Or was it strictly by simple issue of license? http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2015/06/21/marriage-banns-marriage-bonds-and#c21331 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:15:55 +0000 Jan Lawson [Visitor] c19248@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ Can anyone tell me who became the guardian of Christopher Randolph Cox, upon the death of his mother, Harriet Hite (Reese) Cox/Erwin, in 1840 (Christopher would have only been 12 yrs. old at the time of her death)? I know his stepfather Thomas Rivers Erwin was alive and so were his grandparents Joseph and Margaret (Bowman) Reese. http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2015/03/10/christopher-greenup-cox-a-pioneer#c19248 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:25:14 +0000 Owen Beeler...grt.grt.grandson.to Owen b cecil [Visitor] c11065@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ I really enjoyed this article...i am tracking my heritage.overton young .brother in law to Owen benetic cecil.death 1860 sandy point tx.trying to find out how died. which brozoria cty.library should I start with ???

Austin's Register of Families, Christopher G. Cox, age 27, a doctor by profession, brought his wife Harriet H., age 24, their son, and one other dependent (possibly a slave), from Tennessee to Texas, arriving in February 1830. The family constituted Register entry 269. Entry 268 in the Register was the family of Joseph Rees. Joseph, age 46, a farmer from Tennessee, was accompanied by his wife, Margaret, four sons, two daughters, and nine other dependents. The Rees family also arrived in February 1830, and like Christopher G. Cox, Joseph Rees took the oath of allegiance on March 15, 1830 (the coincidental dates indicate the two families likely traveled together). Brazoria County deed records (Book D Volume 2 Pages 291-293) indicate that Christopher Randolph Cox at the time of the June 29, 1840, partition of the estate of Christopher G. Cox was "the only surviving child of the said Harriett [H. Erwin] and the said Christopher G. Cox, deceased." The same record notes the death of Harriett Caroline Cox since the death of her father, Christopher G. Cox. Among property awarded to Christopher Randolph Cox in the partition of the estate is Labor Number 14 in Brazoria County, which Christopher G. Cox had purchased from Francis and Martha Wells and was conveyed by them to the heirs on 9 November 1839. http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2015/03/10/christopher-greenup-cox-a-pioneer#c10819 Tue, 30 May 2017 19:56:44 +0000 Becky [Visitor] c10805@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ I hate Dow with a passion. http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2012/11/21/to-be-demolished#c10805 Tue, 30 May 2017 01:13:07 +0000 Jan Lawson [Visitor] c10799@http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/ When land was transferred in 1839 to the Cox heirs, was Peyton R. Cox included? Also, do you know if Peyton R. Cox was included as an heir in the settlement of the estate of Joseph and Margaret (Bowman) Reese (1845/1850)? The only children of Harriet Hite (Reese) Cox/Erwin I've seen mentioned were Christopher R. Cox, Thomas R. Erwin and Harriet Erwin. Peyton R. Cox was cited as an heir in 1842 Equity case in Warren Co., KY. regarding the Estate of his grandfather Phineas Cox (Christopher Randolph Cox was not included). I found a guardianship bond in Warren Co., KY. for Peyton R. Cox by his uncle, James Frederick Cox, dated 4/25/1845. Peyton was also included, as as heir of Phineas Cox, in deed for sale of 3 tracts of land in Warren Co., KY. dated 9/13/1845. Makes me wonder if Peyton was a son of Harriet Hite (Reese) Cox/Erwin why he apparently remained in Warren Co., KY.??????? http://history.brazoriaresearch.com/2015/03/10/christopher-greenup-cox-a-pioneer#c10799 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 04:25:25 +0000 Adam E.
