I worked from a photocopy provided by Winston Moss. I also posted the Cooley/Motto cemetery data at<http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/localities.northam.usa.states.iowa.counties.appanoose/2093>. I had permission from the Appanoose Genealogical Society to post their Cooley Cemetery material to which I added some detail. (Note my follow-up note about an error that I made.) >From the Appanoose County Courthouse in Centerville, Iowa, I have a copy of Elias Fox's marriage license for his second marriage. It is legal size and I could send you copy via snail mail if you e-mail me your address. My e-mail address is [email protected] Or you could ask the courthouse to mail you a copy of their records of the marriage of Elias Fox to Rebecca Brumfield on December 25, 1869. (Be aware that both parties to this marriage were not truthful about their ages and that parts of the documents are left artfully blank.) About my relationship to Elias Fox... Elias Fox and Elizabeth Moss were parents to Celia Fox who married Albert Russell. Celia and Albert were parents to Bert Russell who was my grandfather. Unfortunately I have no in-family knowledge beyond the fact that Bert's father was named Albert; I have gleaned what I know of the Fox family from research in the last few years. Sincerely, J.
