David Hix (Hicks) b. 1719- d. 1792-- Father of "Big Sammy"
[David's father was Samuel Hicks b. 1695 who lived on Tuckahoe Creek, Goochland Co., Virginia. This is proven by an affidavit given by Nathaniel Whitlow's son, Solomon. In Goochland Court Records David was exempted from paying county levies when he turned 21 in 1737. He was appointed to road crew in 1745 and later that year fails to appear in court to contest "Case of trespass" and was fined - which was held against his properties. After this he disappears, probably moving away from the family. Rumored to be a loyalist, was David trying to avoid the rising tensions with England which resulted in war? We know his nephew Harris Hicks served in the Revolutionary War for him and he moved about that time to Valle Crucis (Watagua County) North Carolina. We know his eldest son "Big Sammy" Hicks (b. 1753) also moved to the same area about that time.
They were among the first settlers in the area known by my grandfather as Beech Mountain and it's likely that David and Big Sammy brought some ballads and songs from the Hicks family at Tuckahoe Creek with them.
R. Matteson 2014]
David Hicks was the father of "Big Sammy" (Samuel Hicks) and settled in the Beech Mountain, NC area around 1777 with his son. His father was Samuel Hix (Hicks) 1695- c.1772 and his mother Diana Willis. Samuel Sr.'s will was written March 17, 1770, and recorded November 1772. He died around 1772. In his will, Absolom is his son and Absolom's son as Bishop, that Nathaniel Witlow married Diana (Hix) and their son is Solomon. That he has a grandson David from his son, Samuel Jr.; that Jacob Woodall (Woodhall) married his daughter Agnes Hix and they had a son, James; And that the had a son Henry.

David has a second residence near Banner Elk, called the "improvement" which was referred top as a camp. [Smith] He got his nickname "The Tory" because of his alignment with the British he (and his son Big Sammy) moved to Valle Crucis around 1776 when the Revolutionary War began. This account was written in Harman Genealogy with Biographical Sketches': David Hix (The article incorrectly had Sammy HIX throughout- I've changed it) was the first to settle in Watauga County, North Carolina. He owned all of Valle Crucis and was there during the Revolutionary War. He concealed himself in his shanty, which he pointed out as his 'improvement'. Later, he sold Valle Crucis 'for a rifle, a dog and a sheepskin to Benjamin WARD', who sold it to Reuben MAST. David then got land at the mouth of Cove Creek, but Ward also got this and sold it to a man named SUMMERS. SUMMERS, his wife and five children, were drowned one night in a freshet of Watauga River called the 'Summer Fresh'. In 1816, David HIX obtained 126 acres. His gravestone is below St. Judes Post Office a quarter of a mile below Antioch Baptist Church. He seemed not to be reconciled to the American Government and continued to hide during the day, only going home at dark for supplies. His five sons were mischievious, and delighted in frightening him.
[The purchase on 126 acres was likely done by his son David Jr.-- since he was dead.]

At the outbreak of the Revolution he lived on Peters Creek in Surry (now Stokes) County, North Carolina. He was a Loyalist, and -- not wishing to moved to Canada, Florida, or the British Islands -- he left his property in Surry County, settling in the Watauga area in 1777. The Oath of Allegiance was also being demanded of the residents of the Watauga area, but the population was generally more tolerant of Loyalists than in the Surry County area. He established a homestead at Valle Crucis in what is now Watauga County, North Carolina. For reasons of safety, he established a second residence near what is now Banner Elk. Banner Elk was in Burke County, North Carolina, from 1777 to 1833, when it became part of the newly-formed Yancey County. The area was later part of Mitchell County, and is presently in Avery County. David never acquired formal title to his Banner Elk property, although he appears to have lived there most of the time. He acquired title to the Valle Crucis property only in 1791, when he received it in a state grant. The Valle Crucis property was part of Washington County, Tennessee, until 1792, at which times it became part of Wilkes County, North Carolina. In David's will, which was probated in Wilkes County, he describes himself as a resident of Washington County.
It is thought that he had more children than are documented, and some of his near neighbors in Burke County in 1790 may have been sons or relatives. These include Willis Hicks, a lieutenant in the Tennessee militia, who later moved to Christian County, Kentucky, and Claiborn Hicks, who later settled in Russell County, Virginia.
His memory has become vague among his descendants, many of whom confuse him with his son, Big Sammy; in some branches of the family, it is Big Sammy who is remembered as "the Tory." There are some hints that David had been a British soldier, including a story that he insisted on being buried in his British Army uniform, but no evidence of such service has been found. John Henry and Mattie Hicks and Barnabas Hicks, authors of The Hicks Families of Western North Carolina (Watauga River Lines) (Boone, North Carolina: Minor's Printing, 1991) consider it more likely that he served in the Virginia militia and may have served in the French and Indian War or Lord Dunmore's War. In both of these wars, large militia contingents from Virginia served along with the British regulars. The militia units had various uniforms which differed from those of the regulars.
4. David ("the Tory") Hicks, born ca. 1719 in Goochland Co., Virginia "on Tuckahoe Creek which is now within the City of Richmond." He died in 1792 or 1793 in Wilkes Co., NC. His wife was Sarah Dennis and he was the father of five children:
1. Samuel, "Big Sammy" 1753
2. David Jr. (1756-1840) Married Nancy Thomas (b.1753) in 1778. David served in the Virginia Militia, in 1777 joined Corbett's Regiment during the Revolutionary War, becoming a Sargent. In Oct. 20, 1780 joined Col. George Rogers Clarks Illinois Regiment has he went up the Kaskaskia River in Illinois.
3. Catherine, m. John Holzclaw.
4. Sarah (b. ca. 1760), 1st m. Charles Asher, Jr., and 2nd James D. Holzclaw.
5. Dinah (b. ca. 1764), m. 1st Thomas Asher and 2nd Henry Heatley.

