GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX 3 Foreword About “Being Jewish” The paper trail back to Littleberry Cox (my father’s grandfather’s grandfather) has had three YDNA donors, which prove they belong to the J2 haplogroup. It is my impression that the lab at FamilyTree DNA first arranged J2 as a "Jewish" haplogroup, J standing for "Jewish". However, after thousands of other donors, the haplogroup has expanded to include some living in Lebanon, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Italy, Alsace Lorraine, Portugal and the Netherlands. Julius Caesar captured Alsace Lorraine and probably took some Israelite servants and soldiers from Italy to there. Allegedly, Lazarus, Mary the mother of Christ, Joseph of Arimathea (Israel) settled in Cyprus, Leon (France) and Glastonbury (England). It should be noted that Y-DNA does not pass a race down from father to son. If Solomon had married wives from many nations and many races, each son would have Solomon's Y-DNA but not necessarily his race. Allegedly, the Queen of Sheba was black and allegedly had a son of Solomon. The son might have been black and still have Solomon’s haplotype. Moreover, Gypsies and Hittites have often been mistaken as having "Jewish looking" noses and other features. About 400 years ago, France, Germany and much of Europe reserved Poland as the Jewish "homeland" and evacuated them to there. French Huguenots were also too "Jewish" and were expelled to "communes" such as the one in Sedan, France. Some of these escaped to Mannheim, Germany, and near Amsterdam (the Netherlands), and many of them, eventually, joined William of Orange in conquering all of England. The Cox clan along the James River in Virginia became associated with Michaux, Noel, Sublett and other Huguenot families from Sedan (France) and Amsterdam. The William Cox clan of Amsterdam became associated with the Quaker Coxes in Pennsylvania who came from Berkshire and Glocestershire, England. William Penn's mother, Margaret Jasper, lived in Rotterdam. George Fox, founder of the Quakers, had followers in the Netherlands. Augustine Herman was from The Hague. Colonial Americans honored William of Orange in naming their first college, "William and Mary College" and in naming Orange Co., VA, Orange Co., NC, and Orange Co., IN. Actually, the Revolutionary War could be renamed the “Presbyterian War” of the Church of Scotland (led by John Knox). It was stimulated by clashes with the Church of England, which collected "tithes" from all citizens to support the "Official Church". Quakers often lived adjacent to and migrated with the Presbyterians into West Virginia and Southern Virginia and North Carolina. Presbyterians were Indian fighters, frontiersmen and owned slaves. Quakers avoided war and required that their own slaves to be set free after 1772. Proof Needed: Search for Y-DNA Donors Four theories are presented to identify the grandfather of Littleberry Cox. James, son of Valentine Cox of Lynchburg, VA, removed to Monroe Co., MO, across the river from Valentine’s daughter, Lucy Johnson, in Hancock Co., IL, in about 1830. Marriages of James and Lucy are in Hinshaws Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy, Vol. VI. Valentine had a brother, John Cox. Their parents were Henry Cox and Judith Redford who were probably married before 1740. Our John Cox, Littleberry’s father, was also born about 1740 and the marriages of his offspring are also in Hinshaws Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy, Vol. VI, Lynchburg Twp. area.

GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX 4 We could not prove that our John Cox was related to Valentine Cox until we found a male Y-DNA donor, a descendant of Valentine Cox. Census records for the Coxes of Monroe Co. and Shelby Co., MO, helped us find male descendants of James Cox, son of Valentine. James married Elizabeth Gills. The Y-DNA of Valentine Cox should determine the Y-DNA of all male Coxes who descend from William Coxe, the 1610 immigrant to Jamestown, VA. I cannot express how important this was. I had to trace the last Coxes living in Monroe Co. and Shelby Co., MO, in the census records. The same could be done for the descendants of John Cox, son of Frederick (son of Bartholomew). His Y-DNA should match the descendants of Valentine Cox. This John married Tabitha Price near Farmville, VA, and their son, John, moved to Greenville, KY. He has relatives living in Campbellsville, KY. Moreover, the same could be done for the Coxes of Cane Creek, Orange Co., IN, who went to French Lick High School. The family claims to be descendants of Littleberry’s brother, Charles Cox & Elizabeth Reese. Y-DNA tests should match descendants of Littleberry. A descendant of George Cox Jr. (grandson of Bartholomew) needs to be tested, but information is lacking on who his children and grandchildren were. The Lemuel Johnson - Samuel Clemens – Cox Connections There is evidence that favored John, the brother of Valentine Cox, as the father of Littleberry Cox. The strongest evidence was the association among the Coxes, Clements, and other families of Lynchburg, VA, Columbia, KY, and Monroe Co., MO. But a donor was found who failed to match a the Y-DNA of Littleberry Cox’s descendant. Adam Clement married Agnes Johnson in Bedford Co., VA, 2-7-1765. She was a Quaker from Camp Creek, Louisa Co., VA. (She was a sister of Lemuel Johnson’s grandfather, Christopher Johnson.) Their son, Samuel Clement, married Pamela Goggin in Bedford Co., VA, in 1797, a year after Littleberry Cox married in Campbell County. Pamela was from Campbell County. Their son, John Marshall Clements, was born in Lynchburg on 8-11-1798. He married Jane Casey Lampton in Columbia, Adair Co., KY, on 5-6-1823. It is assumed that families living near Clementsville are related to them. More research is needed. They moved to Florida, Monroe Co., MO, where their son, Samuel Langhorn Clemens (better known as Mark Twain who wrote the Adventures of Tom Sawyer) was born 11-30-1835, in the year Haley’s Comet appeared (and died when it reappeared in 1910). (Dr. Haley saw the comet in 1682, as William Penn’s fleet crossed the sea headed for the new world.) Sam was twelve when his family moved to Hannibal, Marion Co., MO, on the Mississippi, where he worked for his older brother’s Hannibal Journal newspaper. Coincidentally, John Valentine Cox’s wife, Martha Howell, was also from Marion Co. (probably Hannibal) and their son, John W. Cox, was born in Monroe Co. and published a newspaper there. Samuel H. Cox (brother of John Valentine) had family in Hannibal and a sister, Mahala Cox Tinsley, living in Columbia, Adair Co., KY. Research carefully done proved this line is R1b1, that William Coxe, the 1610 immigrant to Jamestown, VA, was not my ancestor. Disclaimer Statement Some of the information in this book was obtained from others’ research found on the Internet and has not all been checked for accuracy. This is a work still in progress. Hopefully, a future version will be more comprehensive and will have more connections with the grandfather of Littleberry Cox.

GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX 5 GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX – PART I After eliminating several other John Coxes born about 1740, there were four theories in trying to identify the grandfather of Littleberry Cox. By covering each of these, perhaps we can rid ourselves of false information on Rootsweb that says Littleberry's mother was Mary Harlan, Sarah Oldham, Sarah Nunnally, Mary Ferguson, Mary Bryson, or Sally Tweedy now that recent Y-DNA technology is available. 1. THE FIRST THEORY for finding the grandfather of Littleberry Cox was based upon John Cox, father of Littleberry coming from Wales and settling in Campbell Co., VA, before the Revolution. A family Bible is preserved in the William E. Parham Papers, McClung Collection in the Lawson McGhee Library, Knoxville, Tennessee. It was passed down to Marie Cox Fahey Skinner, a descendent of William Cox and his wife, Sally Stembridge Cox. Maria Skinner donated the Bible to the library. The William Parham Collection:1 The following is a letter from Wm. Thomas Cox to Mrs. Minnie Martin, McKinney, TX, 1896: Dear Minnie, I [Dr. William Thomas Cox] expect I know more about our family than anyone now living (in 1896). It came originally from Wales and settled in Campbell County, Virginia, as I have heard my grandfather often tell. Of his father’s [my grandfather’s] family there were five sons: Thomas, Berry, Charles, William and James. Thomas was the only one old enough to serve in the Revolutionary War. He did enlist, served his time, came home, and one day being present when there was a draft for men, and when a poor neighbor was drafted, Tom could not bear the distress of the family, but stepped up and told the officer to put his name in his place, marched away and never returned. We read of Chevalier Bayard’s deed2 but it was never anything like this. The other members of the family emigrated to Wilson County, Tennessee, in 1808 but Berry, Sr., having acquaintences in Green County, Kentucky, moved on and settled there. I suppose you have heard of your grandfather’s people- Thomas, Billy, Anderson, John (my father) and Berry. There was a sister, my aunt Lucy.3 She and her children came to Texas many years ago and I think they are in Lano [Llano] or San Ano counties and some in New Mexico. The members of my family are all dead except myself and my youngest brother, Jordan B. Cox, at Franklin, St. Mary’s Parish, Louisiana. Henry, the brother next to me, served through the war, came home demoralized and ruined. He was murdered near his home near Homer, Louisiana. John, the next son, was a practising physician at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He was assassinated there some years ago [end of quote]. 1 Source for: Parham Genealogy This first letter of William Thomas Cox is invaluable because it prevents a lot of conjecture made from other sources. The children of Charles, William, Littleberry and James were first cousins of the father of William Thomas Cox. Their grandchildren were cousins of William Thomas Cox. 2 In chapter six, Chevalier Bayard is linked with Huguenots and Labadists of France and Holland as well as with Augustine Herman and Labadist settlements in New York, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. 3 Offspring of John Cox's son, William Cox

