Cox Lineage
I also thought it might be nice to have one place to share our various Cox lines so we can see where we might connect with others.
My line starts with William Cox b: btwn 1750-1763, d:1832 in Elbridge, NY-he was a revolutionary war patriot. Married Mary Hoff (1768-1843)
|
William Cox Jr (1801-1893) m: Martha "Patty" Johnson (1804-1888) this family as the rest following all lived in Parma or Hilton, NY
|
Benjamin Cox (1822-1887) m: Rachel Wheeler (1827-1909)
|
Edward Allen "Ted" Cox (1856-1917) m: Martha Elizabeth Whittier (1860-1932)
|
Ward William Cox (1882-1951) m: Grace Alice Hawes (1883-1962)
|
Leith Lucille Cox (1912-2004) m: Dennison Warren Wright (1912-1993) These were my grandparents.
I also have information on many of the sibling/collateral lines if any of these are familiar to anyone.

I am from (supposedly) John Cox/Margaret Morris (Piscataway, NJ to Lincoln County, NC); Rebecca Cox/Absalom Bonham from NJ to PA to Lincoln County, NC. I'd like to get a bead on Margaret Morris's parents. I'm not convinced her brother/father was Robert Morris (the DI signer). :-) It's complicated. I've had my DNA done.
Sincerely, and glad to be aboard...

I am back to doing genealogy research after having to take a break of several years because I just didn't have time to spend on it. I'm starting with my Cox line and have come upon an interesting book online called The Cox Family in America that gives a lot of history on the several Coxes that came to America from England, Sweden, Holland, Scotland to name some. And even includes early genealogies for many of them. From what I understand Coxes from these different lines spread far and wide across America. Since certain names were so common in different lines (like Isaac, Thomas, Wm), I still haven't connected my Isaac to which one he may have descended from. What I do know is that his folks migrated from Greene Co, PA over to the area of Tyler Co., WV by 1850 when he shows up on the census there. From what I have gathered he was born about 1795 in PA and married Mary Wise, probably also from PA and probably married they were married in PA but I haven't found a marriage certificate.
What I have come to seriously question is that my Isaac was the son of Michael and Jeruthea (Brooks) Cox in Ohio Co, VA(WV). I see a number of folks have put them on their trees as being his parents, but the more I dig the more I doubt this. They did have a son named Isaac, BUT his place of death is different than my Isaac, who I know to have died in Pleasants Co, WV. Which is in keeping with him living in Tyler Co, WV in 1850 and I believe Pleasants Co was created from parts of other counties, including Tyler. Having grown up in Pleasants Co and living in the same area where my grand and great-grandparents had lived for years I know which is my Isaac in WV.
