John D. Cox, b. 1855, Caldwell Co; d. 1919 in Kansas City, residence, Cameron. His wife was Jennie Ford. They had 4 daugthers: Nancy married Clair McClean, Cameron; Sally married Joe H. Allen and lived in Sapula, OK; Altha; and Anna Louise. Possibly a grandson named Paul Allen.

Looking for information (dates of birth, marriage, death, burial, names of parents) on his parents, listed on his MO death certificate as Sarah Brown and James Cox; also on his sisters (only have their initials - "M." Cox b. abt 1857; "D. F. Cox, b. abt 1855). John may have had a half sister, Emeline Gray, b. abt 1848.

Thanks so much for any help.