Below is the Will of Samuel Hix, who is not David's father but lived in Goochland, Virginia at the same time (b. 1695) David was growing up. There is confusion between these two lines.
Biography
On June 5, 1732/33, according to Will and Deed Book 1 of Goochland County, VA Samuel Hicks, planter of that county and state, mortgaged his 69 acres of land for five shillings sterling money of Great Britain. In the mortgage, mention is made of a quarry being on the property.
The 1747 List of Tithables in Goochland Co. VA named three white males age 16 and over in the home of Samuel Hicks, Sr. These were: Samuel Hicks, Snr; his eldest son Henry Hicks; and his son Samuel Hicks, Jnr. [This means that if Absalom was a son and living at home, he would have been under age 16.]
The children listed in this profile for Samuel and Diana need verification.
1.The first-listed Henry (b. 1699) and William (b. 1700) both have birthdates before Samuel's marriage to Diana Willis. 2. Stephen, Catherine, and Frederick were all born after 1738; since Diana turned 50 in 1736, it is highly unlikely they were her children. (They have been removed; see note on this page). 3. The following children are explicitly mentioned in Samuel's will (see below): Samuel Jr., Henry, Diana (Whitlow), and Agnes (Woodal). Also Adslom (Absalom) is mentioned but only as the father of Bishop. Possible that Absalom was a son. Also named are five grandchildren: Bishop, son of Adslom (Absalom); James Woodal, Nan[c]y Hix Whitlow, Solomon Whitlow, and David, son of Samuel Jr.
Sometime during the year of 1764 Samuel Hicks bought land in North Carolina. We know this from the records of Granville Co. NC. On October 22, 1764, Robert Harris, Snr. Esquire, brother and executor of the estate of Captain Sherwood Harris, Snr., for an unknown sum of money, granted 100 acres of land to Samuel Hicks, Snr. This land was located on Tabbs Creek, Granville County, NC. Two of the witnesses to the deed were Absalom Hicks and Mary Harris Hicks, his wife.

Solomon Whitlow, aged 70 years on April 22, 1832 [thus born April 22, 1762], made an affidavit on September 11, 1832 in Orange County, NC Superior Court on behalf of his first cousin Harris Hicks, son of Absalom Hicks, regarding Harris Hicks' Revolutionary War service [Revolutionary War Pension Application W4989]. Solomon Whitlow stated:
"That at about the age of three years his parents removed from Hanover County in the State of Virginia and settled on Tabbs Creek in the County of Granville & State of North Carolina. That his mother was the sister of Absalom Hicks who had married and settled in the neighborhood of his father and within about a mile or mile and a half of him – That said Absalom Hicks died and left 3 sons, Bishop Hicks, Absalom Hicks, and Harris Hicks. . . he well remembers that said Harris Hicks, being a young active man without a wife or family or other encumbrance, he was, with but little or at least very short animation in service, almost in constant service in the Army either by draft or as a substitute – This affiant well remembers that he performed a tour of 3 months duty for Jeremiah Frazier Senior but where he was called in this service, he is unable to say but he knows that said Harris received of the said Frazier a mare and 2 cows and calves for taking his place in the Army. He also remembers that Harris Hicks performed part of another tour as a substitute for David Hicks his uncle – David Hicks was in service and desirous of going home to his family. A tour of Harris had just expired and he was prevailed upon to take his uncle's place and did so for some compensation but what this affiant cannot remember – The Term of service of Harris in this Tour this affiant thinks was for 2 months."

