Cox is an Anglo-American name. I just recently (January 1999) learned of my connection to the Cox family and the Redwine family of Georgia and Mississippi thanks to Bobbie Lou Bridges who is also a descendant of James and Cynthia (Redwine) O'Kelly. The Redwines intermarried frequently with the Ballinger, Sartain, Bond, Wade, and other families of Georgia and Mississippi, so it is no wonder that I found this connection to the Redwines. My Garvins and O'Kellys lived in Madison County, Georgia and in Yalobusha County, Mississippi near the Redwines and these other families mentioned above. Many thanks also to Imogene Bennett, Tex Dick, and Nancy Guest for sharing what they know about the Redwine families.
Another possibility of a COX family connection comes through my BOND family which lived in the same vicinity as the Redwines in Georgia and Mississippi. One of my ancestors in the BOND family is Richard COX Bond, Sr., b. ca. 1760 Amherst Co., VA, d. 31 Jan. 1837 Franklin Co., GA; md. 15 May 1783 Amherst Co., VA to Susannah MAYS, b. ca. 1763 Amherst Co., VA, d. 6 Nov. 1843 Cobb Co., GA. He was a Revolutionary War patriot. I have yet to find out where he received the middle name of COX.
Here is my COX lineage as far as can be determined:

An online genealogy forum for posting queries has also been set up specifically for the COX family. It can be found at the following address:
***Note***During the Fall of 1998, GenForum combined with Family Tree Maker, which means that all queries and information posted to that site becomes the property of Family Tree Maker. This is still a good site to look up information and get contact names for the COX lines you are searching, but be advised that if you now post a new query or a response to something on that site, chances are that sometime in the future Family Tree Maker will include that information on a CD-ROM which they will sell for profit to anyone who is interested. I do not like the idea of someone else using my hard researched information and ideas and selling them for a profit without my knowledge. This same practice is evident on all of the Family Tree Maker pages which are found on the internet, if you will read the disclaimer notices on those pages. I recommend the Family Tree Maker pages as good look up pages, but I don't recommend posting information there. Similar things can be said for Ancestry.com and MyFamily.com which are connected to each other and seek to make a profit from genealogical materials on the internet.
