Wade,

I can see you need some more Cox info. I am attaching a genealogy report for
a few generations. These people can mostly be verified in the wills of
Anderson Co. (and Abbeville for Lucious). It would be so WONDERFUL to have a
double descendency! You are also really lucky to live at the source of these
records.

As a matter of fact, just this week someone gave me a reference I would LOVE
to have some pages from!! I assume you are in the Anderson Co Library
sometime? Would you consider copying the page that references the following:

Francis Clinkscales b 1748 m Mary Franklin b ca 1732 (dau of Wm.
Franklin, son of Francis Boucher Franklin - member of Durham Parish
Vestry in 1776)
See, "Some Clinkscales History...and Genealogy of Lawrence Sebastian
Clinkscales". (Book in Library in Anderson, SC)

I assume this is something about the Franklins, If you'd copy that, I'll
send you my whole GED!

At any rate, I hope this much helps you.

Regards,
Mary Ann Rhodes
