    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.

    Notes:

    Per Ruth Kesterson Lackey, Jane and Link fed their two babies something as medicine that probably poisioned them. Need more information.

    Stories from Mary Cox Kesterson, daughter of Elizabeth Foster Cox.
    Uncle Wash took his family to Missouri in a coverd wagon. They got out there and John Brown sent him with horse and sled to get wood to burn.The wood was on the creek bank. The sled turned over, and they found him on the ice. He'd been drinking, had frozen into the ice. He was Sarah's boy, John, apparently went with them.

    The snow would bank up 10 feet against the fence sometimes. John would run back and forth from the house to the barn so Jane could go to the barn to mind the cows in the barn. Janes's parents raised him.

    Mary Cox didn't remember many of her cousins though she tried.

    Uncle Lee's wife thought Mary was named after her and gave her a pretty piece of cloth one time with anchors on it. It was grey and red with white anchors.

    Earnest was Salty Foster's father

    Victor Foster was responsible for the family tree.

    Joshua, brother of Jane, went to college in Middle Tennessee.

    The clover threshers came and grandma said she wasn't gonna let them stay long. Jane told her "Jot may be begging (thumbing) his way through from Montana right now. You'd better let them stay." And she let them stay just because Mommy told her Jot might be on his way to come home.

    jane Elizabeth married George Hudson. They had a son, Sam. Mary said of her brother: "Lord how I loved my brother. He was the greatest person in the world." "I'd go meet him at the store and he'd set me up on the counter and say "now what do you want?"." "Sunbeam Candy",I'd say. It was an oblong piece of candy wrapped up in paper tha looked like the sun--real pale, soft candy, and center, it was the only candy I loved."

    Jane married (2) William Lincoln Cox. Sam's mother was married to a pruett at sometime or another. Daisy and Lizzie were Hudson's.Johnny and Fannie died before Mary was born.

    Sam, Jane's brother, took Jane to parties when they were young. These were like barn dances. They'd dance togehter.

    One of her brothers lived in East Fork valley and was bringing a bride in and there was a big snow on the ground. They were coming into Kingston and don't know, must have been coming on a boat. Momma and others went to meet them and her riding skirt was frozen plumb to her waist. They rode horses, whole wedding party, went to meet them. They got wet in the snow while riding. Could have been the one that married a Fox. Not sure.

    About Uncle Wash: When I was 14, I spent the night with Uncle Wash--he was sick. They lived in East Fork Valley. Deal Bailey--Ruth and Granny went to see her in Oliver Springs and Ruth sneaked meat off her stove. If she knew Ruth had of been hungry, she'd given her something to eat off the table. There was a side ofbacon stacked up on a plate on the kitchen stove.

    I can just see Uncle Lee (levi?) sitting in the holler when Paul was 3 or 4 (1924-1925)..He had a mustasche. We rode a buggy up there with a chestnut horse.

    Bob's wife is one I was on the horse with and I fell off backwards, off the horse's end into the ground. I was 15. Was the last horse I ever rode. They hadn't been married long. It was when Uncle Wash was sick, he died after that.

    Uncle Jot (Joshua B) went to college, possibly was a professor.

    Cousin Lee moved to Andersonville.

    Uncle Enoch worked in Branch at Coal Creek. Lost his mind. The bank went broke and he lost his mind.

    Jane Foster Cox died in 1925

    source for this child is 1870 US census. E.J. was not listed in 1860 census and may have been living elsewhere. At one time some of the Fosters went to Missouri to visit relatives or with the intent of living there. A male relative got drunk and fell off his horse in the creek and drowned, per Mary Cox Kesterson, daughter of Elizabeth Jane Foster Hudson Cox.

    Cotula, Campbell County, was originally called Gatliff in honor of Dr. A. Gatliff, a physician of the locality. The name was changed to Cotula in 1908, when the railroad was built through the section. It is located near the central part of the county.

