The following recapitulative tables of records on the
Coxes in Wayne County, Ohio, contain quite a few inconsistencies in spelling,
and some errors in birth dates, notably for our great-aunt Lizzie, listed
here as "Celesta E. Cox." In fact, Celestial Elizabeth
Cox was born 06 February 1880, not March. Census records correctly
give her birthdate as 06 February 1880.
As for her father, our great-grandfather, William Newton
Cox, the list below provides several choices in abbrevations: either W.A.,
W.N., Wm. N., or W.S. Needless to say, they all are
the same individual: William Newton Cox, born circa 1845 in Wayne County,
Ohio. Caroline Broadback, his first wife, and their two daughters
are included in the tables below. Ellen Loretta Adams, his second
wife, and their first three children are also included. This corroborates
the theory that the family left Ohio for Kansas and Indian Territory after
the birth of Celestial and after the census of 1880 was conducted.
Warning: This table contains several
inaccuracies!
