MD Calendar of Wills has wills for Richard COX, proved 7 Sept. 1647, and Wm. COX, will pr. 14 Oct. 1649. Robert BARNES' Maryland Marriages lists five COX males married in Maryland before 1725. Can you fill in any details about Zachariah COX, b. 1789? What is your reference for year and place of Zacheriah's birth? Do you know the names of his parents? --a specific place in North Carolina where he lived? --when and where he married, the names of his wife and children? --when and where he died? The free Ancestry census database has Zacheriah, Zacharias, & Zacheryah COX of Rowan Co., NC (years not shown). Other names were Israel, John, Moses, Smith, Solomon, & Thomas. Do those names show up in your line? The 1776 Census of Maryland (incomplete) has in St. John & Prince George Parishes, Prince George County, Abraham COX, 25; Mary, 24; Jesse, 5 {sic}; & Zachariah, 2. Prince George's County Indexes of Church Registers, King George's Parish: Abraham COX & Mary had Jesse, b. 21 Feb. 1773 {sic}, & Zachariah, b. 26 Sep. 1774. --This isn't my family, but my early MERRYMAN line connects to some Coxes.
