The definitive guide to David Hickox (13 Jan 1798 - 24 Feb 1887)[note 1]
Biographical Sketch
David Hickox (<tng i="700117802198">Family Tree</tng>) is the father of the large Hickox connection in Southeast Georgia. David was born 13 January 1798[headstones 1][books 1] in Connecticut.[census 1][census 2][census 3][census 4][books 1][books 2][note 1][note 2]
Not much is known about David's life prior to coming to Georgia. According to family histories, David and his brother traveled to Georgia from Connecticut to purchase lumber to sell back in Connecticut. During his visit David became quite ill with a fever, while his brother returned to Connecticut with the lumber. David stayed with a local family while he was nursed back to health.[note 3]
He first married Elizabeth Knowles (<tng I="700117802203">Family Tree</tng>, Notes) on 30 Aug 1821 [certs 1]. Elizabeth died along with their first-born child died in childbirth. [histories 1][note 1]
Nine years later he married Sarah Altman in 1828. Sarah was born in 1812[headstones 2], Wayne County Georgia. She was the daughter of Thomas Altman and Lucy Leigh.[census 1][census 2][census 3][census 4][histories 1][books 1]
He drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia[books 3].[note 2].
The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox. David served as Justice of peace of the 590th district, Ware County, 1833-1841. This section of Ware where he lived was cut into Pierce County in its formation partly out of Ware in 1858, and into Brantley County in 1920.[books 1]
He was a private in the Indian War, serving in Capt. James Jones' company, Ware County militia, Aug. 26th to September 15, 1840.
Mr. and Mrs Hickox were faithful members of the Primitive Baptist Church [books 4]. They were originally members of High Bluff Church into which they were received and baptized March 10, 1841. Four years later when the church "on the Buffalo" was organized nearer their home, they were dismissed by letter from the High Bluff Church Jan. 11, 1845, to enter join New Hope Church. They continued members at Hickox until their deaths. David died 24 Feb 1887 in Brantly County, Georgia, United States,and he is burred at New Hope Cemetery.[headstones 1][books 2]
New Hope/Buffalo Primitive Baptist Church formed from the High Bluff Church. It was originally located in Wayne County near Charlton County. (Sometimes referred to as Hickox Church.) Sarah and her husband David are reported to be the first to be buried in the cemetery there.
The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox.
To them were born 21 children, of whom apparently six died at birth or in infancy.

Parents Discussion
The first claims about David's parents being Ruben Hickox (15 Dec 1760 - 1850) and Elizabeth Sickels (1760 - 1845) on the internet seem to have come from 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 David Hickox'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. [email 1]
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.
1880 Census
The "United States Census, 1880", list David's place of birth as Georgia, and his wife Sarah (profile | wiki) as Connecticut[census 4]. This is inconsistent with the 1850-1870 census and other primary sources, and is probably a transcription error made by the census worker.
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. [census 4].
Family History
I am not personally familiar with this family history, but the story does fit into the overall time line of his life. Their are facts that differ from primary sources, and the overall narrative cannot be independently verified.

Notes
- ↑ Georgia USGenWeb Archives Project (Marriages: From 1819 to 1865: Camden County, Georgia (A-Me)) shows David and Eilizabeth's marriage took place 30 Aug 1821, which is differs from their marriage certificate (see State Certificates). I emailed the Nancy Gay Crawford to determine the source of this information. The email as returned deliverable.
