This is an update to my 8/1/98 query re: J. D. RAY (aka Danuel, Daniel, or David RAY) b. ca 1825 and wife Sarah ROBBINS/ROBINS b. ca 1829, who lived in Wood Co. TX from about 1850 until after the Civil War. Please refer to the original post for details about their children. J.D. Ray's full name was Jones Daniel RAY. He received a land grant in Wood Co. next to a land grant for George RAY. Jones "Daniel" RAY and George RAY were both born in NC about 1825, married wives from AL, and settled next to each other in Wood Co., TX at the same time.

Seeking information on Israel COX (b. about 1810, SC) and his descendants. Israel COX appears in the 1860 Wood County census, but I can't find anything else for him after that date. They may have lived in the Springville area of Wood County. He and his wife, Elizabeth (HUDGINS) COX (b. 1819, Winchester, Franklin CO., TN, d. ?) were married in 1836 in Bellefonte, Jackson Co., AL. In 1854, they moved to Tarrant County along with Elizabeth's brother, El Nathan HUDGINS, a Methodist minister, and his family. Israel COX was also a Methodist minister, having been involved with the Wills Valley mission in Alabama. They had moved to Wood County from Tarrant County some time between 1859 and 1860. One of their sons, James William COX, told a grandchild that after the Civil War, he (James) took his younger brother Samuel and they wandered the countryside, surviving as well as they could. Thus, I assume that both of their parents had died during the war. I would very much like to know when they died and where they are buried. Israel and Elizabeth's children were as follows: John B. COX - (b. abt. 1837 in Jackson Co., AL, m. Elizabeth BRUDIN in 1859, m. Clearacy ? bef. 1868, d. ?). John's children, as listed in the 1870 Wood Co. census, were John (female??! says the census-taker! b. abt. 1863) and Leander (male, b. abt. 1868). Delila E. COX - (b. abt. 1838 in Jackson Co., AL, m. Samuel L. COOK/COOKE in 1860, d. ?). On the 1870 Wood Co. census, Delilah's and Samuel's children were S. R. (female b. abt. 1862), J. R. (male, b. abt. 1864), and M. J. (female, b. abt. 1868). Martha COX - (b. abt. 1843 in Jackson Co., AL, m. Alfred WALDRIP in 1860, d. ?). According to the 1870 Van Zandt Co. census, where Martha and Alfred were living, they had one child, William N. WALDRIP. Mary Ann COX - (b. abt. 1845 in MS, m. Robert K. BRISCOE in 1860, d. ?). No further info on this couple. Harriet Elizabeth COX - (b. abt. 1848 in MS, m. Samuel PROCTOR in 1867, d. ?). No further info on this couple. Thomas Jesse COX - (b. abt 1853 in Arkansas, m. Amanda SANDERS in 1873, d. ?). James William COX (my great-grandfather) - (b. 1854 in Grapevine, TX, m. Elizabeth Cordelia VINCENT in 881 in Emory, TX, d. 1952 in San Angelo, TX). James' and Eliza's children were John Alfred COX, Byrd COX, Mamie COX, Annie Leona COX, Irene COX, and Rose COX. Samuel COX - (b. abt 1858 in Grapevine, TX, d. 1941 in Fort Worth, Texas).
