The Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944 index from ancestry asserts a marriage between Simon Smith and Nancy Hickox on 1 Sep 1855 in Wayne County, Georgia<ref>{{Citation:Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944/Citation Listing}}</ref>. This record is an index only and does not containing any other personally identifying information we can match against our Nancy in question. However we can calculate that our Nancy Hickox would have been about 20 years old at the time of this marriage, which seems reasonable for the time. According to the 1850 census <ref>1850</ref>David Hickox's and family did reside in ware county. The 1860 census asserts David Hickox's family lived in Pierce Count<ref>1860</ref>.

Georgia, Marriage Records From Select Counties, 1828-1978 asserts a marriage between Ebenezer Harris and Nancy Hickox on 1 Sep 1853 in Wayne County, Georgia<ref>{{Citation:Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944/Citation Listing}}</ref>. As with the previous record, this index only and does not containing any other personally identifying information we can match against our Nancy in question. Nancy would have been 18 at the time of this marriage, a plausible marrying age. The location of the index is problematic. The index asserts Nancy and Ebenezer were married in Wayne County in 1853, however, Wayne county appears to not to have been formed until 1857.

Georgia, Marriage Records From Select Counties, 1828-1978 <ref>http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4766</ref> appears to contain the acutal image mentioned in the The Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944 index of Nancy Hickox Ebenezer Harris. It appears that the ancestry database has a transcription error, and the marriage record is actually for Simon Smith and Nancy Hickox. Ebenezer Harris being the individual who obtained the marriage certificate. The record itself coincides with The Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944, an is probably the primary source record.
