My great aunt, Ava Cox, was born in 1895 Shannon county. I have checked all the counties surrounding and noticed many Cox families in Dent county. I am a descendant of Crabtree and Welch lines from Dent on my mother's side but the Cox and Foyster/Foster are my Dad's. My grandfather's name was William Newton Cox who was born in Hannibal, Mo. to Charley A. and Sarah L. Foyster/Foster. Charley was born in 1859 Mo. and Sarah was born in 1867 Mo. Someone told me Charley may be the son of Alfred Cox. Only hearsay. I appreciate anyone's help with the Cox or Foysters in this area. Thank you very much.
