Narrative
Post by Michael Tuttle:
"Your Jacob was likely a son of John Hix and unknown wife. According to George Hicks' entry in The History of Stokes County, Volume I, John Hix in 1784 was living where the Old Quaker Road (modern-day Hwy 66) crosses Big Branch Creek, about one quarter mile southeast of Martin's Rock House. The 1790 census has the John Hicks family as six persons, three males and two females.
John Hix/Hicks was son of Henry Hix, who died in 1761. John was apprenticed (bound) to Benjamin Merrell, Captain of the Regulators, at age 15 in April of 1761 after Henry's estate was settled by Henry's brother David.
Interesting sidenote: according to the diaries of the Moravian Brethren, the wife and son of Henry Hix were kidnapped by Cherokee in 1759, carried off to the Cherokee Town, recovered by Waddell's Militia in 1761, after the death of Henry Hix."

| Narrative |
"Sally Hixt" "granddaughter" referred to in John Hixt, Sr will of 1806 follows entry for "daughter-in-law, Polly Hixt", probably means she is daughter of Jacob and Polly. See daughter in 1810 Census.
Name: Jacob Hicks He was a bondsman for the marriage of Adam Huffines and Peggy Forkum. It is possible Jacob is Elizabeth's brother instead, as well as a John Hicks and Frederick Hicks, who are clearly older too. Only Hicks in Salisbury with the Huffines is Thomas Hicks in 1800. Thomas is also in Surry in 1790. Jacob Hicks (Haixt) was also bondsman for marriage of Margaret Hicks and George Mock 20 Dec, 1814 Surry Co, NC
The common spelling of Haixt in the marriage records of Surry at that time ( even when other Hicks marriages were recorded ) implies all these were related: This is probably him - http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?thomas,stokes::hicks::10299.html
Since he is not in the 1800 Census, this could be his marriage:
