Biography
Isaac Cox performed Patriotic Service in New Jersey in the American Revolution.
Isaac is the son of Philip and Johanna (Trimbley) Cox. He married Sarah Sutton (1747-1828) in New Jersey and they raised a family of (at least) 5 children.
Isaac served in Formen's New Jersey Militia during the American Revolution.[1] After the war, the family moved into the land that is now part of Hackers Creek, West Virginia. They stayed there for some time, then the parents and some of the children moved to Bath Township, Greene County, Ohio.[2] While there, Sarah Sutton Cox died and is buried on land that is now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
According to family tradition, Isaac was homesick for the hills of (West) Virginia after losing his wife and moved back East. He lived with his son, Phillip, and his family in the area which is now Slab Creek, Ritchie County, WV, then Isaac moved back to the Hackers Creek area, where he was living when he died in 1838.--- This biographical information was provided by Fran Miller--daughter of Bob Shuman (a Korean War & Vietnam War vet.), granddaughter of Hallie Cox Shuman, great-granddaughter of Evan Carmack Cox, great-great granddaughter of Philip Cox (a Civil War vet.), great-great-great granddaughter of Isaac Cox, Jr. (a War of 1812 vet.) and great-great-great-great granddaughter of Isaac Cox, Sr. (a Rev. War vet.).
The DAR credits Isaac B. Cox with patriotic service in New Jersey, he paid the Supply Tax in 1781.[3]
