Their inventories in 1847 mention Charles Cox John Palmer A. Douglas Joel Burge		Preponderance of the evidence connects William & Cassandra Cox with William & Evalina Cox or with Charles & Martha Palmer Cox: 1: Cassandra’s aunt Sally Jackson lived in Lebanon, Wilson County, TN. 2. After 1847, the Jacksons and Burges removed from Lebanon to Muhlenberg Co., KY. 3. In 1860 William & Cassandra Cox removed from Lebanon to Muhlenberg Co., KY.

William Cox b: 1837 m: 1859 Cassandra Jackson (niece of Sarah Jackson Palmer) 1860 Removed to Muhlenberg, KY		4. William Cox Jr. who married Cassandra is likely the son of William Cox Sr., the brother of Littleberry Cox. 5. The above older Charles Cox is likely a son of Charles Cox, the brother of Littleberry Cox, and this would be proven by the y-dna of his male descendants. 6. William & Evalina’s inventories after their deaths include Charles Cox, Sarah Palmer Douglass and Elizabeth Palmer Burge, John Palmer and Margaret Reese. 7. The y-dna of William and Cassandra’s descendants match the descendants of Littleberry Cox and, therefore, should match his nephew, William Cox, Jr.

Isham Palmer b: 1764. Isham Palmer's two daughters married William & Sally Cox's sons, John and Anderson. Isham got 248 acres and sold John Cox part of it in 1826. Buried at the Palmer cemetery in the field ¼ mi. across from New Carroll-Oakland School: Robert Palmer b: 1807 & William Francis Palmer b: 1776, Sarah Palmer. John Palmer inherited the estate.

Isham Palmer removed to Edward’s Deport, in Hind’s Co., MS, and died there in about 1838. John Cox also went to MS and died there 10-27-1836. Isham’s land became a famous Civil War battle scene with 22,000 confederate soldiers.
