| Cousins, siblings, and off-spring, it’s time to bring you up to date on a significant development with regard to our ancestry. As many of you may know, I and others of our kin have long pursued the antecedents of our ancestor David “Yankee Dave” Hickox. In recent times, a number of postings on the Internet have begun to claim that they were Reuben (1760-1850) and Elizabeth Sickles (1766-1851) Hickox of New Haven CN. Unfortunately, none of those posting were accompanied by the requisite sources or other documents proving those claims. Accordingly, I have been skeptical of, and unwilling to accept, their claims. | | Cousins, siblings, and off-spring, it’s time to bring you up to date on a significant development with regard to our ancestry.
