---Snyder Roberts

Mrs. Helen Clayton information says he was born in Orange Co., VA andm. Mary Bryson (1761-1805) of Surry Co., NC. Information elsewhere that he married Tabitha ???. Possibly died in childbirth in 1805 as that was when his son, Samuel, was born. Per Snyder Roberts, possible father of John was Capt. William Cox, b 1705 Orange Co. VA, m. 1754 toRebecca Edwards. Capt Cox fought at Kings Mountain in 1780, but wouldhave been too old to have been the same Capt William Cox born in 1705.

1. John Cox signed a road petition and listed in Capt. Nails Co. in1817 paying poll tax (Book E. p 189.)
2. John Cox purchased 112 acres and a ferry on Clinch River from HughFrancis in 1818. (Site of the 1970s-1980s Clinch River BreederReactor. Also site of Indian Town of Paw Paw.

COVER SHEETS, OR SUMMARY

John Cox (1758-1841) Rev. War Pensioner, Roane County pioneer to the Paw Paw ford are on Clinch River.

This compilation of information on Rev. War pensioner, John Cox, and his descendants has been prepared to serve as basic ?work papers? for further genealogical study and research on this old pioneer, Roane County family. This information needs to be further refined by research, errors corrected, and new information added as research and study progresses.

Contributors

The participating in this family search and making contributions of their findings include: Mrs. Laura Cox Younger of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Ina Cox Ollis of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Mildred Foster of Harriman, Mrs. Dorothy Cox Melton of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Denise Cox Phillips of Oliver Springs, Mr. Elmer Cox Jr. of Sugar Grove Valley together with his nephews and nieces, Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, Utah, and others ot a lesser degree.

Further Research Areas

Much of the success of developing a good Cox family history will necessitate the sorting out of known facts about John Cox and obtaining further documentary proof in the form of military and pension records. Accurate military records, chancery and circuit court records, and other miscellaneous county records need to be searched more fully, also, most of John Cox?s son?s records remain to be researched.

Rev. War John Cox

Mrs. Emma Wells in her book ?History of Roane County, Tenn? page 28 lists the Rev. War soldiers living in Roane County who were pensioned under the Pension Act of 1832. In the list is John cox, Pvt., who served from the state of Va. On page 2929, she lists the Rev. War soldiers in Roane County who were drawing a pension under the Pension Act of 1840. In this list is John Cox, who was 82 years of age at that time (1840). This information establishes his birthdate as 1758, and will be used until his military and pension papers can be obtained from the National Archives, from a family Bible, or other documents.

Additional Information

Mrs. Helen Clayton has unverified information to the effect that John Cox was born in 1758 in Orange County, VA., and married Mary Bryson (1761-1805) of Surry County, North Carolina. Other information has him married to Tabitha ______ ________, so he could have been married twice, or his wife?s name was Mary Tabithya. Also, unverified, that John Cox fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain, but Pat Alderman?s rolls do not list a ?John Cox?. Also, unverified is the statement that Johohn Cox?s father, Capt. William Cox, born 1705 in Orange County, VA., who married 1754 to Rebecca Edwards. A Capt. William Cox did fight at Kings Mountain (1780), but he (John?s father) would have been decrepit from old age if this were the same one (75 years of age).

Other information

Summer?s Annale of Southwest, Va. Has oodles of information about a John Cox, and a William Cox.

A John and a William Cox were signers to a petition in connection with the State of Franklin, (Ramsey?s Annale). Goodspeed in his ?history of East Tenn?, tells about a William Cox who was a J.P., respected in politics, and lived between New Market and Strawberry Plains, (page 185), with a Samuel Cox living nearby. William Cox was one of the J.P?s whenJefferson County was formed in 1702. East Tenn. Hist. Soc. Publication for Dec. 1896, page 147, contains the list of names in Thomas Amis? account book (Hawkins Co.). In the list are accounts with Capt. John Cox, 1784, and William Cox, Sr., 1783. If this is ?our? John, he rated a ?Capt.? When 16 years of age. It can be seen that there is much material on the early Cox families to be researched and sorted out.

?Our John Cox in Roane?

