I have no idea if you are the link I'm looking for, but you share a last name with my grandfather. It's always good to start somewhere!
My grandfather was William James Cox, born in Jersey City on July 21, 1919. He served in World War II, and passed away September 22, 1984. From what I understand, you have a pretty extensive knowledge of your family tree. Is my grandfather anywhere on there?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.

I am interested in an Annie J Cox b abt 1854 AL m 15 Feb 1872 to William Jackson in Bullock Co., AL. William died Oct 1873 leaving his wife pregnant with my grandfather. Annie remarried to John Boswell. They are on the 1880 Greenwood, Bullock, AL census with John and Annie's two sons. There was a third born later that year. John's sister-in-law Louisa E Cox lives with them. I think these women may be daughters of Levi Cox 1806 SC and Rebecca Susan UNK (married first a Thomas) who m 26 Nov 1847 Montgomery Co., AL. Annie died about 1883. Any information on this Cox group would be appreciated.
My early Cox ancestor was John Needham Cox (1823-1897) and is buried in Camp Swamp Cemetery in Horry County, SC. This cemetery is located on the SC/NC state line about twenty miles inland from the coastline.
My Great Grandmother's name was Annie Cordelia Cox and she was born May 13,1869 in Missouri, her father's name was John B. Cox and her mother's name was Elizabeth Huffman. Does anyone have any information on John B. Cox?
My Cox ancestors were from Orange County North Carolina & Greenville County South Carolina. Earliest I have connected to is William Richardson Coxe, born about 1736 in North Carolina.
I am tied into the Cox name thru Alma Cox and Emma Rebecca Cox, both children of William Cox and Rebecca Fox who came to the United States from Kettering, England in the late 1800s and settled in Spanish Fork, Utah.
Glad to be a member of this group. I am also a descendant to John Needham Cox, Sr. I was named for his son, John Needham Cox, Jr. I have limited information on the Cox family in Southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina. I also have y-DNA information (67 STR markers and some SNP markers) that has been verified by two fifth cousins who were also tested. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to share what both what I know and what I think I know.
A group of us are looking for any descendants of Littleberry Cox & Mascilda Reddy. Littleberry was born in 1774 in Campbell County, VA and married in 1796 to Mascilda. Littleberry and Mascilda both died in Green County, KY. They have 6 children who made Kentucky their home.
We are looking for people to do a DNA test so we can prove some relationships. We have a lot of research to share and a few theories on Littleberry's ancestors.
So glad to find other Cox detectives. I am interested in William "Billie" Thomas Cox b. 1819 who married Sarah Ann Hammock b. 1824. They moved from Georgia to Chambers County Alabama around 1848/1849. I have much information on the family in Chambers but can not seem to make a connection to any line previous.
Family lore has it that 3 brothers came from New York to North Carolina then future lines on to Georgia and Alabama,
I will be happy to share any information I have and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking for information on Jane Cox born in Watertown, (Endland ?). She was married to John Masters also born in Watertown, (Endland ?). He died in 21 Dec 1639, Cambridge, Massachusetts. They had a daughter named Lydia Masters, who married Philip Taber, b. 01 Sep 1604,County of Essex, England, died 1696 in Tiverton, Rhode Island.
Good morning! I have John Cox and Margaret Morris as parents of Rebecca Cox (and others) in Lincoln County, NC. I believe they originated in NJ/PA. It interests me what Morrises Margaret came from. I'm almost certain she was not a child of Robert Morris (signer of DI).
I am looking for Isaac Cox who married Mary Wise. They moved from Greene Co, PA to WV (then VA) around the mid-1800's. I have been unable to ID his/her parents as there were several Isaac's. Anyone have any info on this Cox line?
Needing information on the Cox family on the 1850 Lee Co., VA census, show they were all born in North Carolina. Appears to be mother (at least the oldest) Nancy Cox, with sons Haywood, Solomon, Richard and Calloway. I have traced out these sons to Kansas and Missouri, losing track of one. Can find Nancy on the 1860 census in Kentucky, but lose her after that. Three of the sons married Gose women. Death record on one of the sons names the father as David with no mention of mother. Believe there may have been a sister named Adeline - this is what I'm trying to prove. I know these names are in common with some Cox/Osborne connects in Tennessee and also some common names with other NC Coxes, but can't find the direct connection. Haywood also goes by Henry; Calloway is often James C. Nancy was born about 1803. Records on this family have them born in NC, sometimes Virginia, sometimes Kentucky, varying from census to census as is common. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am working on one of my Cox lines (I have two) who were living in MO in the second half of the 1800's. John C Cox moved to AR probably around 1880+ with family. He died in Marion County, AR in 1895 and was later moved to Newton County, AR where he was permanently buried. William S Franklin Cox (who I assume to be his son since that's who moved his burial site) is my ggrandfather. I think John C Cox was related to William A Cox (possibly a brother) who was married to Mary Wiseman, as they were living on the same property in 1860 (Mercer County, MO). William A Cox also shows up in Estill County, KY in 1850. I can't find John prior to 1860. Supposedly John's dad was also born in KY and his mom in TN (John was born in 1835 in MO). Please let me know if any of these people are familiar.
Looking for info on Beverly, Gambrell and James Cox. Beverly and Gambrell where in Hardin co in 1810 then Beverly and James where in Hart co in 1820. Hart was created from Hardin snd Barren county. James "Hatter" Cox is my line. James had a son named Beverly. Trying to connect and go back further.
For any of you who have not heard of this book, it is worth checking out because it gives pretty detailed info about the history of different Cox lines originating in England, Sweden, Holland, Scotland and a few others. Also includes lots of genealogies which you may be able to find a connection to: The Cox Family in America https://archive.org/stream/coxfamilyinamer00coxgoog/coxfamilyinamer...
