  12. ANTIMASONIC CONVENTION - MEDINA COUNTY

    At a Convention of Delegates from several of the townships of Medina County, opposed to the institution of Freemasonry, convened at the Court House in said county, on Saturday, the 17th day of September, 1831, for the purpose of nominating state and county officers, to be supported at the ensuing election, JOHN HICKOX was called to the chair, WILLIAM C. HARRISON appointed Secretary.
  13. p. 371:
    The first building mentioned was opened as a tavern in the Fall of 1818, and as Mr. Badger was unmarried at that time he associated himself with a man by the name of Hickox, and together they conducted this pioneer hostelry and made it a very popular resort.
  14. p. 178:
    In June, 1817, Esq. Ferris employed John Northrop and N.B. Northrop to hew the timber and frame the first barn built in Medina; it being also the first barn frame that N.B. Northrop had ever superintended as master workman. The timber being green and heavy, help was at that time necessarily obtained, in part, from Liverpool and Brunswick; and, not being able to complete the raising the first day, all had to lie over until morning. Rufus, the youngest son of Esq. Ferris, now living in Lafayette (though then a small boy) says he well remembers that when the rafters and ridge-pole were up, Uncle John Hickox (as he was called) went up on the end rafter and walked the ridge-pole to the other end and down again to the plate.

    The anniversary of American Independence was celebrated at Medina, July 4, 1821, not by the ringing of church bells and the firing of cannon, but by the rustling of leaves, singing of birds and tinkling of cow bells. John Freeze presided, assisted by Dr. B.B. Clark. The Declaration of Independence was read by A.G. Hickox.
