I got the following out of a book on Alabama Veterans of the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Indian Wars. There is also some assorted records that contain references to John Cox in Franklin Co., GA. I might have already posted some of this info to the list. COX, JOHN (Revolutionary War) CLARKE CO. R 2405 - Clarke Co., Ala. Nov. 1832, John Cox, age 68, makes declaration, that he entered service in Virginia militia 1780 under Capt. Wm. Gatewood, and shortly afterwards he was taken into a granideer company commanded by Col. Mercer, under Gen. Weiden? He entered service in Essex Co., Va. drafted to serve 2 months in Va. militia. That he marched thru King and Queen Co. and into Middlesex Co. from there to Gloucester Co. and he served at least 2 months. He was born in Essex Co., Va. in 1764. After the war he moved to Pendleton Co. SC where he lived for nearly 18 years, then to Franklin Co., GA, from there to Miss. Territory now the State of Alabama, Clarke Co. and where he now lives. Malcomb Calhoun, clgy. and Matthew Cox testify for character. Oct. 25, 1852 - George Cox age 36 states he is heir of John Cox, who died Sept. 25, 1842 and his mother named Nancy died Oct. 9, 1848 and they were married Nov. 6, 1786 in Essex Co., Va. and where they resided 25 years. Rejected. John Cox listed in the Report of the Secretary of War of 1852 as living at Clarksville, Clarke Co. as one whose application for a pension as a soldier of the Revolution had been rejected for the reason that the service had been of less than six months duration. Census of 1830 - Clarke Co., Ala. p. 7 COX, John 1 male 10-15; 1 male 20-30; 1 male 60-70; 1 female 10-15; 1 female 30-40; 1 female 50-60. Census of 1840 - Clarke Co., Ala. p. 8 COX, John 1 male 70-80; 1 female -5; 1 female 50-60; 1 female 60-70 Documents including references to John Cox in Franklin Co., Georgia DEED dated 28 Oct. 1811, rec. 27 Oct. 1812, from JOHN COX (x) and wife NANCY (x) of Franklin Co. on both sides of Middle Fork Broad Riv, adj. Vaughan and Bond, being part of; and granted to Stephen Casey 26 Feb. 1785, and conveyed by him to James Freeman, and by Freeman to George Vaughan, and by him to said Cox. Wit: Henry Davis, Hezekiah Stephens, Joseph Hamilton, J.P. DEED dated 3 Sept. 1806, rec. 22 May 1807, from WADDY THOMPSON of Franklin Co. to HENRY DIXON of same. In cons. of $100, conveys 85 ac. In Franklin Co. on a branch of Middle Fork Broad Riv., known by name of Thompsons place, surveyed for said Thompson by Mal. Jones, County surveyor, "beginning on HawkinsÂ’ line between the Creek Indians and State of Georgia", also adj. A tract of land on the river sold to George Vaughan and John Cox by James Freeman. Wit: Benjamin Wafford, Jno. Cox (x). Sworn to by John Cox before Thomas Hollingsworth, J.P. 13 Sept. 1806. The General Index lists for page 92: DAVID MCCRACKEN to JOHN COX. The only portion of this deed remaining is the proving of the deed as follows: Sworn to by John Whitworth before Thomas Hollingsworth, J.P. 23 Dec. 1806, that he (Whitworth) and Henry Dixon were present when David McCracking signed the deed to John Cox. Recorded 21 June 1807. Extra Info George Vaughan is the father of Mary Vaughan (married Thomas Cox) and Nancy Vaughan (married Mathew Cox). Thomas and Mathew are almost for sure brothers of John Cox. Another very likely brother is Reuben Cox from Anderson Co., SC. He was born in 1770 in Essex Co., VA and died in 1835 in Anderson Co., SC. Since the name Reuben is a name that is very common in the family of John Cox and his descendants, I think that there is a very good possibility that they are brothers. Another possible brother is Aris Cox of Franklin Co., GA. I don't have much info on Aris. It is a fairly unusual name. James Cox, the son of John Cox, had a son named Aras. Another thing is that in the will of William Cox, d. 1754 Essex Co., VA, lists a grandson named Ayress Cox. I have no idea if they are related, but I'm always looking for little tidbits of info that might bring everything together. If anyone has any ideas or anything I'd like to discuss it.
