Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ih.2ADE/62.1 Message Board Post: I was certainly hoping that someone would have responded to your query with information. I am searching for the parentage of John D. Cox, who married Lydia Chastain in Jacksonville, Morgan County in February 1830. Wouldn't you know that there were two John Cox's in that county. I found a land patent in which John and Abel Cox, Sr. both purchased. It looks like that one is yours. It's on the BLM Patent website if you would like to see it.
