I'm posting a note about one of my brick walls: Sarah "Sally" MAHAN wife of
Jonathon COX
Looking for any information to document the parents and siblings of Sarah
"Sallie/Sally" MAHAN. I would also like to obtain an obituary, bible record, or
death notice for her date of death.
Sarah "Sally" Mahan was born c1819 in KY (according to later census records) and
married Jonathon COX (son of William COX and Nancy Ann RUDDICK).
Several researchers have said that Sarah Mahan's parents were Thomas MAHAN and Anna
COX of Knox county KY. I have not been able to verify this information. In fact,
descendants of that Thomas say while he did have a daughter named Sarah, she married
someone else and relocated to another part of the country.
The Sally Mahan I want have left little in the way of a paper trail.
Sarah MAHAN married Jonathon COX 28 Jan 1834 in Jackson county, Indiana.
Jonathon COX was born 1 Jan 1810, in Tennessee, and his birth was listed in the minutes of
the Lost Creek Quaker Monthly Meeting of eastern Tennessee.
Their children include:
Lorinda COX born 1836
Phillip COX born 1840 married Emma LETT
Martha E COX born c1840
William Franklin COX born 1844 married Mary HARBOLT,Jessie LETT
John COX born 1848
Mary COX born 1850
Moses COX born 1852 married Elizabeth HAWN
Noah COX born 1855 married Angeline ABBOTT, Elizabeth DUNN
Jonathon COX died about 1857 near New Farmington, Indiana. Sallie and the children
continue to appear in the census records of Jackson and Washington counties for 1860 and
1870. I am not sure that I have found Sallie in 1880; two of her sons appear in the
Washington county Indiana census that year.
