Notes - !NOTES:Marty Grant's 7th Great Grand Parent.;
!NOTE:Buried in woods (Cox-Sullivan Cemetery) off of Hwy 27 near Catholic Church;
!NOTES:It's been claimed that Margaret Morris was the sister of Robert Morris, of Revolutionary War financier fame. I don't know if this is true. He was two years younger than she, so that fits, but what evidence is there to link them together at all? He never lived in Monmouth as far as I'm aware;
!MARRIAGE:29 Oct 1769 Monmouth Co., NJ
John Cox Minor, Monmouth and Margaret Morris, Monmouth
* Minor could mean under 21 or the younger of two adults of the same name.
* 1769 has to be wrong since their oldest child, Morris Cox, was born in 1751,
Unless, Margaret was his second wife and his first wife was also a Morris, hence
the son's name. For the time being I'm not using this marriage date as it is suspect;
