There aren’t any documents. My father and his siblings used that moniker to differentiate between their Great-Great Grandfather David Hickox and his descendants with the same name, particularly a grandson who was named after him, their grandfather David Eugene Hickox. They called DEH “Grand-Pa Dave” and their Great-Great Grandfather “Yankee Dave” to avoid confusion between the two of them. Because there are so many other Davids in the family (my brother is one of them), that habit seems to have caught on with much of the rest of the family.