?Our? John Cox definitely was in Roane Co. in 1817 as shown by his signature on a road petition, and listed iN Capt. Nails Co. in 1817 paying a poll tax, Book E. page 189. In 1818, John Cox bought 112 acres and a ferry on Clinch River from Hugh Francis. His tract was the site of the present day Clinch River Atomic Breeder Reactor (now defunct). This site was the site of the Indian town of Paw Paw. John Cox would have been neighbors with Dr. Richard Richards, the families of Waller, Fritts, Pickel, Francis, Jones, Nails, Rother, Gallaher, Weleker, Roberts, Miller, etc.

Shortly after John received his Rev. War pension, he sold nearly all of his 112 acres in 1833 to Martin Watson (Deed Book F, page 872). See abstract of deeds attached. John seemed to have lived in semi-retirement until his death October 25, 1841.

John Cox?s Will

In John?s will dated July 1840, he lists by names nine sons, two granddaughters, and five female slaves. No ages are given, nor is a wife mentioned. Only a part of Roane County official and other records have been scanned for bits of information on John Cox and his nine sons in an effort to compile factual information that may be useful in fitting the past of the John Cox story together.

Four of the nine sons have been found in census records that provide dates for their ages, and three with states of their death. The nine sons are treated below in the order in which their names appear in their father?s will.

1. Martin Cox (Born 1799- )

Martin Cox?s name appears on the Roane County 1826 Militia and Tax List. In 1826 he was captain of a company and apparently paying taxes on one 4 acre tract and another of 100 acres. In order to have served (been elected) as a Captain of the Militia, he would have had to be 21 years of age or older and a man with a good reputation and mature judgement.

Martin Cox does not appear in the Roane County 1830 census, and had evidently already departed Roane to live in Overton Cunty, Tennessee, some 60 to 75 miles to the northwest. Martin Cox and the prominent Baptist Preacher, Micah Sellers, were the Executors of John Cox?s will dated July 1840, and they carried out the provisions of the will after John?s death, October 25, 1841.

In 1833, Martin Cox of Overton County, Tennessee, sold to James Atkins of Roane County, 100 acres on the north side of the Clinch River (Roane Deed Book G, page 621).

The Martin Cox family is shown in the Overton County 1840 census with four boys, 2 girls and a wife. His age was between 1790-1800, four boys from 5 to 20 years of age, 2 girls 5 to 15 years of age, and his wife between 1800-1810.

The Overton County 1850 census shows Martin Cox as born in North Carolina in 1799, 5 children with birth dates ranging from1830 to 1849, and a wife Sara born 1816 in Kentucky. These records indicate that Martin wa then living with a second wife, and some of his older children had married. No doubt, much more information could be gathered on this family in Overton County. This Martin Cox had a nephew, Martin Cox, in Roane, and possible other descendants used the name.

(Attachments not included in this document.)

2. Allen Cox (born 1800-1810--- )

Allen Cox was married to Elizabeth White Dec 24, 1826 in Roane County by Brashear Roberts, J.P.. In 1828, Allen Cox and George White conveyed a tract of 66 acres, located near the Martin Cox land, to William Burns. According to the Roane Counnty 1830 census, Allen Cox was born between 1800 and 1810, his wife was born between 1800- and 1810, 1 girl under 5 years and 1 boy under 5 years, and a female in the household born between 1780 and 1790 (possibly a mother-in-law). The Allen Coox family is also listed in the Roane County 1830 school census in Captain White?s company living near his father John Cox and his brother Samuel Cox. Allen Cox?s children are not known, but his father, John Cox, in his will, left a slave to the Allen Cox children.

