William Cox was born on 15 September 1776 in Georgia, the son of John and Jemima Cox, but not the John Cox and Jemima Gilbert of Pasqoutank and Perquimans Monthly Meetings in North Carolina. The reason behind my insanity is this:
*
1. John died on 07 July 1760, per the Pasquotank MM records.
*
2. Jemima remarried in 1763, and was dismissed for marrying out of the society, Pasquotank MM records..
*
3. A David Cox, son of John and Jemima Cox, married Phoebe Thomas on 27 Sept 1809 in the Lower West Branch Meeting House. This information is from the Quaker Records of the Miami Valley of Ohio, by Davis Ireton, but I found one error, thbeing born on 16 Sept 1804 to Isaac and Mary Thomas in one spot, and on another page I found Phoebe's birth listed as 1783 (this under the infomation of Isaac Thomas' family, making more sense as the first would have made her only fi ve when married).
*
4. William was living next door to David in the 1820 Census records.
*
5. Are we looking at two brothers marrying two sisters? I believe we are.
William was a Quaker who belonged to many Monthly Meetings in several states. He married three times. He married first to Elizabeth Thomas on 29 November 1794 at the Bush River Monthly Meeting, Newberry County, South Carolina. Elizabetr 1773 in Bush River, Newberry County, South Carolina, the daughter of Isaac Thomas and Mary Davies/Davey. William and his family migrated westward to Ohio, when he received on certificate to go to Miami Monthly Meeting, Warren County, Oh io on 1806, March 29 (Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 1 - North Carolina, pg. 1028 - Bush River MM).
1807, April 09, William and his family received on certificate from Bush River MM, at Miami MM, Warren County, Ohio, dated 1806 March 29 (Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. IV, pg. 44). They later migrated to Randolph Co., se reason for their migration: According to W. W. Hinshaw, moved by the desire to live in a country where no slaves were held, Friends of Bush River began migration to Ohio. Between 1802 and 1807 more than one hundred certificates o f removal were issued, most of them being for families, this is quoted from the South Carolina Quaker Meeting Membership List, 1772-1820 website.
William and his family were listed in the 1820 Randolph, Montgomery County, Ohio Census records, pg. 123 next door to David Cox, possibly the 1830 West River Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana Census records (Census was very hard to read), the 1,lph County, Indiana Census records, pg. 31, and the 1850 West River Twp., Randolph County, Indiana Census records, pg. 181, household 1921. That census also states he was born in Georgia. Elizabeth died on 18 October 1849 in Randolph Co unty, Indiana. I found her however listed in the 1850 Indiana Mortality Schedule - Elizabeth Cox, 77 yrs, born SC, d: Typhoid Fever, October 1850.
