  • Name David Sutton Cox 
    Born 1792 
    Gender Male 
    Died 1850 
    Notes 
    • Description: Is it possible that Dad Cox is actually David Sutton Cox (1792-1850) who married Hannah Tharp (1797-1873)? I think David was the son of Phillip (1763-1854) and Christiana Steele (1754-1856). I have not been able to find a grave for David Sutton, but I believe he died in Gilmer WV.

    Notes 

    • I did find this marriage that fits in with Philip David's (born 1819) birth, and the fact that he had Hannah living with him in 1850 and Catherine had her with her even longer.

      Her name on this marriage record is hard to decipher. Looks more like Eacih.
      [widow of John Eslick, who was a brother of Elizabeth, David's first wife]

      This 1820 fits OK.

      But this 1840 doesn't fit so well. Phillip is not here - although at 21 he may have been elsewhere, but Hannah is in the wrong box - could be a mistake.
