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.

This avenue of research presents some challenges. First, the format of the censuses during this time only include tallies of the individuals in the household within age and gender ranges. Without more information about the family, births and deaths will be difficult to follow.

Most of our research assumes David lived in Connecticut prior to coming to Georgia because of the birth place listed on the census records, and family histories, but we have yet to locate any evidence that this is the case.  David could have been born in Connecticut and his fmaily moved to another state prior to him coming to Georgia.  This suggests through examination of other Hickox families in other states may be needed. Any other Hickox families living out of the state with birth places in Connecticut may be a clue.

Once all other possibilities have been thoroughly explored, this may be what happened.
