How to read this page

Photos and clippings count items you can view here.
Cited or transcribed records are counted separately.
Story links lead to accounts about the person; “Mentioned in another story” marks a passing reference.
Memorial links open Find a Grave.
A “family recollection” label marks something a relative remembered, not a written record.
A military-service label rates the record of that service, not the whole life.

Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.

Children

Daughter: Rachel Cox 1644–1707
Confirmed evidence: show why
Why: The 1893 Hampton history (COXE I) and the 1928 Sanborn ancestry give Rachel as Moses Coxe's daughter, married to Thomas Rawlins about 1670. HL-C06: confirmed as the printed sources state it, down to Mary (Rawlins) Coffin; the family tree's later links through the Coffin and York families were not rechecked.
