Surnames: Aumann Cox Walker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kUB.2ACE/1750 Message Board Post: I've been going through old "mementos" and found two newspaper clippings regarding David Cox, son of Irvin N Cox and Connie Belle Aumann. (All of you seem to have listed Irvin as "Nathan Irvin Cox." Don't know what's correct...) Anyway, thought you might be interested in the following: Greensboro News & Record Monday, August 9, 1943: MISSING IN ACTION-Mrs. David Cox, of 108 North Mendenhall street, has received word that her husband, 2nd Lt. David Cox, is missing in action over the north coast of France since July 28. Lieutenant Cox entered service about two years ago and received his wings July 26, 1942, at Columbus, Miss. that same day he was married to Miss Hilda Walker. He has been stationed in England and has received the air medal and oak leaf cluster. He is a graduate of Greensboro high school and attende Guilford college and the University of North Carolina. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin N. Cox, 610 Simpson street. Greensboro News & Record Sunday, October 17, 1943: Mrs. D.C. Cox to Accept Distinguished Service Cross For Nazi-Held Husband...BTC Commander to make Award at Post Friday: Mrs. Davic C. Cox, 108 North Mendenhall street, attractive blonde wife of a flying lieutenant now a prisoner of the nazies, will accept the Distinguished Service Cross in his behalf at a retreat review Friday at BTC No. 10. The award will be made by Brig. Gen. Francis M. Brady, new commanding general of the air force training center. The general public of Greensboro is invited to attend the ceremonies. Shot Down July 28. Lieutenant Cox was shot down while returning from one of the huge, concentrated raids on Hamburg July 28. The plane caught on fire while winging back across occupied Belgium. Seven parachutists were seen to escape from the plane at the time. Lieutenant Cox was reported missing on August 5 and it was not until September 5 that his wife learned he was a German prisoner. The Greensbo! ro airman is now confined in a German prison camp near Berlin. Lieutenant Cox previously had two narrow escapes from death. he was co-pilot of the Flying Fortress "Carter and His Little Pills," piloted by Capt. Joe Carter of Lawton, Okla. This plane made a remarkable record of flights over Europe before being lost with all crew members. Lieutenant Cox happened to be grounded with a cold at the time of the last fatal flight. Saved When Ship Falls. He was also co-pilot of the fortress, "Pappy and His Hellions," lost over the English channel. Two engines were out and the plane was riddled with shell fire, but the pilot managed to nurse it to within sight of the coast of England. Only Lieutenant Cox and four other crew members were saved when they baled out and were carried to shore by the channel wind. Lieutenant Cox has already earned the Air Medal and three Oak Leaf clusters. The new honor was awarded by direction of the President and by the commanding general of t! he Eighth air force.The citation reads: "For extraordinary achievemen t while serving as co-pilot for a B-17 airplane on 20 bombardment missions over enemy occupied continental Europe Displaying great courage and skill, Lieutenant Cox has materially aided in the success of each of the 20 missions, and his actions are an inspiring example for his fellow fliers. The courage, coolness and skill displayed by Lieutenant Cox on all these occasions reflect the highest credit upon himself and the armed forces of the United States. Attended Guilford College. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin N. Cox, 610 Simpson street, Lieutenant Cox attended Guilford college and the University of North Carolina. He was employed by the Pilot Life Insurance company and did defense work in Rhode Island before he entered the army in September, 1941. He trained at Keesler Field, Miss., Maxwell Field, Ala. Helena Aerobus, Miss., Salt Lake City, Utah before he went to England October 14, 1942. Mrs. Cox, the former Miss Hilda Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Walker, h! ad known the young lieutenant since childhood. They were married July 26, 1942, the day he received his wings. Both are 25 years old. Keeps Scrapbook. The attractive young wife keeps a scrapbook of all her husband's clippings and has a Red Cross map showing exactly where his prison camp is located. She works regularly at the Greensboro Red Cross and the USO. Even during the month that her husband was reported msissing, Mrs. Cox never lost faith. "He escaped twice before," she said "and I knew he would this time." She writes to her husband every day and has a sure faith he will be able to return to her after the war is over.

I am looking for the Wren/Wrenn families of Randolph county NC. I ran into a brick wall with the name of my GGrandfather Thomas Jefferson Wrenn b24 December 1832. I have also seen his birth years as 1836 and 1838 but all of them agree that he died 11 November 1905. His wife's name was Mary F. Ryder b.26 September 1833. Those are the only dates I have for her. Thomas was born in Guilford County, NC, He spent most of his adult life in Randolph county, NC. Some records show Mary F Ryder as being born in Orange County, NC. The information I want is the name of Thomas Jefferson Wrenn's parents and , if possible, his siblings. Is there someone in Randolph county NC that has the information that will help me. If so, please share the information with me. In the Family Bible, the surname is spelled both Wren and Wrenn. Dee --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

I believe he married my Ggrandmother's baby sister Decia L Ward, of William S Ward and Sally Moon. They had a total of 9 children, 8 of whom lived to adulthood. Addison and Decia were still alive in 1930 in Randolph County. Their children were Hattie, Maud L, Bessie V, Chester R, Spurgeon E, Alma T, Ornice, and Dwight.Hattie is believed to have married John B Humble. Any info on this family would be appreciated. We have been looking for Decia for many years and just found her. In 1880, Addison and Decia live in Randolph with their first child Hattie and "Louvina Hix", called "mother", although she is Decie's stepmother and of no relation to Addison that I know of. In 1900, Lavinia Hicks is again a widow (her 4th time!), now called "Louvina Brown", and living next door to Addison and Decie. In Addison's home this time is Arminta Rains, called "mother". Interesting note: in 1900, Lavinia Kivett Craven Ward hicks brown tells the enumerator that she has "1 child, living". She never had a child, but I'm sure she considered Decie as her own.

In the interest of clearing this up once and for all, it would be in our genealogical best interest to test at least one or more additional living male direct descendants of Hampton's. I can refer such candidate(s) to the lab doing the DNA work if requested.
