Directory of Histories
There is room for histories here. Beginning with the children of Jonathan Upham Cox and their wives, the histories of the grand children and great grandchildren can also be put here. Also histories put in the notes on the Family Tree are linked to names in the families here.
Note on Cox Family Bulletin publications.
In 1957 O C Day published the Orville S Cox Genealogy Bulletin, containing descendants of Orville interspersed with historical vignettes. (The descendants are here in the Family Tree link, but I note some of the vignettes need to be printed here.)
The next year he published Elvira Mills Cox history as Cox Bulletin 2. This is found here under Elvira in the O S Cox Family Histories
I think he published Early Manti the next year, 1959, but no name, date or publisher are noted on the pamphlet. This is published in the Interesting Things link.
In 1961 I began publishing the Cox Family Bulletin, not realizing what O C Day had published. He and I worked together to get the years of research he had done printed and distributed. It was about that time that the Church requested 4 generations of family group sheets. I printed the family group sheets of Orville and all his children over about 8 years. I included histories of Orville, his wives and his children (a couple of histories could not be obtained) on the backs of these sheets. If you look at the collection of Family Group Sheets in the church archives now, you will find many identical copies of Orville's family groups filed together, each with a different submitter's name.
I also printed pedigree charts, including 2 lines back to Adam, and family group sheets for many generations of our ancestors. O C Day included research notes on many of those sheets, which are now in the notes in Family Tree.
The stories I printed in those Cox Family Bulletins are now on this web site. The genealogy, including birth and death notices from those bulletins are in the Family Tree part of the web site.
Here are some family histories I am aware of. Please help me to complete my list.
