  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      1850 census: Fannin Co. TX
      fam. 146
      R.S. Cox, 43, m. NC (owns no land)
      L. Cox, 36 f, MO
      C.C. Cox 14 m, MO
      Jno F. 9 m, MO
      M.E. Cox 1 f, TX
      John J Cox 46 m, NC owns land valued at $400

      It appears the Cox family traveled with John McFarland and his other daughters and their families since they all arrived from MO in the same year.

      Robert S. Cox purchased 55 acres of land from Jackson McFarland in January, 1863. This land was from the Jackson McFarland survey, next to the Daniel Davis survey. (Book N, p. 562 Fannin County Deed Records)
