Biography

Dave Cox ... Entered by John Phillips, Jan 25, 2012

William Cox was born on 22 February 1750. The birth date is difficult to read and the year is uncertain.1 He was the son of Isaac Cox and Olive Underwood. William Cox married Elizabeth (?) circa 1824 at North Carolina. No marriage record is known for William Cox. His wife Elizabeth, whose maiden name remains unknown is first named in his 1817 estate records as his widow. Some estate records survived the burning of the Burke County Court house in 1865 and these are preserved at Raleigh. Most have little detail and I do not have copies, only notes The estate of Isaac Cox was settled in 1813, William in 1817 and David in 1832. David handled the estate for his brother William and some of the William's heirs were still mentioned when David's estate was settled. This showed that some of WIliam's heirs at law were James McTaggart, Olive McTaggart, and Sarah Cox. William's widow, Elizabeth, married a Mr. Brown..
