Bartholomew Cox was born about 1665 probably Henrico County, Virginia. He was the son of John Cox, Senior and first wife whose name is unknown.
He wrote his will in Goochland County, Virginia on 14 January 1730/1. He named grandson George, 1 shilling; grandson William Baugh, 1 shilling; son Meridith Cox, son John Cox [II] and his wife Rebeckah to be executors. No probate date. He may have had a son Frederick, but our line of descent in the Cox family is through his son John Cox [II].From Margaret L. Smith, 3209 Reba Drive, Houston, Texas, 77019, May 1998:
First Generation
William Coxe was born in 1598 in England, and was 12 years old when he came to Virginia in 1610. He arrived in the Godspeed on June 10, 1610, in the party of Thomas West, Third Lord De La Warr. He may have been a brother of Elizabeth Coxe, daughter of Sir Henry Coxe of Broxburn, Herfordshire, who was married to Robert West, brother of Lord De La Warr. When the muster was taken in February 1624/25, he was listed as William Coxe, age 26, at Elizabeth City, with Thomas Bouldinge. On Sept. 20, 1628, because he qualified as an "ancient planter" - that is, one who had been in the colony before April 1616, the time of departure of Sir Thomas Dale - he was granted a ten-year lease for 100 acres. This land granted to William Coxe, Planter, was located "within the precincts of Elizabeth City...bounded on the south by the maine [James] river."
On Nov. 29, 1636, William Coxe received a patent for 150 acres in Henrico County, for the transportation of three persons into the colony. This tract was also located on the James River, further west, and was about 2 miles northwest of "Harroe Attocks" (Arrowhattocks). On Oct. 29, 1637, he received a patent for 150 more acres in the same location, for three more headrights.
William Coxe and his wife, Elizabeth, made at least one return trip to England, and in 1637 were claimed by Mathew Edloe as headrights. Mathew Edloe, his mother Alice Edloe, and sister Hannah Boyes were all neighbors of William Coxe, owning property adjoining his in Henrico County. Sometime before Dec. 14, 1656, William Coxe and his wife had both died, for on that date, Peter Lee patented 126 acres in Henrico County adjoining the land belonging to the "orphans of William Coxe," and lying on the main (James) river and northeast of the land of Isaac Hutchins. (There is an unreferenced family chart which shows that William Coxe's wife was Elizabeth Hutchins, and it also names their four children.)
The children of William and Elizabeth Coxe:
1. Thomas - inherited as "son and heir" a right to 250 acres sold on Sept. 1, 1642, by Matthew Gough to William Cox and Isaac Hutchins, and assigned this interest to John Knowles on Aug. 1, 1668.
2. John [I] - married twice and had six children. He died in 1696.
3. Elizabeth - married Robert Porter.
4. Mary - married John Burton.After the first generation, the name was spelled "Cox."
Second Generation
John Cox [I], on March 29, 1665, patented 550 acres of land in Henrico County on the north side of the James River, known by the name of "Harristocks" (Arrowhattocks), adjoining the land of Capt. Edloe. This must also have joined the land formerly owned by William Coxe, and then by his orphans. These land records have been accepted as evidence that John Cox [I] was a son of William Coxe.
John Cox [I] was probably born in Virginia around 1620. There was a Jon Cox who was listed as a headright of John Davis in Oct. 1642. It that was this same person, then he may have travelled to England and returned. John Davis had land which adjoined the land of William Coxe and Isaac Hutchins in 1638. He also was a witness to John Cox [I]'s will in 1696.
John Cox [I] was married twice. His first wife may have been a daughter of Robert Craddock, a neighboring landowner. Robert Craddock had, at some time, sold 600 acres to John Cox [I], which John Cox [I] transferred to John Burton on March 22, 1665. John Burton was his brother-in-law, husband of his sister Mary. John Cox [I] had six sons, and his first wife was the mother of the first five. He made several gifts to them by deed during his lifetime. On Feb. 5, 1685 [1686?], he gave one tract of land to his son William. On July 11, 1693, he gave 100 acres to Bartholomew.
John Cox [I]'s second wife was Mary Kennon, whom he married Sept. 25, 1682. In his will, dated Feb. 19, 1691/92, John Cox [I] named his wife Mary and his six sons. He left land, slaves, and personal property to his sons, but only one silver spoon to his wife. He died, and his will was proved Feb. 1, 1696/97, in Henrico County. That same day, his widow filed a suit against five of the sons (all except Richard), for her dower in the 550 acres of land which he had patented in 1665.
