He was the son of Samuel Hickox, and Hannah Upton.
He operated a gristmill which was located behind the present site of the Congregational Church in Wilton where there is a waterfall over the Comstock Brook (the Falls Branch of the Norwalk River). The mill served as a gathering place where local residents organized their efforts for status as a parish. He was the first deacon of the Congregational Church in Wilton.
