Wilkes County, North Carolina, 1 Aug 1850

       William   1  m w                Wilkes

Elmira Cox age 31 was the daughter of Thomas Cox Jr.  Thomas Cox Jr. was probably the brother of my fourth great grandfather Reuben Cox, so Elmira was probably Reuben's niece.

Elmira married Elbertson Kelly (Elbert) Walsh age 34 about 1837.  However, no courthouse marriage record has been found for the family.
