  * Grayson County History Vol. II 1981
  John Hunter Cox married Amy Elizabeth Rowell ca. 1857-58 in Tippah Co., Miss. They had three sons, James born 1858, died an infant; Isaac Fields Cox born May 24, 1860 and John Cox born Oct. 8 1862.
  John H. was killed on Nov. 13, 1862 in the Civil War. He probably never saw his youngest son John.
  When John and Isaac were young boys, Isaac had a hatchet and was chopping at a piece of wood as John was brushing away the chips. John bet Isaac he couldn't hit his hand. John lost the bet, losing also a finger cut off to the second knuckle. To add to this misfortune, when John was a young man, he got into a fight with a man named Tom Lampkins, and Tom bit off part of both his ears. They were left rather jagged so John had them trimmed.
  Amy remarried on Dec. 29, 1866 to James K. Polk Roberson. They had several children who grew up and raised families of their own in Tippah Co.
  Amy Roberson was said to be the oldest citizen of Tippah Co. at the time of her death. She died at the age of 94. She came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Rowell to Tippah Co. from North Carolina when she was a small child. She recalled that she came to that county in a wagon drawn by a team of oxen. She did not have the advantage of an education, but she kept up with what was going on in her community, watching it change from a comparative wilderness to a thickly populated section. She experienced the trials and troubles of the Civil War, which conflict caused much trouble and anxiety to the women and children. She and many women like her fought just as brave a fight during that period as the men who went to battle.
  Her sons Isaac and John Cox, married girls from Miss. and later moved to Grayson Co.
