]]> Comment on My theory, for which it is… by dale http://www.coxusa.com/http:/example.com/category/post-name/comment-page-1/#comment-4719 dale Sat, 25 Oct 2008 02:36:12 +0000 http://coxusa.com/?p=45#comment-4719 John, I assume that one of the two 26-45 males in the Edward Cox household is Edward Cox's younger brother, William. The singly enumerated William Cox sounds interesting; I would have to take a closer look at the Orange County census. By 1820 the two Cox brothers had joined forces and were co-owners of a merchant mill at Raccoon Ford which spanned the Rapidan River but had its structures sitting on the Orange County side. Our William Cox did not marry until rather late in life and only after living in New Harmony, Indiana, for some time. I will be reviewing some information that we have tomorrow in order to refresh my feeble memory, but I think that the above is correct.

Cox Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:12:05 +0000 http://coxusa.com/?p=45#comment-4663 In the 1820 census for Orange County, VA there is the following: Edward Cox, 3 males under 10, 2 males 26-45, 1 female under 10, 1 female 26-45, and 2 females over 45; Warner Cox, 1 male under 10, 1 male 26-45, 3 females under 10, and 1 female 26-45; William D. Cox, 1 male 26-45, 2 females under 10, and 1 female 26-45 (probably Fanny White; m. on Feb. 16, 1813.); William Cox just 1 male 26-45; William Cox, 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male over 45, 1 female under 10, 2 females 10-16, and 1 female over 45 (This is probably “My” William because his age would be over 45 similar to Joab’s age.); and Joab Cox, 4 males under 10, 1 male over 45, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-16, 4 females 26-45, and 1 female over 45. Can you identify which William is "your" William?? I am trying by the process of elimination determine exactly which William is from my line. Any help will be greatly appreciated. John C. In the 1820 census for Orange County, VA there is the following:
Edward Cox, 3 males under 10, 2 males 26-45, 1 female under 10, 1 female 26-45, and 2 females over 45;

William Cox just 1 male 26-45;

My Grandfather's parents, Ora and Ellen Cox. Ora was b Oct 28 1875 d, june 10 1942 Ella, maiden name possibly Griffith, b jan 20, 1878, died march 1952. My grandfather was George, b. abt. 1904, d. June 29, 1967. They lived in the Lawerence Co. In. vicinity. I believe Ora was possibly a Reverand. Do you have any of these names? I can not attach them to any Coxes that I have found so far.
