The definitive guide to David Hickox (13 Jan 1798 - 24 Feb 1887)

Biographical Sketch

David Hickox[1] is the father of the large Hickox family in the region of Southeast Georgia known as the The Wire Grass Region. David was born 13 January 1798, in Connecticut. [2]

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.[3]

David first married Elizabeth Knowles on 30 Aug 1821.[4] Elizabeth is said to have died along with their first-born child died in childbirth, although no record of her death, burial, or deceased children have been located to date. [5] Seven years later, in 1828, David and Sarah Altman were married.[6]Sarah was born in 1812 in Wayne County Georgia, [7] daughter of Thomas Altman and Lucy Leigh, [8] and died 2 Feb 1884[9].

He drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia [10] where he would have been awarded 160 acres [11]. In 1837, David was awarded 600 acres through a headright grant. See Land Lottery Discussion [D]

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.[12] Later, 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.[F]

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

Children[I]

They had twenty-one children, of whom apparently six died at birth or in infancy and five sirved in the Confederate States Army.

  1. Elizabeth HICKOX married John MATTHEWS in 30 Jan 1847 in Wayne, Georgia, United States
  2. Thomas HICKOX
  3. Drusilla HICKOX, became the second wife John Luther WARREN in 18 Aug 1876 in Pierce, Georgia, United States.

Name Discussion

Middle Name

There is no evidence from primary sources David's middle name was Jonathan or that he even had a middle name. All known sources refer to the subject as David Hickox only. Much of the confusion has likely arrision from his twin sons, David Jonathan Hickox and Jonathan David Hickox, and the many decedents named after one of these three.

Yankee Dave

There is no evidence from primary sources that David had a nick name of "Yankee Dave", in fact, I believe I have identified the source of this idea. I had previously reached out to O.J because I have run across some of his research online, and his work seems to be the source of much of the information online about the Hickox family. In an email he claim “My father and his siblings used that moniker to differentiate between their Great-Great Grandfather David Hickox and his descendants with the same name.”[13] Since then, and without citing their source, this seems to have propagated across the internet and can be found in many places.

Parents Discussion

Many online genealogies list David's parents as Ruben Hickox (15 Dec 1760 - 1850) and Elizabeth Sickels (1760 - 1845). I have been unable to locate any primary sources linking David to these individuals. So far, all documented links appear to be circumstantial (same name, about the same time, in the same state).

The first claims about David's parents being Ruben HICKOX and Elizabeth SICKELS on the internet seem to have come from from Basil King. In the late 1990's, Basil was trying to join the Sons of the American Revolution and needed a documented Revolutionary War ancestor[note 1] He assumed he had found David's parents when he found Ruben and Elizabeth son about David Hickox's age named David. He put the claim on the internet, where it has spread. He eventually rescinded his assertion of David's parentage.[note 2] [??]

Some sources list David's place of birth specifically as New Haven, Connecticut. I have been unable to locate any primary sources to confirm this information.

DNA Evidence

In 2013 O.J. Hickox submitted a DNA sample to ancestry.com. Through their analysis the DNA matched an individual with 95% confidence, whose 3x great grand father was Ruben II HICKOX (1793-1884), a documented son Ruben HICKOX and Elizabeth SICKELS, and a 5th to 8th cousin, with “moderate“ confidence, whose 4x Great Grand Father was also Reuben Hickox. Ancestry.com also matched several other 5th to 8th cousins defending from William HICKOX William Hickox (son of Ruben Hickox II). [note 3]Because we can document O.J. is the 3x great grand son of David this suggests with high degree of likelihood a common male relative, and that male relative is likely Reuben Hickox. Documenting this connection is more difficult.

Other Evidence

In 1842 James Henry HICKOX, eldest son of Reuben and Elizabeth, gave a deposition naming his siblings, including a brother David. [note 4] Further, as is shown below, a bible from the family of a woman who married their son Benjamin Hickox (1793/5-?) also lists a David Hickox as a family member, along with the other siblings of her husband. I received a responce, need to update. While a number of other David Hickoxes of the right approximate age have been found, no clear connection to Reuben and Elizabeth has been established with any of them.

Despite the lack of a clear paper trail our David is a probable candidate for the elusive son of Reuben Hickok and Elizabeth Sickels . He would have been the right age at the right time, and he fits neatly into the chronological list of their children mentioned above. While he is not found in the 1820 census, we know he moved to southern Georgia about that time then because he married Elizabeth Knowles in 1821 (who died soon thereafter). In 1830 the census taker recorded that David was born in Connecticut in 1798. That statement shows up in several later census records[note 5], including those of some of his children. He also drew land in North Georgia in the 1832 land-lottery[note 6], possibly as a result of his father’s Revolutionary War service, in which Reuben Hickox was a veteran. Finally, our family lore records that our David came to Georgia with a brother looking for timber to buy for northern interests, got sick, was taken in by a local family, and met and married a local girl (Knowles) while the brother returned to the north. Family lore also relates that he communicated with relatives in Pennsylvania for some time before the Civil War, and we know that Reuben Hickox II moved there in 1823. None of this identifies the the relative with whom David was communicating, nor does it prove a connection with Reuben and Elizabeth, but it is consistent with both the established facts and family lore.