3. Richard Cox (born 1804- )

According to the Lewis C. Co Bible now in the possession of Mrs. Laura Cox Younger of Oliver Springs, his father, Richard Cox was born July 15, 1804 in North Carolina, and died March 26, 1895. In the Roane County 1826 Militia and Tax List, Richard Cox is shown in Captain Burris? Company living with either his father, John Cox, or his brother, Martin Cox. He did not own land, but wa old enough (21 years) to pay a poll tax. Richard does not show up by name in either the Roane or Anderson County 1830 census, but may have been still living in the houseold of his father.
Probably about 1831 or 32, Richard married a well-to-do Anderson County girl Rachel Nichols (also Nichles), born 1812, died December 8, 1887. She was the daughter of William and Rachel Haslet Nichols who were married in nox County 10-21-1796. William Nickols was listed in Captain Lone?s Militia and Tax List for Knox County for 1807. (There was also a John Cox in the same Company, -possibly our John Cox.) William Nichols acquired 5 valuable tracts of land in the 9th District of AAnderson County on Clinch River between Scarbrought and Edgemoor. These two Rachels (mother and daughter) must have been strong characters and well loved women, because of the practice in later years of the Cox families by naming their daughters ?Rachel?.
Richard and Rachel Cox appear in the Anderson County 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. Richard and Rachel acquired 50 acres, possibly by inheritance from William and Rachel Nichols as shown in Anderson County Deed Book K, page 422. He also acqquired from others their share in the original Nichols homeplace, see Book R, page 220 dated 1855. Not easily traced, but other transactions in Anderson include; Book S, page 383, Richard Cox to Lewis CV. Cox; Book S, page 188, R.T. Cox to Jamemes H. Cox; Book U, page 65 Richard Cox to his son Lewis Cox dated 1/12/1867,-?his share in 80 acres where Richard and Rachel now live.? Book U, page 66, Lewis C. Cox to his brother Thomas A. Cox, 1867?163 acres. The Anderson County 1880 census shows Richard and Rachel Cox living in the home with William Nichols, Jr. ? showing that he was born in North Carolina, his father was born in Virginia and his mother born in North Carolina.
See the set of Richard Cox family data sheets attached for more details on his descendants. His eldest son Lewis Clark Cox, born 1835, was a man of prominence. He fought in the Civil War, served as Anderson County Circuit Clerk in 1870, his son Jessie was a school teacher and his son Robert A. Cox reared a famil in Roane.
Lewis Cox?s Bible, and his son Robert A. Cox?s Bible have provided the proof and many answers to problems in the Cox story. Thanks to Mrs. Laura Cox Younger, Xerox copies of data from these two Bibles are attached.
4. Samuel Cox (born 1805, Tenn)
According to the Roane County 1850 census, Samuel Cox was born in 1805 in Tennessee. If the census is correct, this birth date and place is important, because it is evident that dates the time of his father?s family moving from North Carolina t to Tennessee. His brother, Richard was born in North Carolina in 1804. It is possible that the father, John Cox, came from North Carolina to Knox County, Tennessee, because a John Cox is listed in Captain Lone?s company of Knox County in 1807. (This needs further research.)
Samuel?s father, John Cox, was in Roane by 1817, and bought his Clinch River Farm and Ferry in 1818. Although he was not 21 years of age, Samuel?s name appears in an 1818 ?road petition?. Samuel is listed in Captain White?s 1830 School Districct. He is listed in the Roane 1830 census with a wife and one daughter and living with his father. Samuel married Mary ?Polly Copeland?, in Roane County July 20, 1828. He and his father, John, were living in the same household in 1832 when his father received his Rev. War Pension. Of course, Samuel ws named in his father?s will in 1840.
Samuel was one of the more important children of John Cox from the standpoint of tracing Cox family history. His descendants remained mostly in in Roane or nearby. His son, James, had a large family; is son Martin had a large family, fought iin the Civil War, and bought and sold much land; Richard ?Dick? Cox was a Civil War soldier. Samuel Cox may have fought in the Civil War, and may be the Samuel Cox buried in Cem. #17 with a military stone beside his son Martin (Bear Creek Valley O.R.).
Samuel Cox bought and sold much land, especially in the Bethel Valley-Chestnut Ridge-Bear Creek Valley area. The exact date of Samuel?s death is not known but it was after 1870. His widow, Mary, was living near her son Martin in the Roane 1880 census.
See attached set of family data sheets on Samuel and his descendants.
5. Matthew Cox
At the present time, the birthdate, birthplace, etc., of Matthew Cox is unknown. He has not been found in any Roane County records, census records, etc., except his name in his father?s will in which he was to receive a sum of money. Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, one of the researchers of the Cox family, has some family data on Matthew and a wife named Ann, but this information has not been received in time for inclusion in these work papers.
