Notes

From [Andi Harmon, Irish Quaker Immigration into Pennsylvania]: "A meeting was held at the house of William Cox, at Hockessin, in Mill Creek Hundred, in New Castle Co., as early as 1730, but was not regularly established until 1737. The meeting received the name of Hockessin from an Indian village formerly near the place. Among the first settlers were John Baldwin, William Cox, and the Irish Friends, Henry and John Dixon. In 1738, a meeting-house was built, and enlarged in 1745." On 2m-3-1753 (Apr 3, 1753), he was recorded has having migrated frmo the Newark MM, Kennett Co., Pa to Cane Creek MM, in Orange Co., North Carolina. In Cane Creek records are other Coxs, that are likely his brothers. These include (with wife's name): Benjamin & Martha Cox, and Thomas & Mary Cox, and Isaac & Phebe (Allen) Cox. !Will: Dated 20-1mo-1767 (= 20 Mar 1768), proved in Feb Court, 1767 (1767/8). Gives Harmon Cox "that whole tract of land on the east side of Deep River, whereon he now lives".
