 May 1775 on Boons (sic) Creek in Kentucky for his War service".
Note: According to Kirk Kendrick, "JAMES HICKMAN hired DANIEL BOONE...in 1775 to survey two 2000 acre tracts due him as heir of his brothers RICHARD HICKMAN and THOMAS HICKMAN for their service to the Crown in the French and Indian War [1757 - 1763]. A dispute arose over one of the 2000 acre tracts and the lawsuit which took 23 years to resolve is recorded in the KENTUCKY HISTORICAL REGISTER, Vol 30, pp 344 - 361. The incident is often cited by BOONE's biographers as evidence of BOONE's 'lack of ruthless instincts that speculation demanded'.. BOONE's testimony favored (JAMES) HICKMAN and appears honorable."
