Simon Cox 
Simon was born in 1755 in Bladen County,North Carolina. Simon's father was Benjamin Cox and his mother was Martha Garretson. His paternal grandparents were John II Cox and Hannah Jenkins; his maternal grandparents were Casparius Garretson and Ann Cox. He had six brothers and two sisters, named Benjamin , Jr., John, Thomas, Joseph, William, Jeremiah, Ruth and Amy "Naomi". He was the second oldest of the nine children. He died at the age of 71 on October 6th, 1826 in Robeson County,North Carolina.General Notes
Simon Cox appears in the 1790 census for Robeson County, NorthCarolina. At that time, he had one malel over 16, four males under 16and five females in the family, enumerated as white. In 1800, therewere 6 "other free persons" and two slaves in the household. The 1810census shows three "other free persons." He is not listed in the 1820census, but there are several deeds for him during the 18 20s,including one on 6 October 1826 (U-14).
Fortunately for us, Simon was counted as white in 1790, and from thiswe have an idea of how many boys and girls he had. Since he had eightchildren by that time, it is reasonable to suppose that he had beenmarried for about 16 years. In addition to the children I haveincluded in this database, he probably had two more boys and two moregirls not yet identified.
Among the early records regarding Simon, I note a land grant from thestate of North Carolina, 7 November 1784, 300 acres on East side ofHog Swamp. This information is in "abstract of deeds, Bladen County,North Carolina" by Wanda Suggs Campbell. In Robeson County deeds,Book A page 233, dated 10 November 1787, Simon Cox is listed as beinga neighbor of Adam Ivey.
There are Patents shown for John Cox, Simon Cox, and Gilbert Cox alldated 26 November 1789. Different deeds show that their land alljoined each other.
In 1763, Simon Cox and Gilbert Cox appear on a tax list for BladenCounty, North Carolina.
Simon does not appear on the 1820 Census for Robeson County, but he isstill disposing of his land when he makes a deed to Isaac Lamb Jr.,his grandson.
