A birth date (Cox-5479 born 12 Mar 1751) should not be within eight months of a sibling's birth date (Cox-3151 born 22 Feb 1751) unless they are twins born within a day of each other.

Cox-12759 and Cox-5479 appear to represent the same person because: Hello, I just found a deed signed by my ggg-grandmother Sarah Cox McDonald that stated her father was Amos Cox. Everything I have seen so far indicates he was the same Amos Cox as is in your tree. Thanks.
