Hi, russ sent me old Cox listings from 93. Thanks! I'm trying to researching the land Thomas refers to in his will.......... "400 acres near Cooper's Creek, Gloucester County" . He also mentions "Upton" a late 17th and early 18th century village in old Gloucester County. He refers to his "cousin Richard Cooper". I searched the "Colonial Transactions in NJ" to no avail. No Thomas purchasing land here. I also scanned the microfilm of the "West Jersey Proprietors" without success so far. They're tough to read (warrants, deed transactions and surveys). How and When did Thomas Cox acquire this Land?? How is he related to Richard Cooper?? What did son John do with the property?? Den49co@aol.com Dennis E. Cox Southern NJ