6. Alexander Cox
Alexander Cox has not been found in any Roane, Anderson or Morgan County census records. In McCluen?s, a tax lists of Roane?, Alexander is shown as paying taxes on 170 acres located on Poplar Creed in 1816, apparently his brother, Thomas, was living with him. If this date is correct, then he preceded his father, John Cox, to Roane by one year. The Roane 1819 Tax List shows Alexander Cox living on Clinch River with 40 acres. In 1820 he was in Captain Nail?s company with his father John, and brothers Thomas, Sinclair, and James in Captain Pickle?s Company. In 1841 Alexander is listed in Captain Johnson?s Company with 50 acres on Clinch River, together with his brothers Thomas and Sinclair.
On February 8, 1821, Alexander Cox married Sarah West in Roane County. The Morgan County, Tennessee, 1836 tax list (History of Morgan County by Ott and Freytag) shows Alexander Cox with 500 acres in the 8th District which was in the extreme western part of Morgan County near the Cumberland County line. The Morgan County 1876 tax list shows the ?A.B. Cox? heirs paying on 325 acres in the 8th District, and a J.A. Cox paying on 200 acres in the 7th district. Among the Cox?s shown in Mororgan 1870 census I s a Martin Cox, born 1845, wife Sarah, born 1845, and 2 children. Obviously further research needs to be done in the Morgan area. Of course, Alexander was mentioned in his father?s will. It appears that Alexander was one of the older sons of Jon Cox and probably born in North Carolina.
7. Sinclair Cox
Sinclair Cox has not been found in Roane or surrounding counties census records, and his birth date, and place of birth are unknown at this time. He evidently ws born before 1800, because in the Roan 1808 Tax List he is sown in Captain Nail?s Company, (probably in the home of his brother Thomas) as paying a poll tax. This means that he was at least 21 years of age. In 1819 he and his brother Thomas signed a road petition and again in 1819, he was paying a poll tax. In 1920 he is listed in Captain Nail?s Company and paying taxes on 30 acres on Clinch River. In 1821, he is listed in Captain Johnson?s Company and paying on 30 acres. In his father?s will dated 1840, Sinclair?s children were each given money, children not named.
Researchers, Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, has information given to her on Sinclair which says that Sinclair married a Mary? Sims, but she has not documentary proof. From his father?s will we know that Sinclair had children.
8. Thomas Cox
Thomas Cox has not been found in a census record, and his birthdate and birthplace are not known at this time. He was evidently born before 1800 because he is sown in Roane County 1816 Tax List in Captain Nail?s Company, apparently living with his brother Alexander on Poplar Creek. Thomas was paying pool tax, and a tax on one stud horse. In 1817, he is listed in Captain West?s Company, and paying on 115 acres. In 1818, he is shown in Captain Nail?s Company, paying on 115 acres, and his brother was living with him. In 1820 he is in Captain Nail?s company paying a poll tax and on 100 acres on Clinch River. In 1821, Thomas Cox was in Captain Johnson?s Company paying on 100 acres in Bear Creek. In his father?s will in 1840, each of Thomas?s children were to receive money.
Note: This Thomas is not to be confused with a Thomas Cox, the son of Isham Cox, who lived south of Tennessee River in Roane.
9. James Cox
James Cox was left money by his father?s will in 1840 (no children?s names mentioned). It appears that James was born before 1800. In 1819, his name appears together with his brother?s Thomas and Sinclair on a road petition. In 1819, he is shown with Sinclair on Poplar Creek, and paying a pool tax. In 1820 he was listed in Captain Pickle?s Company, and paying a poll tax.

Max,

First off Max, I would like to say, thank you for your support. I am
sure much of the information about the Cox/Carey line has your
fingerprints on it. I have looked at all the old emails and found you
sent me many of the leads that led me to the conclusions that I have
today about my Cox line. With that said...

I found new information on the John Cox family of Roane Co TN. First,
the deed which is the right dates for him to come to Roane County.
The census shows John Cox with probably his son Matthew Cox, without
a wife and a young daughter. Third tells a story of John Cox with
another wife and the 1830 census shows he has a wife. His younger
children are also on the census of 1830. The last entry here has a
story of a murder of a John Cox in 1851 Roane Co TN. This John Cox
was probably a grandson of the elder John Cox since he probably
passed over about 1840. Its a mystery of what happened that day. -
All for now. Maureen

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.

Research was not dated.

Samuel married Mary Polly Copeland on 20 Jul 1828 in Kingston, Roane, Tennessee, United States. Mary was born in 1810; died in 1911. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.
