You said you were trying to do some research of the early settlers. I am trying to find some information about this family. According to the book, "History of Jack County Texas", F203. Nathan S., Joseph S. ,Levi Cox left Daviess County MO.in November of 1876, for Texas. And settled in what was later Gibtown Nathan and Joseph, and Lucinda were children of Thomas Cox, who died in 1843. Thomas was the son of Nathan Cox, who died 1854. NOW, LEVI COX b. Feb 12, 1838 was my Grgrgrrandfather. I need somebody, ANYBODY to please help me find what relation he was to these two men he was traveling with. I later found a document in the Jack County probate where Levi swore an oath that he was a brother to Samuel W. 'Sammy" Cox, but wanted nothing from the estate of Sammy or Mary Cox, his wife. If this be the case, who were the parents of Samuel, and Levi? I found the gravestones of S.W.Cox, and Mary Cox, wife of S.W. What happened to Levi? He was living with James R. Cox and his wife Liza in 1910. And I have a snapshot of Levi, taken in 1924, in front of my Grandmother's house in Jacksboro. After that he dissappears. I cannot find where he died, or where he is buried. Can someone Please help me? Wanda Haines in Oklahoma