The children of John Cox [I] (the correct order of birth is unknown):
1. William - born before Feb. 1664/65. He married Sarah (-). They had seven children. He held 300 acres on the 1704 quit rent roll of Henrico County. His will was probated in Henrico County in June 1712. His widow's will was probated in Goochland County in Jan. 1747/48.
2. Bartholomew - born about 1665 in Henrico County, married Rebecca (-) before Oct. 2, 1693. They had five children. He held 100 acres in Henrico County in 1704. He died in 1731 in Goochland County, and his will was proved there in June 1731.
3. Henry - was left the home plantation and much personal property by his father. He had no children. His will was probated Oct. 1, 1697, in Henrico County.
4. John - married Mary Baugh, daughter of William and Jane Hatcher Baugh. They had three children. He held 150 acres in Henrico County in 1704. His will was probated Jan. 1, 1710/11, in Henrico County. His son, William Cox "the younger," married about 1710 Sarah Cocke, daughter of William Cocke. They had one son, John Cox of Bluestone Creek.
5. George - married Martha Stratton, daughter of Edward Stratton, Jr., and his wife, Martha Sheppey, Oct. 22, 1697. They had four children. He held 200 acres in Henrico County in 1704. His will, dated April 18, 1721, was probated Feb. 5, 1722 [1723?], in Henrico County.
6. Richard (probably the son of Mary Kennon, John Cox [I]'s second wife) - married by Jan. 8, 1700/01, Mary Trent, daughter of Henry Trent and his wife, Elizabeth Sherman. They had eight children. He held 300 acres in Henrico County in 1704. His will was probated Feb. 3, 1734/35, in Henrico County.From Kentucky Family Records, Volume 2, Mrs. Edgar L. Cox (editor), page 61 ("Early Virginia Ancestors of our Cox Family and Their Colonial Cousins," compiled by Mrs. David O. Reichlein, submitted by Mrs. Opal Cox Avant):
Matthew Edloe who had land that was next to land of William Cox in Henrico Co., brought 24 servants into the Colony and received 50 acres of land for himself and for each of the 24 servants. This made it an easy way for people to get free passage to the Colony. Thus one can find in the records that the wealthiest men in the Colony did bring in people to get 50 acres of land for each one. Indentured servants were those who had to work for their masters seven years, room and board, but no pay.
When his time was up, his master had to provide him with a new suit of clothing and tools. The government gave him 50 acres of land. Some of the finest men came over that way, as many of the prominent families of England sent their younger sons, for their law in England of primogeniture favored the first son.
England's claim to possession of territory in the New World was based upon John Cabot's success in 1497 of being the first to reach the mainland of America. It was not until almost one hundred years later that their first attempt at an English settlement was started in America. Queen Elizabeth in 1583 gave Sir Humphrey Gilbert a proprietary patent to go forth and settle the New World. The project was a hopeless defeat and ended in Gilbert's death. Then Queen Elizabeth passed the patent on to Sir Walter Raleigh, half-brother of Sir Gilbert; again efforts to establish a colony were a failure, but Roanoke Island achieved fame as the birthplace of Virginia Dare in 1587 - the first white child of English parents born in the New World.
After King James of Scotland mounted the English throne, he gave his approval for attempts to be made to colonize the New World, and granted charters to the newly organized London Company. The London Company offered each subscriber who would pay twelve pounds and twelve shillings the following: "Lord of 200 acres of land which would be given to him and his heirs forever." Several members of the Bailey family held large shares in this company. The fact that Temperance Bailey, at age 3, had 200 acres of land in her name, might have been her inheritance from her deceased father. Patent to Temperance Bailey, Sept. 20, 1620. The land of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, on the south side of the James River, bordered that of Samuel Jordan, Temperance Baley (Bailey), and Capt. Woodlief in 1620.
It was late in December 1606 when the first charter was signed and three little ships left port for America. They were the Susan Constant, the Godspeed - on which William Cox came to America - and the Discovery, commanded by Capt. Newport. On board these three ships were 150 adventurers. On May 6, 1607, they entered Chesapeake Bay, and eight days later decided that the big peninsula off the River they had named "James" for King James would make a suitable place to live, and they called it "Jamestown." One hundred and five remained when the boats departed for England.
After reaching America the working contracts were opened and it was then that the colonists found that the London Company had imposed a serious handicap on them, directing that "all should work for a common store." The majority of the colonists were of the "gentlemen" type; only a few of the people knew the meaning of work. For this reason, the Colony did not prosper at the beginning.
