I'm not actually related to Mike COX, but if we are talking about the same man, and I think we are, then I have a "by-marriage" connection. Unfortunately, I don't have any more information than you do on Mike himself, but I wanted to touch base with you. Here's the inforrmation I have: Mike COX, b. 1796 in Ireland; died 1910. I have a note that he was one of the earliest settlers in Tippah County and he lived in Orizaba, Tippah Co, MS. Mike Cox came to Orizaba upon moving from Franklin Co, GA in 1839. Here is an early MS census record which I think is his family. Can you tell me if it is? [Somehow I didn't get the year of the census in my databse, but I think it was a 1939 state census.] 1 844 844 Cox, Michael, 43, M, Farmer, 1,500, Ga 2 844 844 Cox, Mary, 38, F, Ga 3 844 844 Cox, Elijah A., 16, M, Ga X 4 844 844 Cox, Loissa, 14, F, Ga X 5 844 844 Cox, Jane, 12, F, Ga X 6 844 844 Cox, James M., 8, M, Miss X 7 844 844 Cox, Michael, 6, M, Miss 8 844 844 Cox, Robert Y., 4, M, Miss 9 844 844 Cox, William J., 2, M, Miss [This may not be this COX family, but if not, I feel that they're related.] I also have in my database that Joyce Mae COX (1835-1930) married William Tandy YOUNG (1820-1911) and they had A. Michael (1864), James M., Charles Whit, Bruce, Belle, and Frank YOUNG. A. Michael YOUNG married Blanche SMITH, daughter of James Milton SMITH and Harriett Adelaide TICER who were my great, great grandparents. I show these siblings for Joyce Mae COX: Jim (James) M.; Lige; Elisha A.; M.W. (female); R.J. (female); and R. Young COX. Would appreciate any additions or corrections. I have not done work on this and all help is appreciated. Good luck in your own search! Thanks! Becky
