Jane Mitchell was the daughter of Almarian Mitchell and Cynthia Cox.  As such, she was the granddaughter of Aaron Cox and Polly Hill.  I am pursuing the slim possibility that this Aaron Cox was the brother of (or otherwise related to) my fourth great grandfather Reuben Cox.  A bunch of Cox descendants of Aaron Cox were living in the next few houses.

Jane's husband was William Burgess Wylie.

Wiley Cox was the son of William Cox and Delilah Carroll.  As such, he was the grandson of Aaron Cox and Polly Hill.  Wiley's wife was Mahala Jane (Jane) Cox.  I would suspect that she was a cousin of Wiley, but I really don't know who her parents were.

I don't know exactly how this Aaron Cox fits into the Cox family.  It seems likely that he was a grandson of William Cox and Delilah Carroll, and a great grandson of Aaron Cox and Polly Hill.
