Despite what these sources claim, I do not believe the available evidence supports David won 600 acres in the Cherokee land lottery.

All tax roll records cited were found in Ancestry.com's (Ancestry) [[Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1893]] collection. According to Ancestry:
<blockquote>This database contains tax digest books for 137 Georgia counties from 1793 - 1892<ref>http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1729&enc=1</ref></blockquote>
The records are indexed and browsable by county and year. The following years are available for Pierce county: 1864, 1868, 1869, 1870,1871, 1873-1877, 1878-1882 , 1883-1887, 1890. Amongst other items, each page contains a list of individuals, the amount of land they owned, and county in which the property was located. Other than names no other personal identifying information is provided.
I believe these documents refer to the subject [[David Hickox]] for two reasons. First, the 1840 lists David Hickox in the 590th Militia District. Second, these documents show know family members owning property in the same general area paying taxes.
===Tax Roll Records===
According to to tax roll records (1864, 1868, 1870, 1871) David owned between 480 and 1315 acres.<ref group="web">[[Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1893]], http://crewsgenealogy.com/tng/showalbum.php?albumID=13</ref> It is currently difficult to for me to decipher these records. I'm not sure if it is the same David Hickox who owns multiple parcels or if each record was for other David Hickox.
