William Cox with Gun and Dog
This photo of William Lincoln Cox with his gun and dog is badly faded. Jesse Kesterson remembered the photo from Jesse's youth and knew that the gun and dog were in the photo. After working with it some, they are more visible, but barely. Judy Solis

Notes - Someone in the Cox side of the family, believed to be William Lincoln's mother's parents or grandparents, lived in Bear Creek Valley where the woman and the baby in her womb were killed by a bear. Per Mary, the woman was sitting at a spinning wheel with her back to the door and her husband and obviously some other children were away. The bear came inside the cabin and killed her and ripped the baby from her belly.
She was reportedly a Cherokee Indian, he was -------- Farmer.
William Lincoln Cox married Jane S. or Jane Elizabeth Foster Hudson. She had children by her first marriage.
In the 1880 census William Lincoln Cox and his siblings were all living at home in the 15th district of Roane County. Their father Martin (incorrectly identified as Marlon in Ancestry.com) was identified as a farmer while occupations of his offspring, ages 18 and under, were not listed.
Next door to them was Mary Cox, age 70, her daughter Catherine, age 26, Catherine's daughter and son, Anna E, 9, and Charley, 2. Catherine's surname is given as Cox as is her children's, but she is identified as a daughter to Mary Cox. There is no identity of a father for Catherine's children in the census record.
