===Find A Grave===
*[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/33589407 Find a Grave] - This site is great for obtaining photo's of the actual headstone, and is the only source that I have been able to locate with a birth date, but any information not specifically in the photo should be verified. For example, I submitted a correction request via their website to remove Jonathan and "Yankee Dave" from the listing on 12/27/17, but it didn't ask for any justification for my request, and said they would contact the memorial owner.

After a few days, the memorial owner has approved the changes and the website now reflects more closely what we have actual evidence for. Always review primary sources, in this case the actual picture of the head stone, to verify the information on the website is correct. This is a good example of why nothing online should be taken at face value.

*[https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/david-hickox_27164054 Ancestry] - This site is great for getting started on your research journey of David. It has several well documented facts, but nothing groundbreaking or new. It also has a tendency to include unsubstantiated "facts" without documentation or evidence. The ease at which this information can now be copied and published online has begun to change the perception of these claims by many hobbyists from speculative, which is clear of you spend the time to find the origins of these claims, to something accepted as common knowledge. This is dangerous, because sound research can easily be lost.
