Hi, Jane : Thank you, I can always count on you even to the Hobo spiders. I've been going over old letters and we have been writing each other over 10 years and as always I will do as you say. There was a Mary Cox living with James W. Key & Matilda Early Key. In the 1850 census of Anderson Co., It's the first time I've run across that name. Last night in reading old things I see where there was a Rev. E.L. Cox conducting the funeral Of John Amsterdam Prorise, of Dutch Valley ( who is the brother of my great grand'father) & the Honorary pall bearer was Dr.J. M. Cox. this Mary Cox in the census is said to be mother inlaw.That to me means Matelda Early might be a Cox or her mother remarried a Cox. 40 years I've been researching the Key family and I'm still hitting brick walls. The more I learn the less I know. Can anyone out there help me. Thanks, Phyllis
