I have been chasing this family around for a long time. I have a Sarah in Bedford Co, VA - in 1782 she is using both the Cox surname and Graham - at the same time. For some reason she is known by both names in her community. Her first born is Jesse - aka Jester in one court record. Her children also use both names for a time but eventually settle on the Graham/Grimes name surname. By 1782 Sarah has 10 children and that's all I have to go on for a dob. She's probably 35-40 so would fit into your Cox family. Jester Cox of Bedford County lived next to the Graham "plantation". If you get any hints on this connection, please let me know.
