Benjamin and Martha are noted in the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting minutes, as parents of Benjamin, marrying Rebecca Cox; Emey, marrying Thomas Cox; Ruth, marrying Nathaniel Cox.[1]
Research Note
On the last page of Benjamin Cox's will written in 1817, presumably her husband's, Benjamin Cox gave 50 acres of land to the Quakers which he had set apart for the use of the Friends for the Holly Springs Monthly Meeting. [2] Also besides leaving land to his two sons, William and Joseph, he left his bed to his granddaughter, Martha Cox, the daughter of William.[2] The rest of his property was to be divided equally amongst the rest of his children: Ruth, John, Emey, Joseph, William, and Jeremiah.[2] This will doesn't mention his wife which leads one to believe she was deceased. However, it does mention his granddaughter Martha, which would support a connection to his wife, Martha. All of the children are also listed in this will.
