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 3]

He first married Elizabeth KNOWLES on 30 Aug 1821 . Elizabeth died along with their first-born child died in childbirth. [B][histories 1][note 1] Nine years later, in 1830, he married Sarah ALTMAN in 1828. Sarah was born in 1812, Wayne County Georgia. She was the daughter of Thomas Altman and Lucy Leigh.[C]

He drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia.In 1837 David was awarded 600 acers through a headlight grant.[D][note 2]

The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox.[E]

He was a private in the Indian War, serving in Capt. James Jones' company, Ware County militia, Aug. 26th to September 15, 1840. Later, David served as Justice of peace of the 590th district, Ware County, 1833-1841.

Mr. and Mrs Hickox were faithful members of the Primitive Baptist Church [books 2]. 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. [note 3]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.[G][books 1][headstones 1][books 3] Sarah and her husband David are reported to be the first to be buried in the cemetery there.

Parents Discussion

David Hickox/Parents

1880 Census

The "United States Census, 1880", list David's place of birth as Georgia, and his wife Sarah (profile | wiki) as Connecticut[census 5]. This is inconsistent with the 1850-1870 census and other primary sources, and is probably a transcription error made by the census worker.

In 1880 their is an S. Martha Hickox listed as grand daughter living with David and Sarah. Further research is needed to identify S. Martha Hickox. [census 5].

Family History

I am not personally familiar with this family history, but the story does fit into the overall time line of his life. Their are facts that differ from primary sources, and the overall narrative cannot be independently verified.
