I don't know who Isaac was.  This entry looks a little funny.  Presumably, it is Isaac, his wife, and three children.  But his wife looks much too young.  Perhaps her age was recorded incorrectly, or perhaps this isn't really a man and his wife.

I don't know who Lucy was.  But whoever she was, she was probably the same Lucy Cox who appeared as head of household in the 1810 Wilkes County, North Carolina census.

I don't know who Rhody was.  One might guess that she was a widow, and that she might have been a sister-in-law of Reuben Cox.

Reuben Cox and Susannah Padgett were my fourth great grandparents.  They were married 10 Dec 1805 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

My third great grandfather Riley Cox was born in 1812.

I don't recognize this Thomas Cox.  He is not the right age (much too young) to have been the same Thomas Cox who was enumerated in the 1790 and 1810 Wilkes County, North Carolina censuses.  This Thomas was probably married about 1810.

The most likely case seems to have been that this was Thomas Cox Jr., and was the son of the elder Thomas Cox.

I don't recognize this William Cox.  I wonder if he was a brother of Thomas.
