Married by Jos. A. McMurry, Justice of Peace of Burleson County. From the book, "History of Texas, Together with a Biographical History of Milam, Williamson, Bastrop, Travis, Lee & Burleson Counties" the D.O. Cox biographical sketch on pages, 524, 525, 526: mentions William Cox. It states he was a native of Alabama and met and married Cordelia Watson, daughter of William Watson, who had settled in the area about 1840. William Cox died in 1860, leaving his widow and six children, one of which was David O. Cox, which the sketch is about. It also states Cordelia, who was the daughter of William and Rebecca Clark Watson was a native of Georgia and was born about 1832. She was the eldest of 12 children and came to Texas with her parents when she was on the verge of womanhood. She died in Burleson Co. in 1863. If you would like, I will check on the probate records, etc. for Cordelia at the courthouse, the next time I am there.
