Contributor's Note:  Although oral history (& his gravestone) says old Curd 
Cox bought a farm of 2000 acres, I have been able to find only this one deed 
for 400 acres in the records.   In his will, he did leave 300 acres to his son 
Henry Cox; but with the exception of one acre being set aside for the 
cemetery, no other land is  given to his children thru his will.
