FOURTH GENERATION

29. Joshua COX ⁽¹⁾ was born on 30 Mar 1773 in Grayson County, Virginia. ⁽²⁾ The IGI file has him born in Ashe County, North Carolina. He died on 1 Jan 1860 in Ashe County, North Carolina. He has Ancestral File number RN1N-D3. He was buried in Near Scottville, Ashe, North Carolina.

He was married to the mother of Jesse Cox before 1792 in [Ashe County, North Carolina]. THERE IS NO PROOF that Joshua Cox had an earlier marriage before Nancy Richardson. THIS IS MERELY A WORKING HYPOTHESIS. The mother of Jesse Cox supposedly died at birth. He was born about 1792 in the Ashe County area. If so, his mother died about 1792. Joshua married Nancy in 1793. I have placed this unknown woman here as Jesse's mother to demonstrate where Jesse would fit into the family tree if the hypothesis is correct. . . . Mark Christian August, 2000