In 1609 after a tempestuous voyage, Sir Thomas Gates arrived and found the Colony in a deplorable condition. At this point he gave each man five acres of his own. A constant menace were disease, starvation, and massacres by the Indians, which eventually reduced the number to 60 people. In desperation, Sir Gates and the colonists started to return to England, but a short distance out, they met Lord Baltimore with 500 people and provisions. With renewed courage and perseverance, they worked together to make this a permanent settlement.
Before explaining who the settlers were prior to 1700, we give this background history as to the difficulties and hardships in the establishment of the Jamestown Colony. From this sturdy stock we descend.
The earliest and most successful colony under the Crown was Virginia. The 20 shilling per 100 acres reserved by the London Company in 1618 did not become payable until 1625, a year after the Colony came under Royal control. No exemptions, no special rates allowed; even the Indians were obligated to render some small acknowledgement for their lands.
The Assembly in Virginia placed all expenditures of the collected quit rents under its own direction, and provided that payments be made in tobacco at 3 pence per pound. In 1662, the payments in tobacco were at the rate of 2 shillings per pound.
The quit rent system of the American colonies was that the Corporations held their lands of the King by a kind of tenure, and no rent was demanded by their charters, because the latter were in origin instruments of trading companies and not of feudal lords.
The following is a list of the Quit Rent, April 1705, Henrico County, of the five sons of John Cox [I] of Dutch Gap, Coxendale or Harroeattocks:
John Cox, Jr. - 150 acres.
William Cox - 300 acres.
George Cox - 200 acres.
Richard Cox - 300 acres.
Bartholomew Cox - 100 acres.
The first Cox in our family appears to have been William Cox, Planter, who came to Virginia before 1628, and could have been the same William Cox, age 26, who came over in the Godspeed. A land grant of 150 to William Cox, Oct. 29, 1637 in Henrico County, about 2 miles above Harrow Attocks, was granted for transportation of three persons, one of which was Richard Byrd. William Cox appears to have purchased additional land adjoining this patent and owned land on both sides of the James River: Coxendale on one side, and Dutch Gap on the other side. William Cox acquired by lease 100 acres of land in Elizabeth City on Sept. 20, 1624.
In 1637, William Cox, Elizabeth & ux, were among headright to Matthew Edloe on their return from England on July 12, 1637. William Cox died before 1656, for on Dec. 14, 1656, Peter Lee was granted 126 acres of land in Henrico County which adjoined "the land belonging to the orphans of William Cox." Orphans of William appear to have been Thomas Cox and John Cox [I].
Thomas Cox appears to have moved to New Kent County, for on June 8, 1658, in a land grant to George Austin, reference is made to land surveyed for Thomas Cox in New Kent County. Thomas Cox appears to have left a son, William Cox, who is listed in the Quit Rent Roll, 1704, in New Kent County, as owning 150 acres of land. It would appear that Thomas sold the land inherited from his father, William Cox, to John Knowles, for reference is made in a granted beginning at a corner of Peter Lee to "land he purchased of Thomas Cox."
John Cox [I] who seems to have settled on James River near Harrowattocks the latter part of Oct. 1642 was probably a son of William Cox. On March 29, 1665, 550 acres of land was granted to Arthur Bayley (Bailey) next to land of Capt. Edloe, that Arthur Bayley sold to William Johnson, and William Johnson assigned this 550 acres to John Cox [I], also known as John Cox of Harrow Attocks. Thus, it might be assumed that the first wife of John Cox [I] might have been a daughter of William Johnson and the mother of his children. John Cox [I] married second Mary Kennon, Sept. 25, 1682.
William Elam's will, 1688, gives to "son-in-law" John Cox [I] one shilling. The rest to cousin Martin Elam. It is felt that William Elam married the widow of William Cox, who was either the mother or step-mother of John Cox [I], thus John Cox [I] was the step-son of William Elam instead of son-in-law.
In Feb. 1685/86, John Cox [I] of the 1679 Tithe List conveyed 300 acres to son William Cox the elder, and 150 acres to son John Cox, Jr. In 1679, John Cox [I] had five tithes, meaning that he had at lest four sons at age 21 and over, and was known as John Cox of Coxendale, the name of his home.
Will of John Cox [I], Book 2, page 678, Henrico County, Feb. 19, 1691/92, proved 1696, resided at Dutch Gap on the James. Witnesses: John Ironmonger, Thomas Taylor, and John Davis. Mentions wife Mary, gave her a silver spoon, and six sons: John, Jr., William, George, Richard, Bartholomew, and Henry.
Widow Mary Cox demanded her one-third share of her deceased husband's estate; through her attorney Bartholomew Fowler, the case of her dower right in 550 acres, brought suit against the six step-sons for £100 sterling. Real and personal estate of John Cox [I] to be divided equally among six sons, with son George Cox as his executor.
