I would like to "share and compare" with anyone researching any Stokes County, NC, COX families. Joshua Cox and brother Richard Cox came into what is now Stokes County in the late 1700's and acquired land grants. They were brothers of David Cox and Captain John Cox of Grayson County, Va. Does anyone know anything about a John and Elizabeth Cox of Stokes County? Both were born in NC about 1800. Known children were Alison Cox and James Cox (who removed to Washington County), John Harden Cox b. Feb 1828, and Elizabeth Cox. The four sibblings were listed on a school list in 1844 as the children of John Cox. Does anyone know anything about John Cox, the son of Joshua Cox and Mary Neal? He was born about 1790.
