Wayne (now Brantley) County
Isaac Hickox was born in 1844 to David Jonathan "Yankee Dave" Hickox and Sarah Altman who were early settlers of Wayne County, Georgia. David and Sarah had six sons to fight in the Confederacy; James J., Benjamin Franklin, Jonathan David, David Jonathan, Perry and Isaac Hickox. Of these sons David Jonathan and Isaac didn't survive the war.
Isaac enlisted at Waynesville, Georgia as a private with his horse in Company "K", 4th Regiment Georgia Cavalry on 20 October 1862. His muster roles show he was paid $24.00 for the use of the horse and also show that he enlisted for the length of the war. He was present through April 1863, his name appears on a register of officers and soldiers of the Army of the Confederate States who were killed in battle, or who died of wound or disease on 30 May 1863 at Waynesville, Georgia. Muster roll doesn't state cause of death. Since he died at Waynesville where there was a Confederate Hospital and Cemetery, it is believed that Isaac is buried in the Confederate Soldiers Cemetery at Waynesville, Georgia.
A Confederate marker was ordered by Ann I. Keene and placed in the cemetery by SCV members.
On 06 May 2012 the Confederate Grave Marker of Isaac Hickox was dedicated, by the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Brigade #2637, the Brantley County, Georgia Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Mary Cross Hendricks received the Confederate Cavalry Flag, Mary is a descendant of one of Isaac's brothers.
