Joseph (Judge Joseph) Cox 
Joseph, known as Judge Joseph, was born on August 18th, 1713. Judge Joseph's father was James Cox and his mother was Anne. His paternal grandparents were Thomas Cox and Elizabeth Blashford. He had three brothers and six sisters, named Thomas, James, John, Rachel, Anna, Alice, Elizabeth, Dorothy and Rebecca. He was the second youngest of the ten children. He died at the age of 87 on April 17th, 1801.General Notes
He was described as "a fanner, in easy circumstances, of unblemished character, of strong mind and highly respected; honored no man because he was rich; never ashamed of honest labor; reading the Bible aloud, one of the delights of his old age. One of his grandsons refers to his fine and venerable appearance and to that of his wife, who was in no respect his inferior and who, he thinks, must have been beautiful in her earlier years.
The wealth that he left to his children was not insignificant, although, when divided by ten, it could scarcely have gone far; but their lives were enriched by the nobler heritage of a godly character and an untarnished name.
