Moses was one of the younger sons of old Curd Cox & Susannah Overton/Cox. With a large family & many assets, his beneficiaries seemingly struggled for several years to get the books in balance. His sons, Curd & John Cox, were listed as the executors of his will. This Curd Cox, married to Amanda Mary Renfro, was my 2g-grandfather. ------------------------------------------------ July Term 1872 Moses Cox An inventory of the personal estate of Moses Cox & cash on hand.
