Biographical Sketch
David Hickox is the progenitor of the large Hickox connection in Southeast Georgia. David was born 13 January 1798[headstones 1][books 1] in Connecticut.[census 1][census 2][census 3][census 4][books 1][books 2][note 2][note 3]
Not much is known about David's life prior to coming to Georgia. According to family histories, David and his brother traveled to Georgia from Connecticut to purchase lumber to sell back in Connecticut. During his visit David became quite ill with a fever, while his brother returned to Connecticut with the lumber. David stayed with a local family while he was nursed back to health.[note 4]
He first married Elizabeth Knowles on 30 Aug 1821 [certs 1]. Elizabeth died along with their first-born child died in childbirth. [histories 1][note 5]
Nine years later he married Sarah Altman in 1828. Sarah was born in 1812[headstones 2], Wayne County Georgia. She was the daughter of Thomas Altman and Lucy Leigh.[census 1][census 2][census 3][census 4][histories 1][books 1]
He drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia[books 3].[note 6].
The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox. David served as Justice of peace of the 590th district, Ware County, 1833-1841. This section of Ware where he lived was cut into Pierce County in its formation partly out of Ware in 1858, and into Brantley County in 1920.[books 1]
He was a private in the Indian War, serving in Capt. James Jones' company, Ware County militia, Aug. 26th to September 15, 1840.
Mr. and Mrs Hickox were faithful members of the Primitive Baptist Church [books 4]. They were originally members of High Bluff Church into which they were received and baptized March 10, 1841. Four years later when the church "on the Buffalo" was organized nearer their home, they were dismissed by letter from the High Bluff Church Jan. 11, 1845, to enter join New Hope Church. They continued members at Hickox until their deaths. David died 24 Feb 1887 in Brantly County, Georgia, United States,and he is burred at New Hope Cemetery.[headstones 1][books 2]
New Hope/Buffalo Primitive Baptist Church formed from the High Bluff Church. It was originally located in Wayne County near Charlton County. (Sometimes referred to as Hickox Church.) Sarah and her husband David are reported to be the first to be buried in the cemetery there.
The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox.
To them were born 21 children, of whom apparently six died at birth or in infancy.

- ↑ Georgia USGenWeb Archives Project (Marriages: From 1819 to 1865: Camden County, Georgia (A-Me)) shows David and Eilizabeth's marriage took place 30 Aug 1821, which is differs from their marriage certificate (see State Certificates). I emailed the Nancy Gay Crawford to determine the source of this information. The email as returned deliverable.
