Hi! Thanks so much for your response! My James R. Brown was born in 1819 in TN and died in 1897 in Morgan County, TN. His children were William Taylor Brown, born in 1848, Emelia Ann (b.1850), Minerva C. (b. 1854), John R. (born in 1857). James R. Brown's wife was supposedly full blood Cherokee, named Louisa J. C. Brown. I have looked on Brown clearinghouse and left messages, but so far no luck!!! Any matched to your data??? James R. Brown's parents were both born in Virginia, according to one census record. Thanks for taking the time to answer! Sincerely, Becky McEntire

Thank you so much for this info.It does give me another set of Coxes to chase,but the more the merrier.LOL Looking forward to hearing more. Cathy

Cathy: I have a record of a Martin Cox m. to Sarah Cox in the Roane Co. area. Martin was born 1799 in NC and Sara was born in 1816. Could these two be your Cox's?
