Robert Lee Wickliffe was born in January 1872 in the city of Boggess, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was the youngest of three children born to William Washington Wickliffe and Sarah Jane Porter. 

Around 1897, Robert married a woman named Lilly Frankie Moore, probably in Montague County, Texas.  Robert was 25 years old and Lilly was 24 years.  Lilly was born in August 1875 in Tennessee.  After their marriage, Robert and Lilly settled in Montague County, Texas.  They are the parents of eight children as follows:

            Robert Garland                     born June 23, 1898
            Lilly Marteal                           born in March 1900

            (Child)                                    born after 1900
            Juanita                                   born in 1913

Robert’s occupation varied over the years; in 1900 he was a Stockman, in 1910 a Cattle Trader, and in 1920 a Grocery Retail Merchant.  By 1920, Robert and Lilly had relocated their family to a home on Katherine Street in Chilliclothe, in Hardeman County, Texas.