    Jane and husband William Lincoln (Link) Cox and Mary were living in Cotula in 1910 when the census was taken. The census in 1910 still listed the area as Gatliff even if the name had been changed a few years earlier. Judy Spradlin. Census to support this is attached to William Lincoln Cox.

    Died:
    Believed to be buried in the White Oak cemetery, in an unmarked grave In February 2007, Jesse Kesterson, a grandson, and Judy Solis, daughter of Jesse and June Kesterson, searched for Elizabeth Foster Hudson Cox's grave. Her daughter, Mary Cox Kesterson, was unable to attend her funeral and burial because she had just given burth to a baby girl (Dorothy). Mary told Jesse where her mother was buried. No marked grave has been found. 08-2009

    From the research of Norma Lawless Yost:
    Samuel Cox was involved in numerous land transactions in Roane County. In 1841, he sold 75 acres on Chestnut Ridge near Bear Creek to Jesse Copeland. Samuel and Polly received 60 acres on Bear Creek in 1846 as the share of Rial Copeland from Ambrose Copeland and children. In the same year, they received 40 acres from Jesse Copeland.
    On 6 Mar 1862, Samuel (with his son, James) was enlisted into the Union Army by Col. James T Shelley at Flat Lick, Kentucky as a private to serve three years as a cook. Ten days earlier his sons, Martin and Richard had enlisted in the same comppany. Samuel gave a fictious birth date, stating that he was born in 1811, which would have made him about fifty years old- he probably would not have been accepted if it had known that he was fifty-six or fifty-seven. Samuel's brigade occupieied Cumberland Gap, Kentucky 18 June 1862. On September 17th when they began a march back into Ohio, he was unable to make the march because of health. Col. Shelley gave him permission to either go home or stay where he was until he was able tto rejoin the regiment. He went home and was later charged with desertion on the date of the evacuation from Cumberland Gap. While in Roane County, he was captured by the Confederates, 2 Mar 1863. On 14 Mar 1863, he was imprisoned at Richmondd, Virginia and the 18th was released at City Point, Virginia in an exchange for Confederate prisoners held by the Union. Samuel then reported for duty on March 21st at Camp Pawle, Maryland. He was sent from there to Camp Chase, Ohio on the 6tth of April and on June 2nd was sent to the Army of the Cumberland to rejoin his company. There the charge of desertion was removed and he was tried by a General Court Martial for absence without leave, was convicted and sentenced to forfeit one month's pay and allowances. On 31 July 1863, the company was at Carthage, Tennessee where Samuel appeared to be swollen with fat, and his skin area was dark, kind of a swarthy complexion. He seemed bloated and complained of being short winded. Over a year later, on 11 Aug 1864, the company was at Marietta, Georgia. Samuel's stomach was swollen and he had pain in his stomach and breast. He continued to complain with these symptoms and when the company was in Altoona, Georgia he waas still bothered with these pains. The company arrived at Nashville, Tennessee on November 15, 1864 and on December 15th, he was admitted from the fields to number 13 general hospital for treatment of chronic rheumatism. On 24 Jan 1865, he was transferred to number 14 general hospital as a convalescent and was discharged from the Army there 26 Mar 1865 because of the expiration of term of service. He received a certificate of disability because of anemia. After discharge, Samuel returned to Roane County where he "continued to complain mightily of pain. His stomach would stick out in a great pone."
    In 1870, Samuel gave a deed of love for 150 acres on Chestnut Ridge to the heirs of his son, Martin. Martin was to take possession of the land and to maintain Samuel and Polly decently during their natural life and to give them a decent buriaal at their deaths. Samuel died 4 June 1870 in Roane County from hypertrophy of the liver, 5 years after the civil war but still probably a casualty of the war as before the war he was as stout and healthy looking a man as you could find. Polly filed an application for a widow's pension 1 July 1874. On 3 May 1889, she stated that she had not remarried after Samuel's death and she resided at Burns Mill. Polly was dropped from the pension rolls in 1898 because of death making her about 92 when she died.
