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.
