The 1820 and prior census, only required the name of the head of house hold to be recorded<ref> {{Citation:Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses From 1790 to 2000.pdf/Citation Listing}} 6.</ref>, and <blockquote>any person who, at the time of taking the number of any family, has his usual abode in it, is, nevertheless, notto be included in the return of that family, if his usual place of abode was, on the first Monday of August, in another family. The name of every person having no settled place of residence, is to be inserted in the columns of the schedule allotted for the heads of families in the division where such person shall be on the first Monday of August.<ref>{{Citation:Measuring America: The Decennial Censuses From 1790 to 2000.pdf/Citation Listing}} 7.</ref></blockquote>
This suggests four possibilities.
#David lived in Georgia, living with another family, and enumerated with in that household,
#David lived in Connecticut on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}}, and enumerated with a family in that state.
#David did not live in Georgia or Connecticut on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}},
#David was not enumerated in any location.
===David lived in Georgia on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}}===
Future avenues of research include reviewing families on the 1820 census found near David on the 1830 and look for unexpected numbers in his age group with these other families. While not definitive, when combined with other research it may narrow the time frame David moved to the area.
===David lived in Connecticut on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}}===
Future research to review Hickox families in Conecticut
===David lived in a state other than than Georgia or Connecticut on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}}===
===David was not enumerated on {{#show: United States Census, 1820 | ?has enumeration date}}===