So, while the DNA points right in their vicinity and the circumstantial evidence is strong, the search for documentation firmly linking our David to Reuben and Elizabeth must continue.[??]

Land Discussion

Land Lottery

One of the most common assertions by online sources is "He drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia, and 600 acres in of land in Wayne County." Which appears to have propagated from "Yankee Dave" Hickox and Sarah Altman Hickox[14], which in turn cites "The Story of Brantley County Georgia" Pg's. 61,147. Georgia held two land lotteries in 1832. The first awarded 160 acre plots[15], while the second lottery, or gold lottery, awarded only 40 acre lots [16]. Individuals were granted multiple entries [15], but it isn't clear to me wither those individuals were actually allowed to win multiple times in the same lottery. Even if they were, David would have needed to win the 1832 Land Lottery four times to win 600 acres. Additionally, the lottery districts were awarded randomly[15], and their would be highly unlikely multiple awards would have been contiguous.

According to WiregrassFamilies.com (defunct as of 12/25/17) the cites The Story of Brantley County Georgia as asserting "David drew lot 232 in Cherokee Co., GA in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia, and 600 acres in of land in Wayne County." [17] While I have been unable to locate this text or examine its sources myself, the evidence doesn't seem to support this assertion. The Cherokee land lottery shows David drew lot 207 on page 232[18], not lot 232.

Beginning in 1783 a head of household living in Georgia could be granted 200 acres of land on his own head-right and fifty acres for each additional family member, including slaves, up to 1000 acres[19]. Currently my research shows David would have been entitled to 550 acres (200 acres for himself + 350 acres for is wife and six children as of 1832). Given most birth date information comes from census records 1850 and later, it is possible David and Sarah had child who died between 1832 and 1850 accounting for the additional 50 acres. According to Index to the headright and bounty grants of Georgia, 1756-1909 David was awarded 600 acres in Wayne County in 1838, six years after the 1832 land lottery.

Tax Roll Discussion

Georgia Malitia Districts in Charlton Coutny.

All tax roll records cited were found in Ancestry.com's (Ancestry) Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1893 collection. According to Ancestry:

This database contains tax digest books for 137 Georgia counties from 1793 - 1892 The records are indexed and browsable by county and year. The following years are available for Pierce county: 1864, 1868, 1869, 1870,1871, 1873-1877, 1878-1882 , 1883-1887, 1890. Amongst other items, each page contains a list of individuals, the amount of land they owned, and county in which the property was located. Other than names no other personal identifying information is provided.[22]

  • two children between the ages of six and eighteen. The 1870 Census recorded one 19 year old, Luvesey Hickox, living with David. Assuming the 1870 census was recorded correctly on 1 June 1870, then their next oldest child, Harley Brandon Hickox, was born between 1849 and 1850, and could have been one of the two children between six and eighteen years old recorded on this tax digest.

File:Georgia, Property Tax Digests, 1793-1893 (1871).jpg[26]

According to to tax roll records (1864, 1868, 1870, 1871) David owned between 480 and 1315 acres.[27] It is currently difficult to for me to decipher these records. I'm not sure if it is the same David Hickox who owns multiple parcels or if each record was for other David Hickox.


I believe these documents refer to the subject David Hickox for two reasons. First, the 1840 lists David Hickox in the 590th Militia District. Second, these documents show know family members owning property in the same general area paying taxes.

Other Notes

1880 Census Note

The 1880 federal census reflects a S. Martha Hickox listed as grand daughter living with David and Sarah. Further research is needed to identify S. Martha Hickox. [28].

David and Elizabeth's Marriage Note

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.


Web Site Discussion

Find A Grave

  • Find a Grave - This site is great for obtaining photo's of the actual headstone, and is the only source that I have been able to locate with a birth date, but any information not specifically in the photo should be verified. For example, I submitted a correction request via their website to remove Jonathan and "Yankee Dave" from the listing on 12/27/17, but it didn't ask for any justification for my request, and said they would contact the memorial owner.

    Conflicting evidence. The "United States Census, 1880", list David's place of birth as Georgia, and his wife Sarah Altman as Connecticut. The 1880 census is inconsistent with the 1850-1870 censuses along and other sources. The error is likely a transcription error made by the census taker.

Notes

  1. . In light of the recent DNA evidence, Basil's research may now be relevant to David Hickox. According to the NSSAR Record Copy Clerk Basil joined under Nathan Sweat[??]. Nathan is not known to be an ancestor at this time.
  2. Basil originally found Reuben and Elizabey by census records for all the David Hickoxes of about the age of our David. It was then that he thought was our David as the son of Reuben (I) & Eliz. Hickox. Later Basil found found (now believed to be incorrectly) Reuben and Elizabeth's David living in the mid-west with his widowed mother Elizabeth during the time when our David was clearly living in Georgia. I think he somehow confused this latter David with the son of Reuben & Eliz. that we now have good reason to believe was our YD, and retracted his assertion that he had found YD’s parents. [??]
  3. For help understanding these relationships, see Ruben's decendancy chart.