My great-grandfather [John Cox] settling in Campbell County, Virginia, prior to the Revolution.” So what was meant? Thomas Jefferson spoke six languages, and his family came originally from Wales and eventually settled in Albemarle County long after the original immigrant. From census records, one can surmise that Little-berry arrived in Kentucky, when a son, John, was born, in 1805 (age 45 in 1850).

GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX 7 Also preserved with the collection in Knoxville4 from Wm. Thomas Cox, June 30, 1898: Dear Arthur, In a letter I wrote to you a few days ago I promised to write again soon and tell you about our family. My cousin Henry C. Cox of Monterey, Putnam County, Tennessee had the old Family Bible and promised to send me a copy of the record, but has failed to do so. I hope he will fulfill his promise. We are of Welsh descent. My great-grandfather settling in Campbell County, Virginia, prior to the Revolution. I have often heard my grandfather say that the eldest son, Thomas Cox, the only one of his brothers old enough served out a term of enlistment in the Continental Army, came home and one day on going to a public gathering where men enlisted; and being moved by the distress of a family whose husband and father had been drafted, took the man's place and marched away-never to return. About the year 1808 the other sons, Berry Cox, Charles Cox, William Cox (my grandfather) and James Cox left Virginia where my father was born in 1797-and came to Wilson County, Tennessee near Lebanon. Berry Cox not liking Tennessee went over into Green County, Kentucky where no doubt many of his descendants are. William Cox (my grandfather) and Sally Stembridge his wife lived and died in Wilson County, Tennessee. She was a woman of strong character and well known in the country in her day. Superior to the old man, who was however a good man and a very religious farmer. They had seven children- Thomas, William, Lucy, Anderson, John (my father), Henry and Berry.5 They were all farm people. My father, John Cox, tho born in Virginia was raised on the old farm in Wilson County, Tennessee and married Elizabeth Palmer, my mother, the daughter of Isham Palmer, a farmer from Halifax County, Virginia. I have often heard my mother say she was born there. My grandfather and his brother Martin Palmer left Tennessee and came to Hinds County, Mississippi near what was called Edwards depor afterwards, lived and (end of quote). Much of the speculation I am making here is based upon what William meant by saying of the family, “It came originally from Wales and settled in Campbell County, Virginia”, and “We are of Welsh descent”. Thomas Jefferson spoke six languages, and his family came originally from Wales and eventually settled in Albemarle County long after the original immigrant. From census records, one can surmise that Littleberry arrived in Kentucky, when a son, John was born, in 1805. John was age 45 in the 1850 Census, which shows he was the first born in Ky. William and Berry are named as heirs of John Cox in Campbell County in 1821. In summary, here are the four generations down to William Thomas Cox who wrote the letters: John Cox (Littleberry’s father) v William Cox (Littleberry’s brother) v John Cox (Littleberry’s nephew) v William Thomas Cox Aunt Lucy Reese Cox 4 This second letter of William Thomas Cox is invaluable because it prevents a lot of conjecture made by other sources. The children of Charles, William, Littleberry and James were first cousins of the father of William Thomas Cox. Their grandchildren were cousins of William Thomas Cox. 5 Offspring of John Cox's son, William Cox

