I have always thought that Phineas was related to John P Cox who married Sarah Nunally and died in Warren Co, KY. I don't think it is a coincidence that John names one of his kids Phineas(I think that the P in John P Cox is probably also Phineas). Also descendants of John and Phineas get married! I am pretty sure now after finding a will for Mildred Estes Cox, wife of Frederick Cox(son of John Cox and Mary Coleman), that John P Cox is their son who is mentioned in the will of 1822 as living beyond Virginia. I did find a pedigree on Rootsweb that had the father of Phineas as an unknown William Cox of VA. Frederick Cox had two brothers Bartley and John. Both married Bouldin girls. I can find no children for Bartley, and John had two sons Richard and John. This John could also be John P COx. I can't find any record of what happened to the nephews of Frederick Cox. John P Cox named his oldest child Coleman Cox, which has led some to include John P Cox as a son of John Cox and Mary Coleman. However, Mary would have been well past 50 at his birth in 1758 so he is much more likely to be a grandson. If John P and Phineas are not brothers than they must be at least cousins or other close relation. . Following is a part that case that gives information of Frederick and Mildred Cox's Children: "Your orators further sheweth your Honor that the following are the children of the said Milly Cox to Wit. The Defendants Isham Cox who lives in the state of Tennessee (later Alabama) John Cox who lives beyond the limits of the state (in Virginia) Franc is who intermarried with Phillip Anglin both of who live in Virginia . Aarmin intermarried with Thomas Bouldin who resides in Virginia. Mary, intermarried with Jonathan Vernon who lives in Ohio. Sally intermarried with the defendant John Simmons who resides in the county of Stokes (NC). All the above children survived their mother. They further show that said Milly Cox had a daughter named Nancy who intermarried with Thomas Childress, and by whom she had an only child a daughter which intermarried with ____Riddle by whom she had children, whose names are unknown to our orators and who reside in South Carolina, and that said childress and wife and and Riddle and wife all died in the lifetime of said Milly Cox, and that letters of administrations was legally grantedd to the estate of _______. Your orators shew that the said Mildred Cos had a daughter named Mildred, who after she arrived of full age, died in the lifetime of her mother in 1822. This submitted by stumey@ols.net Any comments?
