This
Curd Cox (another grandson of old Curd) was the son of Richardson Cox
(who
went by "Wit Cox" in later years) and Nancy Conner Cox. Curd's wife,
Nancy,
was the daughter of Wm. Conner, Jr. and Sarah Cox. This is
discussed
in Bill Irwin's Conner Book.
His
sons were William Henry Harrison Cox and James Madison Cox, the executors
of this
will.
This Curd
born 15 Jan 1817, married 23 Apr 1840, died 26 Aug 1882. His wife
Nancy died 28 Aug 1900.
His
son, J.M. Cox, married Martha Jane Bishop; his daughter, Sarah, married
Archibald
W. Bishop. His son, William H. H. Cox,
married Mary Ann Williams,
likely
related to the witness Robberds Williams.