The six sons of John Cox [I] of Coxendale on James River were:
1. John Cox, Jr. was given 150 acres of land by his father called "New Plantation" on Gardiner's Creek and Jarret's Spring adjoining land of brother William and Bartholomew Cox, bounded on Capt. Davis' land. John Cox, Jr. married Mary Baugh before 1685, daughter of William Baugh, Jr. and wife Jane (Hatcher) Branch Baugh Gower.
2. William Cox, the elder, was given 300 acres of land, Deed Book 1, page 364, April 1, 1686, Henrico County, by his father, John Cox [I]: "land adjacent to Thomas Taylor," including a boat landing on James River up toward Culres. William Cox the elder has been confused with his nephew, William Cox the younger. William Cox the younger married Sarah Cocke, daughter of William Cocke; and William Cox the elder had wife Sarah (-) also, thought to have been a Sarah Cocke. (There is a marriage record of a William Cocke to Sarah Dennis, also, a statement that William Cox married Sarah Dennis. It is possible that both statements are correct.)
3. George Cox was left the plantation on which his father, John Cox [I], lived in Henrico County at Harroeattocks. George Cox married Oct. 20, 1697, Martha Stratton, daughter of Edward Stratton, Jr., and his wife, Martha Sheppy. Edward Stratton, Jr. died 1698 and his widow Martha (Sheppy) Stratton married second husband John Brown of Henrico County. George Cox died in Henrico County in 1720, leaving a will probated Feb. 1721. He had four children.
4. Richard Cox married Mary Trent, daughter of Henry Trent and wife Elizabeth Sherman. He left will dated July 13, 1734, probated Feb. 3, 1734/35, Henrico County, witnesses: Michael Turpin, Benjamin Burton, Sr. and Jr. Will of widow Mary (Trent) Cox is in Henrico County, 1735.
5. Bartholomew Cox, born before 1665. On Oct. 2, 1693, Bartholomew was given 100 acres of land by his father, John Cox [I]. Prior to 1693, he had married Rebecca (-), when he was given the land "that Bartholomew lives on" by his father, bounded by Capt. Davis' land. Bartholomew Cox patented 200 acres, Oct. 20, 1697, on Mahook Creek, which land was passed on in his family. Later this land was in Powhatan County. Bartholomew Cox died 1731 in Goochland County, leaving a will in Will Book A, page 215. Children of Bartholomew Cox and wife Rebecca (-) included:
A. George Cox married Martha Walton, daughter of Thomas Walton. George Cox left a will in Goochland County in Will Book 1, page 3, May 21, 1728, witnesses by Frederick Cox, his brother, and Henry Wood, husband of his cousin Martha Cox.
B. Frederick Cox married Elizabeth (-); left will dated May 4, 1754, probated Jan. 27, 1754/55, Cumberland Co., VA, in Will Book 1, page 90.
C. daughter, married Mr. Baugh and had a son, William Baugh, who was listed in the will of his grandfather, Bartholomew Cox.
D. John Cox [II] of Finneywood in Lunenburg County, was a neighbor to his cousin John Cox of Bluestone Creek, Mecklenburg County. John Cox married Mary (-). He was an old man in 1735, died ca. 1765 in Lunenburg County, leaving will in Will Book 2, page 232, Lunenburg County, dated July 16, 1764, proved 1766. Witness: Thomas Taylor. Children of John and Mary (-) Cox were:

vi. Edith Cox married Joseph Minor.
vii. Mary Cox married Micajah Smithson.

Cox Family of Virginia
In the list of "Adventurers," as they were styled in the Charters of the Virginia Companies, 1609 and 1620, the name is spelled Cock, Cocks, Cox, Coxe (Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 3, page 282). William Coxe, aged 26, came over in the Godspeed in 1610. It is most likely that this is the same William Cox whom Governor West granted 100 acres of land in Elizabeth County [City?], Virginia, Sept. 28, 1628 (Land Book I, page 89, Richmond, Virginia); also to whom Gov. John West, under date of Nov. 29, 1636, granted "one hundred and fifty acres of land, situate and being in the County of Henrico, about three miles and a half above Harrowattocks, west and by north upon main river, westerly upon the great Swamp, easterly into the woods, southerly towards Harrowattocks," for the transportation of three heads into the Colony, viz: Thomas Braxton, Richard Bird, and Richard Hewes (Land Book I, page 403). Also to whom Gov. John Harvey, under date Oct. 29, 1637, granted "one hundred fifty acres of land situate, lying and being in the County of Henrico, about three miles and a half above Harrowattocks," for the transportation of three persons into the Colony at his own expense; names of persons not found (Land Book I, page 492). (See Cox notes by Mrs. E.F. O'Gorman, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 38, pages 157-159.)
