The Cox Family

Morristown Gazette. 5 Dec 1922.

Before I follow the journey of Pearl Cox Jones' world-traveling sister, I'm going to set the stage with an overview of the Cox family. Pearl was born to Nicholas N. Cox and Julia Rebecca Noe. Nicholas and Rebecca had at least the following children:

- Bessie B. Cox, 1883-1977

- Frank Wilson Cox, 1885-1958

- Pearl Cox, 1887-1956

- Claude Cox, 1890-1975

- Robert L. Cox, 1893-1991

- Dana Gass Cox, 1896-1978

- Mary Isabelle Cox, 1897-1996

- Eunice Cox, 1900-1953

- Ruth Anna Cox, 1903-1980

- George Earnest Cox, 1905-1976

- Grace Cox, 1906-1914

Nicholas passed away on 27 November 1922. Julia passed away on 12 April 1941.

The story now shifts to Pearl's younger sister, Mary Isabelle.
