Nancy, this is most likely a typo of Cow Pox, which is a mild relative of Smallpox. If you were innoculated with Cowpox, you were unlikely to contract Smallpox later. I think the vaccine is still made from Cowpox today. -------Original Message------- From: Grannynancy38@aol.com Sent: 08/27/03 11:18 AM To: OHHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHHARRIS] cox pox > > Why was there A pox called cox.I had family in that area and am interested in learning about them.Looking for parents of William Cox ,death ofWilliam and son Elisha.Any help will be greatly appriciated.
