Marshall Cox, b. Oct 1864, probably Carroll Co., TN, m. Matilda Delila Warwick, in Knox Co., TN on 22 Jan 1885. The 1880 Carroll Co. Census lists Marshall and 2 brothers, J.B. and T.H. living with Elizabeth Cox, widow, listed as grandsons. Elizabeth had been the wife of James Cox, b. about 1798 in NC. Elizabeth was b. about 1806 in NC. Have a number of their children, but am unable to locate the parents of Marshall. Since Marshall was the oldest, his parents were probably married about 1863, and his youngest brother was born in 1876, so if they were living with his grandmother in 1880, the parents probably died between 1876 and 1880.

If anyone has any knowledge or can help in any way in locating the parents of Marshall, I would appreciate it.

Marshall Fleetwood Cox was my grandfather's (Rhebus Fleetwood Cox) grandfather. Marshall was (at least according to his death certificate and tombstone in Knox county, Tn dated 3-21-1943) born abt 10-2-1865 in Knox county, TN (although the census records of 1880 and 1900 place him a little earlier). His father was not named, but his mother was listed as Janie Graham (Cox). I have hit a dead end as to his father--but James and Elizabeth Cox were his grandparents who died in Carroll Co....I hope this helps you and please send me an info on Marshall's father if you find out anything!!

Stephen,

Marshall is my husband's grandfather's grandfather as well. In my research, I spoke to a Carroll county researcher and she does not think Marshall Fleetwood is James and Elizabeth's grandson. She also doubted that Benjamin F. was his father as he started having kids after Marshall was born. Their son Newton had a child by the name of James Marshall (b. 1862) and that is probably who is on the census record with Elizabeth. I am at the same brick wall.
