James Cox, Littleberry’s youngest brother, first married Elizabeth Farris, in 1800 and then married Judith Jones, daughter of Erasmus Jones, in 1815, at Entry Creek. Next we find them in Cannon County, Tennessee. In the 1840 Census, William H. Cox, son of James, is living 16 houses from Michael, Erasmus Sr., Aaron, and Erasmus Jr. who again were still neighbors. James and Judith had two sons and two daughters that I could find so far. William H. Cox, born 1819 (married Apsley Bond), Lavina Ann Cox, born 1824 (married William McGee), James R. Cox, born 1826 (married Elizabeth S.), and Delila Cox, born 1828 (married John Stephen Morgan, nephew of Edmund Jones). In 1850, James’ son, James
R., was living near Watertown, in Wilson County, District 19, married to
Elizabeth S., or Sarah. Both were age 25. In 1860, both were 35 having
daughters, Harriett, Mary and Martha. In 1870, Sarah is called Sally. James R. is still in District 19 having daughter, Martha, and a son, Jonas. In 1900, James is a
widower living with his daughter, Martha, and son-in-law, Henry B. Shorter.
No record of Jonas. J. R. and Elizabeth S. are
buried at Jones Hill Cemetery, in Wilson County. Erasmus Jones Jr. died in 1861 and is buried at the Dean Cemetery, junction of I-20 and Old Brock Rd., Weatherford, TX, west of Dallas. The cemetery is on land donated by Erasmus. |

Jones families of Wales were followers of George Fox, who visited Wales and
the Netherlands. Some French Huguenot families left Sedan, France, and the
Netherlands for Bristol, England and Wales before coming to America around
1700. French Huguenot families of the Netherlands and France included the
Hughes, Jounay (Jones), Soblet (Sublett), Faure (Fore), Fouquet (Fuqua),
Fontaine, Noel, Dibrell, and LeGrand families. The Subletts are found in the
wills of John Cox and his son, Littleberry, and Emily Noel was Littleberry’s
daughter-in-law. This may account for the Littleberry Cox line being in the
y-dna haplogroup J2. Levites in the Netherlands were also J2. |

William H. Cox,
son of James Cox, Littleberry’s brother, married Alesala Seates (on her wedding bond) but
is referred to as “Apsley Cates” on Rootsweb. Her sister, Nancy Bond, also
married a Seat, probably “Seates”. Her sisters, Margaret and Christina Bond, married Michael and
Erasmus Jones Jr. (Two sisters married two brothers.) Another sister, Alesala, “Apsley”, first married a Seates
like her sister, Nancy Bond. Again it is likely that two sisters married two
brothers. Caroline Bond’s second
marriage was to John Cox. In 1860, his father, James Cox, age 82, was living
in John’s residence. There are two reasons why this James Cox is not related
to Littleberry’s brother, James, who was also born in 1778. 1. One
transcriber records that James Cox was age 82, born SC (South Carolina). 2.
Judith Jones, widow of James Cox, bought land in Cannon Co., TN, in
1852. The document says that both
Erasmus Jones and James Cox were deceased prior to 1852. |

Oklahoma Land Grab Land west of Arkansas and Missouri eventually
becoming Oklahoma after 1909 was defined as Indian Territory after 1828. The
Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole settled there. After 1865,
US Land Office redefined this territory as land conquered during the Civil
war but still compensated the Indians seven million dollars for seven million
acres. On Monday, at noon, on 4-22-1889, the population
of Guthrie, just north of Oklahoma City, was zero. By evening it was at least
10,000. There were 42,000 homesteads, but 100,000 raced for the land on that
day. After 1900, Cox, McGee, Jones and about all other
surnames are suddenly found in Oklahoma. Our
McGee and Russell Side My mother’s grandfather, George Russell, was born
in 1822, in Wilson Co., TN, and married Zelphia Brooks. Zilphia Russell was
born on 2-10-1826. She died on 2-15-1860, and he remarried Mary F. Crossno in
about 1864. She died and was buried in Sharp Co., Arkansas, near Poukeepsie.
Her family had also lived in Wilson Co., TN. My mother’s mother was Zelphia Jane Russell who
married William Van Buren McGee at Evening Shade, Sharp Co., AR. She was 28
in 1911, when my mother was born. She died shortly after childbirth, and Mom
was raised by her “Aunt JoAnn”, Nancy JoAnna McGee (Mrs. William Spencer
Sullivan, son of Littleberry Sullivan) in Cave City. AR. William McGee
remarried Mrs. M. A. Prater in 1914. There were many Russell, Prater and Crossno family
members living in Cannon and Wilson Co., TN. Mom’s “Aunt Angie”, Mary Angeline McGee, married
Luthis Bloomington Delman, her high school teacher, and removed to Forsythe,
MO, near Branson. The grandfather of his first wife, Sarah Brashear, had been
the Mayor of Lafayette, IN, in about 1860. Chapman McGee, half brother of JoAnna and Angie,
removed to Wewoka, Seminole Co., OK, and is interred eight miles east of
there. Their brother, William, was closely associated with Cherokee Village,
in Sharp County, and spoke the Cherokee and/or Seminole languages. |

married John Cox in 1720 Marriages of Mary (Polly),
Sarah (Sally), Charles, Littleberry and James Cox were also recorded
in Hinshaw’s Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy, in Campbell Co., VA. Since
these lived among Welsh at Entry Creek, Campbell Co., VA, they may have been
associated with Quakers from Wales. There were several good
reasons to connect the family of Littleberry Cox with the Coxes of Abington
Quaker Meeting, in Berkshire, England, but, after comparing y-dna
results, it is likely that they are haplogroup R1b1, not J2. More research is
needed. Other leads: |
