| 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.
