Sarah Lavinia Cox

Notes:

**********
The following is from a family history manuscript written by John Judson Monroe

It has always been a visible source of pride, at least to the juvenile element of the family that she [Sarah Cox] "goes straight back to John Sevier", the Tennessee pioneer. And there have been among the elders those sufficiently intrigued by the sound of an historical name to investigate the matter. Their findings substantiate the claim. All of this only proves that Sarah Cox was a tiny woman, who claimed as much credit for herself as for the grasshopper plague in bringing John Judson back to Illinois.

Sarah was called "little grandma" by some of her grandchildren to distinguish her from their other grandmother.

Notes:

Error alert: One reference says Nicholas' surname was Duncan and another says it was Davis. I believe the latter name is correct.

Nicholas married Mary Landrum on 15 Jul 1822. Mary (daughter of John Younger Landrum and Joanna Goad Sevier) was born on 2 Jan 1803; died on 26 Jan 1862 in , Jefferson Co., Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Died:
Error alert: The reference says Mary died in "Jefferson County CT," but there was never a county by that name in Connecticut. Also, Connecticut is a long way from where Mary lived. I believe this is a typographical error and it should be Jefferson County, Tennessee.