Death of William Cox, Son of Berry Cox in 1852, Casey Creek, Adair Co., KY At the Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort, KY, the following card was found stored in a drawer: Cox, William. Age –35 years. DEATHS Casey Place of birth-Green River. Place of death-Adair, Co Time of death-Oct 11, 1852 Cause of death-Typhoid Fever Parents-Berry & Maria Cox The Reese Connection William’s first letter says, “There was a sister, my aunt Lucy. She and her children came to Texas [from Wilson Co., TN] many years ago [before 1898] and I think they are in Lano [Llano] or San Ano counties and some in New Mexico.” This infers that her husband had died before this. Family tradition says Lucy Reese Cox married her first cousin, James Reese Cox. I suppose he could have been the son of Littleberry’s brother, James, who was in the 1810 census of Campbell Co., VA, living adjacent to William Farris, Erasmus Jones and Robert D. Nash. This James married neighbors, first Elizabeth Farris and, secondly, Judith Jones. In the 1820 census, John Cox was living adjacent to Robert Nash and Samuel Armistead. What happened to James in 1820? On 4-6-1820, Erasmus Jones (James’ father-in-law) bought 226 acres in Wilson Co., TN, from Robert Bumpus. On 1-29-1852, Judith (Jones) Cox received 50 acres adjacent to 100 acres of “James Cox now deceased”, conveyed to him by “Erasmus Jones now deceased”, in Cannon Co., TN. A Cox tradition in Orange County, Indiana says James’ brother, Charles Cox, married Elizabeth Reese. Surety at the wedding was Herod Reese. Littleberry’s brother, Charles Cox, married Elizabeth Reese and is often viewed as the father of James Reese Cox who married his cousin, Lucy Reese Cox, in Wilson Co., TN. They assume Charles’ brother, James Cox, not having a wife named Reese, would not have a son named James Reese Cox. But William Cox, not having a wife named Reese, had a daughter named Lucy Reese Cox. See the following chart on the common use of Reese.

GRANDFATHER OF LITTLEBERRY COX 10 TABLE 2. Cox and Reese Families in Hinshaw’s Quaker Encyclopedia Littleberry’s brother, William, married Sally Stembridge. Sally’s father, John Stembridge came to Virginia from England with two brothers, William and Thomas Baker Stembridge. Perhaps this indicates that Littleberry’s grandparents were also born in England. We also find these allied families in Wilson Co., Tennessee and Kentucky, where Littleberry’s family moved. Reese or Rees is Welsh.

These include Jeremiah the prophet coming to Ireland (west of Dublin) with a king’s daughter and a coronation stone. If so, this becomes a source for the “Jew-ish” J2 YDNA of the Cox, Cook & Cok family and supports the idea they came to the New World with the Rhys, Rees, Reese families. Another says Joseph of Arimathea (Ramah) and Christ’s mother came to Glastenbury, England, with the cup used during the Last Supper and the Holy Grail (the cup used to collect Christ’s blood at the cross) . Allegedly the legendary King Arthur pre-served these relics during the late fifth and early sixth centuries (See Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britannie written in 1138. Rootsweb/Family Trees has a John Cox born in Monmouth in about 1408.) Another version is that Mary Magdalene used a chalice or cup to collect Christ’s blood. Allegedly the Grail was transferred to Rome and then to Payne Peveril (Percival) and then to a chapel at Whittington Castle in Shropshire on the border of Wales. Allegedly it was again transferred to Alberbury Priory, and recovered by a descendant, Robert Vernon. l Robert Vernon and two brothers departed from Liverpool and arrived in Pennsylvania with William Penn, Joshua Morris and Thomas Wynne of Wales in 1682. y.html Robert Vernon’s son, Thomas, migrated to the Cub Creek Settlement in Charlotte Co., Virginia. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgibin/igm.cgi?op GET&db monkeys&id I24896 The Vernons & Maddock sisters, neighbors of a John Cox in Pennsylvannia, also came from Cheshire, Eng. 1722 Hugh Rees 1729 Priscilla Rees 1732 Isham Rees 1742 Hugh Reese m: Mary J.
