AARON COX (? to 1807) Genealogy Information generously provided by Judy Bennett ( judykben@cox.net )
I descend from Charles Cox's son Aaron and wife Mary (?), his son Eli and Sarah Brown, his son Asa and Nancy Harris (they died in Hardeman County TN). Their daughter, Mittie was my great great grandmother.
I am attaching a report from my genealogy software to give you my line. It is not complete as I am having trouble putting in some of the dates. However, please note some of the land transactions on Eli.
I will get started on the other land transactions - almost 200 of them - as soon as possible.
Enjoyed looking at your web page.
We have been to Raleigh to the library to work on genealogy (I am working on many lines) and hope to come through there midsummer after a visit to D.C.
The credit for the information on my line goes to Fae Owens of Bolivar TN. She is a descendant of the Cox line.
