Note: the 1840 record (microfilm # 007643, page 283), there were 4 males and3 females in the household (John, William, Amos, *see note below,Elizabeth, Nancy, & Margaret). In 1850 record (microfilm # 007690page 2), John was listed as 47 , a farmer, born in OH. His wife wasElizabeth, sons Amos (age 22), William (age 17), daughters Nancy (age18), and Margaret (age 12). He owned property valued at $4,000.
Found after this information was the following: land purchased byJohn Cox 80 acres then addl 40 acres 1 Oct. 1833/1835/ first inTazewell cnty, then McLean cnty (believe parts of Tazewell cnty becameMcLean and land docs were re-issued). Document on file. No proofthis is correct John Cox.

Cenus 1830 reel 23, page 179 shows following people living in home ofJohn Cox:: 2-males under 10 years old (Amos Cox b: 1828 son of Johnand Elizabeth & Nathaniel Cox b: 1822 son of Benjamin and Philena DyeCox) , 1 mail 20-30 years old - John Cox would have been 27 in 1830.1-female 15-20 years old - Elizabeth would have been 19 years old in1830.
3/10 *note: Found a bio of John's brother David Cox that statesPhilena Dye Cox w/7 of her children and nephew John Kilmer came to ILLin 1826 after the death of Benjamin Cox. I believe the 4th male inthe household in 1840 was Johns youngest brother, Nathaniel Cox whowas probably raised by John and Elizabeth until his marriage toElizabeth Depew in 1844.
