Featured Family Friday: Isaac Cox and Mary E. T. Moore

Mary E. T. Moore was the third child of Bud Mathis Moore and Martha Brown Coulter. Isaac Cox was the son of Thomas B. Cox and Mary Olive Henderson (both the Cox and Henderson families have other members who married Moore family members).

I have only been able to find Susan Moore in the 1860 and 1870 censuses and do not know what happened to her after that. As far as I know she is not buried in any of the cemeteries where other Moores are (Standing Springs, Simpsonville, Reedy Fork, Cedar Shoals, and a few others). I also need more information on Walter William Cox (not sure if that is his name – he is listed as Walter H. on the 1860 census and William on the 1870 census; there are a couple of candidates who fit the general timeframe), Lafayette Cox (last seen in the 1900 census as a boarder living with the family of John H. Austin in Greenville City), and Samuel Cox (last seen on the 1880 census).

Robert Thurston Cox’ wife Leila’s maiden name was Cox. She was the daughter of Lewis Cox and Susan Hyde. I am sure they are related to the other Coxes somehow.

After Mary’s early death, Isaac Cox married a second time:

d. 26 Aug 1906, Greenville County, South Carolina
& Margaret Bryson
b. 6 Jan 1844, South Carolina
d. 5 Jan 1923, Simpsonville, Greenville County, South Carolina
|--Nancy Mamie Cox
|----b. 3 Nov 1879, Greenville County, South Carolina
|----d. 10 Jul 1902, Greenville County, South Carolina

After Isaac Cox died, Margaret Bryson Cox married Lewis Brashier (another family with many ties to the Moores, as well as the Hendersons and Coxes).

I am very interested in exchanging information with others who are researching these families.
