Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Vol. V, pg. 202-203

David Hickox, the progenitor of the large Hickox connection in this part of Southeast Georgia, was born in Connecticut, 13 January 1798. He came to Georgia a young unmarried man, where he met and married Sarah Altman, born 1812 in Wayne County, daughter of Thomas Altman. They were married in 1828. To them were born twenty-one children, of whom apparently six died at birth or in infancy; the other fifteen being as follows:

  1. Elizabeth b. 1829, m. John Matthews of Duval Co. Fla., Jan. 30, 1847.
  2. Thomas b. 1831, m. (unknown)
  3. Drusilla b. 1832, m. John L. Warren, Aug. 18, 1876; no issue.
  4. James b. 1833, m. Nancy McClellan, July 25, 1856, dau. of Andrew of Camden County.
  5. Nancy Hickox b. 1835, m. Simon Smith, Sept. 1, 1853.
  6. Benjamin Hickox b. 1837, m. Elizabeth Crews, dau. of Micajah Crews (Vol. I)
  7. Jonathan David Hickox David b. 1839, m. Lucinda Green.

  13. Harley Jacob Hickox Jacob b. 1849, m. Mrs. Nancy Griffin, dau. of David C. Dowling.
  14. Lavicy Hickox b. 1851, m. Charles T. Lyens (Lyons).
  15. Mary Hickox M. b. 1851, m. Samuel dl. Lyens (Lyons).

The Hickox home and farm was located between the present town of Hoboken and the village of Hickox. He 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.

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 Jan. 11, 1845, to enter into its organization. They continued members there until their deaths. This church is located in the edge of the little village known as Hickox, and is named New Hope Church. Mrs. Hickox died Feb. 2, 1884, and he died Feb. 24, 1887. They were buried in the cemetery at the church.

David Hickox was a private in the Indian War, serving in Capt. James Jones' company, Ware County militia, Aug. 26th to Sept. 15, 1840.
