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.

Quaker 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.

1895 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.

Note: Hannah Jenkins married John Cox in 1720
John’s brothers were married at Abington Quaker Meeting, near Jenkintown, PA (Hinshaw’s Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy). These Coxes were from Abington Quaker Meeting, in Berkshire, England, not Wales.

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.
