The erroneous info about YD’s parents being Ruben Hickox (15 Dec 1760 - 1850) and Elizabeth Sickels (1760 - 1845) came from Basil King.  In the late 1990's,  Basil was trying to get into the Sons of the American Revolution and needed a documented Revolutionary War ancestor. He assumed he had found David's  parents when he found Ruben and Elizabeth son about YD’s age named David. Unfortunately, he put this claim on the Internet, where it has spread. He later found this David Hickox in a post-Civil War census living with his widowed mother in the mid-west during the time our David was clearly living in South Georgia. Once realized rescinded his assertation of David's parentage, but it is still out there gaining acceptance all the while. <ref group="email">File:Gmail - David Hickox.pdf</ref>

Some sources list David's place of birth specifically as New Haven, Connecticut. I have been unable to locate any primary sources to confirm this information.

In 1880 their is an [[S. Martha Hickox]] listed as grand daughter living with David and Sarah.  Further research is needed to identify S. Martha Hickox. <ref group="census" name="fed1880" />.
