1. Support for Phillip Cox having a wife before Dorcas Hull is because the bible in the possession of the Hull family did not mention the birth of the child Anna Cox Cosart.
2. Beware the book Cox Family in America by Henry Miller Cox. Probably most of it is untrue.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anna by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Anna:
Cox-8336 and Cox-6325 appear to represent the same person because: The accuracy of her birth date determines which of Phillip Cox's wives was her mother. The year of her birth would appear to be 1705/6 or 1706/7. Either date would place her as a daughter of Dorcas Graves. If she was born in 1701 as some sources show, she would be the daughter of Hannah Trembley.
