I’m continuing my research on the family of Jesse Cox and Mary Wagle in Madison County, Kentucky. I researched their eldest son John last week. This week as I begin my work, I am resolving all the hints provided for the descendants of John and his wife Mary Parks. Suffice it to say, this family went forth and multiplied. For later reference when I go back through my DNA shared matches for the Cox line, I am going to list the surnames and locations.

  • Louisa Cox + David Taylor
    • Taylor
      • Kentucky: Madison, Estill, Trimble, Henry Counties
      • New Mexico: Quay County
      • Texas: Eastland, Rusk, Galveston, Pecos County
      • Indiana: Marion County
      • Florida: Duval County
    • Whitlock
      • Indiana: Marion, Tippecanoe Counties
      • Colorado: Arapahoe County
    • Merritt
      • Kentucky: Estill County
    • Northcutt
      • Kentucky: Estill County
      • Ohio: Montgomery County
    • Hood
      • Ohio: Hamilton County
    • Williams
      • Texas: Lubbock County

Richard Taylor, the oldest of David and Louisa’s four children, had a lot of children. I will need to continue this exercise next week. I hope this exercise yields the result I want.

Error resolution. The last available update: I have 5018 errors in the tree–513 possible duplicates, 4058 with no documents, 447 other errors.

  • First up is a father in law of a distant cousin. He and his wife were pruned from the tree.
  • Next, a distant cousin with no references. In researching his sister, I found a family genealogy that listed this cousin.
  • Finally, the husband of a distant cousin whose first name is unknown and he has no references. Neither fact has been cleared.

Goals and progress…
Beginning of Week: 27,403 people
End of Week: 27,519 people
Change = +116 persons
Tasks for coming week:

  • Continue research on Isaac Cox, “The Immigrant” and his wife Susannah Tomlinson.
  • Review Coxes of Cox Creek
  • Run newspaper search, especially for articles recounting local history
  • Review the Cox package of information from Sweden
  • Look for documents in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky
