GENERAL JAMES COX, son of Joseph (43), or John (23), was born 10-16-1743, and died 9-12-1810. Ho married Ann whose last name has not been ascertained. He served in the Revolution. At a later period he removed to Kentucky, from which State he was a Representative in Congress. His children are said to have been: James (94), born 1-26-1782; William (95), born in 1776 and died 7-28-1803; Lewis (96), born in 1769 and died 6-24-1774: Aaron (97), born 5-4-1771 and died 4-4-18-4 (sic). There were three other children, but their names do not appear.
One of the above sons was the father of Samuel S. (Sunset) Cox, so long famous in Congress, and throughout the country. There is a statue of him in Astor Place, New York City. He was present at the laying of the corner-stone of the Monmouth Battle-Monument at. Freehold, where he was seen by this writer (then a small boy), whose mother was, a few years later, a fellow-passenger with Representative Cox on a European trip. The impression he made was very- favorable. He was the author of several books.
