There on ARIZARD-D Digest VO3 ISSUE# 284 is a great deal of information including perhaps the correct name of Sis Cox as well as her parents info. I know it exists but I have not read it. She had one child Ada Cox born in 1879 and then she was dead by the 1880 census and that is all I know about her. Ada married George Findley 23 June 1895, when she was 16 years old. I seem to recall Uncle Jim Cox married Any Talburt in May but I can't recall what year. It is probably in the Mountain Home records. I believe she remarried after he died and it would be helpful to me if you could confirm that. I have a letter from an Amy but have been unable to prove it is indeed her. Also one of her sons, I believe, was later adopted by one of her husbands brothers. That indicated that perhaps something happened to her or her later husband or both. The adopted child's name was Grover Cleveland Cox, he was about 14. This adoption was in Oklahoma. Her Talburt family was from the north central Arkansas area, probably. The Children that I can recall names for were Lee Cox, Etta Cox and Lector, or Lecter Cox. There were 5 or 6 children,I believe. I have not done a lot on this family. I have a few photo's of the children as adults and at least one or possibly a couple of letters from the Amy person. Uncle Jim Cox was one of several Cox men who came to Arkansas, from South Carolina as young men, or teenagers really, with their mother and father. They then had families themselves in either Arkansas or Oklahoma. All of the undated Cox family in the cemetery you mentioned are my family and the Findley infant buried there is most likely Ada's child she buried with her mother. If you find the Amy was from your line I will look up her letters and see if she mentions any person you might be interested in. My family retained a good many letters from family and I have some, although not on the Cox line, going back to 1861. The earliest Cox letter is 1888 if I recall correctly. Thanks for writing, and perhaps we can add a bit more to this family. I think Lee Cox may have become a minister for a while, if not forever. No idea about the girls. I know about Cleve Cox from his adopted father.
