JOHN COX (23), son of James (5), was born in 1700, and died, 5-14-1778. His wife's given-name was Mary. She died 2-15-1798. The following children have been assigned to them (but there is some confusion here): Joshua (64), born 4-24-1747, died 11-26-1759; General James (87), born 10-17-1748, died 4-19-1805, grandfather of Samuel S, (sunset) Cox; and William (66), born 5-12-1749, died 2-15-1828, who married Elizabeth ____ born 7-8-1756, died 7-5-1811. The closeness of the birth-dates assigned to James and William here will be noticed. Another record gives General James Cox as being the son of Joseph (43), son of John (17), in which place he will be again considered.
