My grandfather was a 1st cousin of Elizabeth
Cox. That would make me a cousin 2 times removed. I have been tracing descendants of Thomas
Cox and Rebecca
Webb for a few years and am just getting around to filling in some of the other branches of the family which includes Martin
Walt, Jr's family.
The descendants of Martin
Walt Jr and Elizabeth
Cox would be my cousins.
I have fairly detailed information on most of the Coxes in my family tree but would like to know if there is any information on Elizabeth Cox's father, Thomas
Washington Cox and his wife, Martha
Isabelle Johnson. Is there a record of his death and where is he buried? I would love to see the photo of Elizabeth.
