James Cox, son of John Cox and Mary [Potts] Cox married Elizabeth Cox on February 25, 1769, in Monmouth County, NJ. They were the parents of two known sons, Joshua Cox and Abel Cox. His birth date is incorrectly carved as June 2, 1756, and his age is listed as 58 years, 9 months, and 17 days, which calculates on June 2, 1746. His marriage record is taken from the Colonial marriages of New Jersey. Thus, if he was actually born on June 2, 1756, he would have only been 13 years old; further proof that the carved transcription of his birth is incorrect. He is listed in the 1830 U. S. Federal Census in Monmouth County, NJ., as a widower, and he was living alone. It is unknown when his wife, Elizabeth Cox died.
