Biography

Benjamin was a Friend (Quaker)

Benjamin Cox was born about 1732 according to the original uploaded information.

He married on 16 SEP 1751 at Huntington, Adams, Pennsylvania.

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]

Will and Probate

On the last page of his will, he 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]

Research Note

A different Benjamin Cox was born on 18 Feb 1723 at London Grove, Chester, Pennsylvania Colony to Richard and Margret Cox. [3] These two profiles should not be merged or conflated.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cox-266 is the husband of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Watson-206 and I am looking for the husband of MARGARET


Do these need more work to disambiguate? Does someone need added?

The Quaker records that I found for Benjamin Cox born 1723 had the parents of Richard and Margaret Cox. I will move this info. Check out this source: https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/23464749?h=bdc484&utm_campaign=bandido-webparts&utm_source=post-share-modal&utm_medium=copy-url

Hi Edie, I'm finding the same set of alternate parents. So, where do we go from here?

Nibling-2 Edie (Nibling) Kohutek J.D.
There are many Benjamin Coxes born about the same time. I think my intention was to remove the birth record because Richard and Margaret Cox apparently are not this Benjamin Cox's parents but are attached to Cox-266. This is such an old note. I will try to verify my research.
