Riley Jay (Jay) Cox age 30 was the son of James Nelson Cox and Emily Gertrude (Gertrude) Foshee and the grandson of Riley Cox and Mary Marinda (Marinda) Pierce. Riley was my third great grandfather, but Marinda was Riley's second wife and I am descended from Riley's first wife Frances (Franky) Price. As such, James Nelson Cox was the half brother of my second great grandfather John Tivis Cox and Jay Cox was the (half) first cousin of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox. In addition, Marinda Pierce was the daughter of my third great grandparents James E. Pierce and Anny Green. As such, Marinda was the sister of my second great grandmother Nancy Ann Pierce who married John Tivis Cox. In other words, the Pierce sisters Marinda and Nancy married the Cox father and son pair Riley Cox and John Tivis Cox. |
Jay married Lillian Doris (Doris) McCoy age 21 on 19 Apr 1937 in Greene County. |
