===DNA Evidence===

In 2013 [[O.J. Hickox]] submitted a DNA sample to ancestry.com. Through their analysis the DNA matched an individual with 95% confidence, whose 3x great grand father was {{Notes links first and last |First_Name =Ruben II |Last_Name =HICKOX  |TNG_ID =700117802198}} (1793-1884), a documented son {{Notes links first and last  |First_Name =Ruben |Last_Name =HICKOX  |TNG_ID =700117802198}} and {{Notes links first and last  |First_Name =Elizabeth |Last_Name =SICKELS  |TNG_ID =700117802294}}, and a 5th to 8th cousin, with “moderate“ confidence, whose 4x Great Grand Father was also Reuben Hickox. Ancestry.com also matched several other 5th to 8th cousins defending from {{Notes links first and last  |First_Name =William |Last_Name =HICKOX  |TNG_ID =700117802296}} William Hickox (son of Ruben Hickox II). <ref>For help understanding these relationships, see Ruben's [http://crewsgenealogy.com/tng/descend.php?personID=I700117802293&tree=Jason-Shannon&display=compact&generations=3 decendancy chart].</ref>Because we can document O.J. is the 3x great grand son of David this suggests with high degree of likelihood a common male relative, and that male relative is likely Reuben Hickox.  Documenting this connection is more difficult.

I believe the best way to put this to rest would be to perform a Y-DNA test on a documented male decedent of David Hickox, and another documented decedent of of of Ruben's other son's.  If they share the same Y-DNA it would conclusive prove a common male ancestor.
