Looking for the parents of William Cox b. 1804 in VA or NC and possibly lives in TN. I think with the info I have he may have been born in the area where VA, NC and TN all meet. That was also Cherokee Territory. His Mother I believe to be Native American. The only sibling I know of is a much younger brother Henry. Who moved to MO with William and also married the sister of William's wife. I find William in Sangamon County, ILL in the mid 1820's he marries Jane Hohimer in 1829 and then they move to Mo in about 1832. They stay in that area and he dies in 1871. I have a feeling he is part of a much larger group of Cox 's but I just can not get that connection, it is there but a piece is missing and so the other pieces I have just don't fit.

My Cox family first shows up in Kentucky (Adair County, then Green County) in the 1810's-40's, then moved to Illinois (Morgan County, then Sangamon County).

I started a Cox group yesterday and found out you did to, I have deleted my Cox group and joining this one. My Cox's are from the Seattle, Washington area. This line is still in the early stages, they are still living and I haven't searched further back yet.

Joseph Cox (1811 KY or AL-1899 Chester County, Tennessee). Lived in Hardeman and McNairy Counties, Tennessee. His father was allegedly a guy named Daniel Cox, born 1761 NJ. I am looking for proof or even circumstantial evidence other than oral family history. I would love to find Daniel Cox in just one official record.

That is interesting you began a group for Cox. I am interested in the Missouri branch of Cox! I do have a little info to contribute!

Thanks!

I am interested in finding out more about my family as well. My grandfather's name was John Howard Cox Jr. He was from Potts Camp, MS and was born in 1926 I believe.

Martha....he might tie in with your line....let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi Nancy, I am absolutely interested! My grandfather William James was born in Jersey City, New Jersey: his father's name was William Joseph Cox(36 at the time of the 1920 census), and his mother was Mabel Cox -maiden name Smyth or Smythe - (18 at the time of census). I really want to find out more of my lineage, through the Cox line as well as the Smythe/Smyth line - I think that if I can find out more about the Cox line, maybe I'll be able to find out more about the Smythe line, possibly through my grandfather's grandparents...

thanks so much for any help anyone can give me!

I am a descendant of William Cox who served in the American Revolution. He was from NJ/NY. I have extensive records on some of his descendants.
I have a copy of the book "The Cox Family in America" by Henry Miller Cox and am willing to do look-ups if anyone is interested.

I'm working on a Cox line in northern Mississippi (Tishomingo and Alcorn counties). I'm still cleaning up the Mississippi mess, so to speak, but the family originally hails from South Carolina and came through Alabama before stopping in Mississippi in the 1850's.
