I replied to the message about J.S. and Julia A. Cox but sent it to the sender instead of the list. J.S. Cox was John Seal Cox son of Caleb Jr. and Elizabeth Hicks Cox. He was married to Julia Ann Keziah Street, daughter of Anderson and Keziah Street. John first marred her sister and she died during or soon after the Civil War. John and Julia had a son John Alonzo born about 1877 and this must have been the son found on the census as John L. John married Trannie Combs in 1898. I seem to recall reading somewhere of a Lee Cox who lived in Ripley around the turn of the century. He was a railroad man I believe. The History of Tippah County mentions Lee Cox once in the index. It is in reference to the R. J. Thurmon house which was later owned by Lee Cox. Perhaps this is the J. W. Lee Cox you are looking for. Speaking of the History, the title is "History of Tippah County, Mississippi; The First Century." It was written by Andrew Brown and is copyrighted and published by the Tippah Co. Historical and Genealogy Society. There are about 150 copies of the book left and the cost is $20. I am told that once all the books are sold they will talk to me about allowing me to put the book online! Trouble is it isn't selling like hotcakes and at the current rate it will be many years before they are all sold. If you are interested in Tippah Co. history please consider buying one.
