ENOCH COX, SR.

Enoch Cox, Sr. was born in 1757 at Orange County, North Carolina and died 28 March 1840 at Carroll County, Virginia. He served as a private with Virginia in the Revolutionary War. He married (first) Mary Mackey and (second) Sally Stoneman. He was laid to rest in the Old Quaker Cemetery behind the historic Mt.

His grave is located in the cemetery on the lower 1/3 of the hillside. Grave coordinates N 36.38479 x W 80.53171. The inscription on his headstone is almost illegible.

There is a DAR marker at both of the above named graves placed by the Spoon River Chapter of the Illinois Society of the DAR. Sources for service: JLARC 1, 2, 11, 43; NSSAR RC# 147838 and 175146.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
