King-Hickox-(and More) Family Heritage

This site is dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the King, Hickox, and related families (with additional surnames to be included). Its purpose is to document and safeguard photographs, names, documents, and personal histories. If you are able to identify individuals in the photographs below, or can provide context or stories associated with them, please contact me so the photographs may be updated. Contributions of additional family photographs or materials are also welcome to ensure this archive continues to grow. These photographs are from my mother’s photo album, capturing her life growing up in Duncan, Oklahoma during the 1940s - 1950s.

Genealogical records and family trees are available at Familysearch.org, where you can also contribute by adding family information.
