Comparing the 1860 and 1870 census raises several concerns. First, their is a two year age difference between the two Nancy's.  While possible one or both of the informants provided incorrect information to the census taker, to me this suggests they may not have been the same individual.  Second, what happened to the husband and children between the censuses?  We would expect the oldest child, Matthew,  on the 1860 census to have been 15 wich is probably still to young to have been out on her own.  Why are both Matthew and Aaron unaccounted for?  It is, however, constant that Nancy may have moved in with her fathers family if her husband died between 1860 and 1870.

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, wich seems reasonable for a marriageable age (if not a bit old 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>.  Pierce County was created December 18, 1857, from Appling and Ware counties <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_County,_Georgia</ref>, as a result, I believe the Hickox family did not move and the marriage index is consistant with what we know of Nancy.

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.
