Biography

• Eliza Barney Cox was the daughter of Lemuel Cox and Susanna Hickling. She was born about 1771. She married George Dudley 7 January 1795 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.^[1]
   

Eliza B. Dadley, aged 89, born in Massachusetts apppears in the household of the family of Josiah Brackett, aged 67 born in Massachusetts and his wife Eliza D. Brackett, aged 58, born in Massachusetts and their children living in Charlestown, then Middlesex, Massachusetts in 1860.^[2]

Eliza died 2 October 1860 according to one Massachusetts record. A Connecticut Record says she died 1 April 1890 in Portland, Middlesex, Connecticut. The Connecticut record would make her age 119 while the Massachusetts death record makes her a more reasonable 89 years old. One record does not give the town of death, just Massachusetts. (I believe that the use of the name Samuel rather than Lemuel was a mistake. But, it appears in both Massachusetts Records and the Connecticut Record. She does give her mother's name.)^[3][4]

The Connecticut record gives us her middle name and I presume that she was living in Portland, Middlesex, Connecticut sometime before she died. But she was probably buried in Boston.

The Massachusetts records give a different date of death for Eliza B. Cox Dudley giving the date 2 October 1860. But in this record the Event Place and the Residence are given and both are Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts. She is widowed and still says her father is Samuel Cox and was born in Malden, Massachusetts and her mother, Susanna was born in Boston, Massachusetts.^[5]

George and Eliza had a daughter, Mary Ann Dudley born in 1796. She married Josuha Brackett. Mary Ann died a widow 9 April 1877 in Massachusetts, aged 81.^[6]George Dudley (sometimes spelt Dadley) was born in England, Eliza was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Maryann Brackett was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She died in Brookline, Norfolk, Massachusetts, where she lived on Pleasant Street. She was a widow.^[7]f
