  Bill Mitchell writes:

  In the 1870 census, on the original document it shows Isa but it looks just like Icy without the tail on the "y". I'm almost postitive these are my great-great grandparents of Calvin Cox and his wife Ann or Anna or Annie with their daughter Icy. The ages are exactly right and we know Icy was an only child of this marriage. She married John Wesley Mitchell Sept. 8, 1887.

  Bill Mitchell writes:

  In the 1880 census, if you look at the original version it shows Nanna Cox as being N Anna. I'm not sure what the N is for. Also the child is an "I" which I think stands for Icy.
