Seeking more information on William C. Cox and family,

William C. Cox was born 8 May 1858 somewhere in IA but is evidently buried in Randolph Co. NC.

William Cox was a member of Friend's Church (Quaker) in Rose Hill (Butler Co.) KS. He was said to have been a preacher at some point in his life. He married Ruth Anna Davis, born 2 Aug 1863 in Hamilton Co. IN, in 1879. She was also a member of the Rose Hill KS church. Ruth died 29 Aug 1901 in Rose Hill and is buried there.

William Cox's father was Michael Cox, born 11 March 1816 in Randolph Co. NC, membership in Holly Spring, NC Quaker church; Bear Creek, IA; Rose Hill, KS. Michael Cox was married to Rhoda Hinshaw, born 27 Oct. 1822 in Randolph Co. NC, on 18 Dec 1842 in Randolph Co. They were members of Quaker churches in Holly Spring, NC, Bear Creek, IA, and Rose Hill KS. They both died and are buried in Rose Hill.

One of William Cox's children was Dora Ellen Cox, born 8 Jan 1881 in Rose Hill, KS. I am interested in finding out if there were other children. Dora married William Henry "Chub" Simmons (my line) born 7 Dec 1881 Rose Hill, KS. I have information on their children. His father, William Henry Simmons Sr. was born 10 May 1829 somewhere in NC and I would love to find out where. He married Mary Frances Lyday abt. 1866 in IN and is buried in Seltzer Srings (Sedgwick Co.) KS. It is possible he may have been married before, although I don't have any information about that. Mary Frances was born 29 Jan 1848, Clinton, (Vermillion Co.) IN. She died 19 April 1929 in Wichita (Sedgwick Co.) KS. I have information on their children. Her parents were Benjamin Franklin Lyday and Vesta Ann Rush.