Solomon Whitlow was the son of Nathaniel Whitlow and Diana Hicks/Hix, and is named as Nathaniel Whitlow's son in the March 17, 1770 will of Samuel Hix of Granville County, NC (Proven November, 1772). His affidavit establishes that his mother Diana (Hicks) Whitlow was the sister of Absalom Hicks, who had sons Bishop, Absalom, and Harris Hicks. It also indicates that David Hicks was the uncle of Harris Hicks, and thus the brother of Absalom Hicks and Diana (Hicks) Whitlow.
Solomon Whitlow also applied for a Revolutionary War Pension in Person County, NC on December 19, 1832 (W8218).
-----------------
The Hix(e) family was in eastern-VA in the 1600s and 1700s, and several of them were then in Goochland Co., VA on the 1746/1747 tithe lists there. A Samuel Hix, Senior married a Diane Willis around 1700 in eastern-VA, and that Samuel Hix, Senior was apparently the older Samuel Hix who was in Goochland by the 1740s (living with him was a Samuel Hix, Junior and a Henry Hix, as I recall).
There was also a Robert Willis and a William Willis on the Goochland tithe lists, and I understand from another researcher that a David Willis was also there about that same time (though I don't see David Willis on my copy of the tithe lists).
Per other data that I have seen (unverified by me), a Henry Willis from this "Goochland Willis family" moved to Caswell Co., NC. MAYBE some of the Hix family members moved there, as well. It appears from your post that there was a man named Willis Hix who was a brother of Nancy and Elizabeth Hix (correct?), and records show that Samuel Hix, Senior and Diane Willis had one or more descendants named Willis Hix.
It appears that one of the daughters of Samuel Hix, Senior and Diana Willis in Goochland married a William Davidson from my family. William and his Hix wife had a son named Goulder Davidson, and Samuel Hix, Senior and Diane Willis had a son named Goulder Hix (who also appeared on the Goochland Co., VA tithe list in the 1740s, and Goulder Hix lived only two houses away from William Willis). William Davidson and his Hix wife also named sons Richard and John, and these names also came from the "Hix side of the family."
In 1795, a William Willis married a granddaughter of William Davidson's named Levinia Davidson. This marriage was in Patrick Co., VA, and the "William Davidson family" had moved to that general area of VA in the late-1760s (from Buckingham Co., VA). I do not know, however, if that William Willis in Patrick Co., VA in 1795 was also a member/descendant of the "Goochland Co., VA Willis family" (but I certainly suspect that he was).
The oldest known Samuel Hix, Senior was apparently a son of a John Hixe (born in the 1600s) and his wife Sarah Preston. One of John and Sarah (Preston) Hixe's several other sons was named Thomas Hix, and Thomas was closely associated with my ancestor David Davidson back in Chrales City Co., VA in the 1730s.
One of the branches of this Hix(e) family had other/later men named Samuel Hix who moved to NC, and one was known as "Little Sammy Hix." If you go to the Avery County message board for NC on RootsWeb, there are a couple of long posts there by an Audrey Franklin. You can also find these by just doing a search for "Goulder" on that message board. She lists many Hix/Hicks, including yet another/later Goulder Hicks (1790-1860). A Goulder Harmon, son of Sabra Hicks and Andrew Harmon, is also listed.
The above-mentioned posts start with a Samuel Hicks (1753-1835), and it shows that he married Sarah Nancy Harmon. I had thought at first that he was probably the Samuel Hix, Jr. who lived with Samuel Hix, Senior in Goochland in the 1740s, but that Samuel "Junior" in Goochland is shown as being having been married to a Frances Wyatt (versus a Harmon) on another record that I found, plus Samuel "Junior" was shown as having died in 1789 (versus 1835) in that record. As such, I'm not exactly sure who the father of the Samuel Hix who married Sarah Nancy Harmon was. In any case, it is interesting to note that the unusual name of "Goulder" was also used in this "NC branch" of the Hix/Hixe family.

Notes for WILLIS HICKS:
"The Preemptors, Middle Tennessee's First Settlers" Vol.1 of a series of Early Tennessee Land Records by Irene Griffey. According to the book, when North Carolina promised to pay the Rev. War soldiers in land and in 1782 made most of Middle Tennessee including what is now Dickson County a Military Reservation, the government found that settlers were already living on some of the land before it could be given in "land grants" to the soldiers. So the state of North Carolina sent three men, Anthony Bledsoe, Isaac Shelby and Absalom Tatum to survey the boundaries and to settle up with the current settlers by granting them "pre-emption" certificates. Each head of family and single male over the age of 21 and living on the land before June of 1780 was entitled to a grant of 640 acres. The author cautions that it may not even have been the "original" settler on the land, but it was the person that the appointed trio found on the land in 1782-3 and determined that person to be eligible. The second part of the book lists the PAYROLL OF MILITIA OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS ON AN EXPEDITION AGAINST THE CHICAMAUGA INDIANS IN 1787 from what was to be Davidson and Sumner Counties.
Willis Hicks is mentioned in the above book: Willis Hicks is listed in Davidson County as paid in 1790 for service in the 1787 expedition.
