W.H. Perrin, F.A. Battey Pub. Co., Chicago, 1884. p. 272. [Cerulean Springs Precinct] C. M. COX was born February 2, 1855, in Cerulean Springs Precinct, Trigg County. He is a son of C.M.R. and Nancy C. (Moore) Cox, both natives of Mecklenburg County, Va. The father was born March 18, 1818; at the age of seventeen he started on foot for Kentucky, with $20 in his pocket. Trigg County was his first stopping place; here he remained three years, when he returned to his native State and county, and was married in 1838, after which he returned to Trigg County, and bought a farm of 100 acres, which he afterward sold. After serving as overseer for four years he bought his present farm of 100 acres which he cultivates in connection with his father's. He has recently completed a comfortable house at a cost of about $1,400, also a barn at a cost of $250. Mr. C. M. Cox was married in 1872 to Miss Frances Ladd, of Trigg County. Their union has been blessed with three children--one son and two daughters. His uncle, Lanson Cox, is still carrying on his farm in Mecklenburg County, Va., at the advanced age of ninety-one years.
