My COX family reference is from ³The Ruddick Family in America² by John W.
Hanneman (can find a copy via Inter Library Loan); it has biographical
sketched os many pioneer families of Jackson Co. IN.
The William and Solomon Cox families were around Seymour, Jackson Co. by
1814, having arrived in Paoli, Indiana Territoy by 1811. They were Quakers
so if your Cox family were among them there may be good records in the
Quaker Monthly Meeting records. The Cox lady married into my family and was
³disowned² because of it. I have not researched the Cox line but have just
brief notes on same. My family (not COXs) moved on to California in the
1850s.

Subject: Nathan and Andrew Cox of early Jackson Co., IN
I just learned that my Jesse Cox ancestor (who lived around Tampico,
Jackson Co., IN; died in 1893; and is buried in Waskom Cemetery outside
of Tampico) had other Jackson County Cox relatives who apparently were
early settlers of Jackson County, perhaps around 1816 or 1817. The two
Cox names I now have are Nathan Cox and Andrew Cox. I'm not quite sure
how these two gentlemen tie in with Jesse Cox (uncle or grand uncle
perhaps?), but I'd sure like to know if anyone is researching or has
knowledge of Nathan and Andrew.
A local elderly Jackson County Cox historian recently told me that
Nathan and Andrew Cox were among the first settlers in Jackson County,
and might possibly be buried in the Grassy Fork Twp. Mt. Pleasant
Cemetery, or perhaps in the Chestnut Ridge Cemetery, which is north of
Dudleytown.
Any information on these two gentlemen would be most appreciated.