John Cox [I] came from England with John Davis the latter part of Oct. 1642, and settled in Henrico County on James River near Harrowattocks. (See Patent Book I, Volume II, page 842, Richmond Land Office.) It is likely that he was closely related to William Coxe, above, probably son, as they settled in the same vicinity. The next record we have of John Cox [I] is a deposition of April 1, 1678, of John Barnfield as to "John Risbees' dog killing Mr. John Coxe's sheep." At a Court held at Varina, June 1, 1678-79 [?], showing that John Cox, Sen., was responsible for the poll taxes of five persons. In Deed Book I, page 364, there is a deed of gift, dated Feb. 5, 1685, from John Cox, Sen., of "Harryaddocks, Planter," to his son William Cox, which deed is witnessed by Bartholomew Cox.
John Cox [I]'s first marriage must have taken place as early as 1650, as his son, Bartholomew Cox, witnessed a deed of gift from John Cox [I] to his son William in 1685. Both William and Bartholomew must have been at least 21 years of age at that time. John Cox [I] must have been born as early as 1620. He left a will dated Feb. 19, 1691/92, which was probated Feb. 1, 1696 [1697?], of record in Book V, page 678, Henrico Co., VA, which the following is an abstract:To son John Cox plantation called by name "New Plantation." To Bartholomew Cox plantation "he now lives on"; to son Richard Cox a negro; to son Henry Cox "plantation I now live on" and a great deal of personal property; to wife, Mary Cox, one silver spoon. Balance of property to be equally divided between my six sons: John Cox, William Cox, Henry Cox, George Cox, Richard Cox, and Bartholomew Cox. Appoints son, George Cox, executor. Witnesses: John Ironmnger, Tho. Taylor, and John Davis.
In Voume I, page 225, Henrico County, is this record: "John Cox, Gent., for Marriage with Mary Kennon, Sept. 25, 1682." It is probable that she was a daughter of William Elam, whose will, dated Feb. 18, 1688 [1689], leaves his son-in-law, John Cox [I], 1 shilling, rest to cousin Martin Elam. William Elam seems to have borne no love towards John Cox [I]. Had any of John [I]'s children been grandchildren of William Elam, it seems that he would have remembered them in his will, instead of leaving practically all of his estate to his cousin. These facts would indicate that the mother of John Cox [I]'s children was not the daughter of William Elam, but that it was his last wife who was his daughter.
Bartholomew Cox, born ca. 1665, in Henrico Co., VA; died (will dated Jan. 14, 1730/31, of record in Goochland Co., VA, Will Book I, page 262). He appointed his wife, Rebeckah, sole executrix, and devised property to his grandsons George Cox and William Baugh; sons Frederick Cox and John Cox [II]. His will was witnessed by Anthony Morgan, Agnes Noulin, and Rebecca Wood. On June 13, 1709, license was granted Moses Wood to marry Mary, daughter of Bartholomew Cox. It is probable that she died without issue, prior to 1730.
In Book 6, page 439, Henrico County records, is a deed dated Oct. 2, 1693, as follows: "Know all men by these presents that I, John Cox, Sen. of the County and Parish of Henrico, planter, doe out of the love and affection for which I bear unto my son Bartholomew Cox and Rebecka his wife, and for ye advancement and promotion of their son George, have given, granted, aliened, assigned, and sett over and by these presents doe freely, clearly, and absolutely give, grant, alien, assign and set over unto my sd. Grandson, George Cox, ye son of Bartholomew Cox and Rebecka his wife, one Negro girl called Doll, being about a year old, to have and to hold the sd. girl and the issue of her body forever. As witness my hand this eleventh July, 1693." Signed: John Cox [I]. Witnesses: Henry Cox, Ja: Cocke.
In Book 5, page 437, Henrico County, there is a deed of gift from John Cox [I] to his son Bartholomew Cox, dated July 11, 1693, in part as follows: "This indenture, made this eleventh day of July in ye fifth year of ye Reign of our Sovereign, Lord and Lady, William and Mary, by the Grace of God of England of France and Ireland, King and Queen defenders of ye faith, etc., and in the year of our Lord God, 1693, between John Cox, Sen., of ye county and parish of Henrico, planter of one part and his son Bartholomew Cox, and for ye better living of him in this world as well as for divers other good causes and considerations," etc., doth grant him 100 acres therein described, etc.
