If you're still out there, I wonder if you might have any additional information on the following, esp. as concerns George Cox and Luann (Louann) F. Bowden, and their families? Thanks for your help!: I believe that George Cox is the ancestor of my great grandfather, James Newton Cox, whom I know was b. TN (but have never found out exactly where), 28 Nov 1851. James N. later married Louisa Mildred Thomason, b. AR, and they moved to TX (where my grandfather and father, and I, were born). I note from information posted by an "Unknown" contributor on Ancestry.com that George married Luann F. Bowden in Henry Co., TN, on 21 Oct 1847 (so George would have been abt 15 or 16 when he married). George, acc. to this anonymous poster, appears to be the youngest child of a "Phebe," b. 1787* in SC; d. 21 Feb 1864 in Cottage Grove, Henry, TN. Would you have any additional data on "Phebe," or her collaterals or descendants? James Newton Cox's D.C. (d. 01 May 1929, Wilson Co., TX) shows his father as: "George Cox," b. "Tenn." (informant on the D.C. was my great uncle, Berry A. Cox, James' eldest child), so I have good reason to believe that this George Cox, of Henry County, may well be my gr gr grandfather. Any other information on the Bowden families of Henry Co., also appreciated! *I note your dob for Phebe (or Phoebe) is 1797. Steve Cox Knoxville, TN sjcmsc@knology.net
