I am attempting to determine the parentage of Levi L. Cox who
was born 9Jun1823 in Indiana, county unknown. He married
Margaret Moore 7 Sep1844 in Wabash Co., IN and had 11 children.
They lived in Wabash Co. until ca.1864-1867, whereupon they
moved to Fulton Co., IN where Levi died ca.1Mar1869.
Children:
daughter Cox (1846-1846)
Fernando G. Cox (1848-1852)
Arthur Miller Cox (1850/1-1869)
Mary Ann Cox (1853-1892) m. Wm Phillebaum
Melvina Cox (1854/5-1912) m.George W. Jones
Russell Cox (1857-1946) m. Sara L. Miller
Eli Carver Cox (1859-1935) m(1).
Catherine Hoff
m(2). Sarah Jane Johnson
John W. Cox (1861-1928) m. Abigail "Abby" Null
Martha Jane "Mattie" Cox (1864-1948) m. Alvah Stoops
Lucy Ella "Ella" Cox (1867-1953) m. Jacob "Jake" C.
Shoemaker
[unknown female] Cox (died in infancy)
Possible siblings to Levi:
Aaron Y. Cox (b.ca.1835/6, IN - county unknown)
(b.ca.1840/1, IN - county unknown) married Jefferson
Ray 7Jul1856, Wabash Co.IN. Peraba's name may actually
be "Feraba" or "Theaba".
Aaron and Peraba were residing with Levi Cox in the 1850 Census
of Wabash Co., but they are too old to be children of Levi and
Margeret, so I presume they are either siblings or other close
relatives.
Other possible siblings to Levi (based on circumstantial evidence)
John V. Cox (b.1828, IN - county unknown; d.28Feb1892,
Wabash Co., IN)
Samuel T. Cox (b.9Sep1832, IN - county unknown; d.29May1909,
Wabash Co.,IN)
