Biographical Sketch:
Other children:
William James (ca 1810 –
Aug
27 1861)
+
Elizabeth T. Stone (1813 – Oct
27 1882).
See
1840a
+ 1840b,
1850,
1860
. William is named in the August 21, 1857 Archibald Cox, Jr. land
petition as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased). Note male son
named
"Archa." in 1850, 1860 census and "A.D. Cox" in 1869
Williamburg county militia
role. "AJ Cox" is found in the 1869 SC Williamsburg County census. Elizabeth Stone Cox is not found
in the 1870 census. Their children were: William James Cox, Jr.
Penny
(ca 1810 - >1860) - (not known
if ever married).
She was living with Charlotte Cox in 1850b
and in 1860a 1860b living with
William Johnson, an immediate neighbor of Archibald Cox, Jr.
(see
1860a
and 1860b).
In the
1850
census Penny is listed in the household of 60 year old
Charlotte Turner Cox followed by James (11), John (11), Rowena Cox (6)
and Mary Cox (28);
perhaps one or more of the boys and girl were her children, or perhaps
children of her sister Mary (see below). Note that in 1860
16 year old Rowena was living with Mary
Cox Turner. Rowena married
in 1865 and was a neighbor of James Dura Turner in 1880
(James successively had married Charlotte
L. Cox and Mary Cox; one of these sisters and James were possibly
Rowena's parents). Rowena died Feb. 9, 1910 and is buried in
Hannah,
(Florence County), SC. Penny is named in the August 21, 1857
Archibald
Cox, Jr. land petition as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased).
Robert
(ca 1812 - >1860)
+ Eliza
Flowers (ca
1815 - >1860) = 7 children. See 1840a
+ 1840b
, 1850a
+ 1850b
and
1860
.
Note - Archy J. Cox, William Cox and Robert Cox are listed together
in the 1840 census data. Robert is mentioned in the diary
of William Bartell, once in late 1828 and again in early
1838.
Robert is named in the August 21, 1857 Archibald Cox, Jr. land petition
as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased). Robert is not found in
the
1870 census.
Charlotte L. (ca 1813 – Oct
30 1852) + James Dura
Turner (ca
1814 – Oct 2 1895)
= 4 children. She died 6 days after giving birth to her last
child,
Elizabeth (born Oct 24, 1852). See 1850, which shows that
James's mother, Francis Turner Smith (a daughter of Amos Turner), was living
with them. The Turner
Bible states they were married July 1 1846. After Charlotte's
death, James married her sister Mary Cox. "Ann Cox [unmarried daughter of Robert Cox?], the children Ann Haseldon [Ann Cox] deceased, children of Ann (?) Derackin [daughter of Jane Cox & James Derackin ?] deceased, Mary Turner, Robert Cox, Penny Cox, John Cox, Fanny Blount, Delilah Belfower, & the children of Charlotte Turner" are named
in
the August 21, 1857 Archibald Cox, Jr. land petition as heirs of
Charlotte
Cox (deceased).
Children of James Dura Turner and
Charlotte Cox were
as follows:
Alice Sophia Turner, born 27 Nov
1847 in Marion Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 25 Sep 1858 in Marion Dist, SC (now
Florence
Co, SC).
Joseph Preston Turner , born 9
Mar 1849 in Marion Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died Apr 1919 in Florence Co, SC. He married
Mary Minerva Powell .
Francis Mazell Turner , born 14
Aug 1851 in Marion
Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 5 Dec 1921 in Florence Co, SC. She
married
James Washington Coleman .
Elizabeth C Turner , born 24 Oct
1852 in Marion Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 8 Oct 1916 in Florence Co, SC. She
married
Benjamin Prosser.
Jane (1814 - bf 1853)
+ James
Derackin
(1814
- af 1850) = 4 children. See 1850.
The "children of Mrs. ?? Deracken, deceased" are named in the
August
21, 1857 Archibald Cox, Jr. land petition as heirs of Charlotte Cox
(deceased). Note that in 1860 a 15 year
old female Derackin is living with James Dura Turner and Mary Cox
Turner (see below). Other Derackins are also living in Marion County in 1850. At least one other child is known, Rev. Samuel E. Derackin (Feb 24 1842 - Nov 26 1893).
Ann
(ca 1810-1815 - 1857 ?)
+ ? Haselden (? - ?) There is a William
Haselden
(ca
1810 - > 1870) with wife Elizabeth, who appears 1850 1860 1870 . William also appears in 1840
with a women who might have been Elizabeth, and "Ann Haeseldon" appears
as a separate family. William Haseldon and wife
Elizabeth would be inconsistent with Cox, since the "children
of Ann Haseldon, deceased"
are named in the August 21, 1857
Archibald
Cox, Jr. land petition as heirs of Charlotte Cox (deceased). Ann Cox
could have either died or remarried prior to 1850. The only census
record that appears consistent with Ann Cox is 1840,
where "Ann Haeseldon" is shown with 1 boy age 5 or younger, 3 boys ages
5-10, 1 girl age 10-15 and 1 female age 30-40. She does not appear in
1850, either having died or remarried; the 1857 land record suggests
she had died.
Note
that in 1869 Samuel J. Cox sells Williamsburg lands to Mary Haselden,
James
Haselden and William Haselden (might have been an estate
settlement). It is said that four Haselden brothers (Samuel, William
Micajah, Thomas and Richard) emigrated
from England to PA before the Revolutionary War. One unknown brother
remained in PA, the other three settled in SC, Williamsburg County.
Samuel had a son, Samuel Wyatt Haselden, (married Martha Flowers).
His
son, William Bennett Haselden, (1844 - 1930).
Delilah
(ca 1816 - > 1880)
+
William Bellflower
(ca
1817 – > 1880) = 7 children (Henry, Samuel, Charlotte, Jesse, Robert, Mary E., Elizabeth) . See 1850,
1860.
Delilah Belflower is named in the August 21, 1857 Archibald
Cox,
Jr. land petition as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased). Neither
Delilah
Cox Bellflower nor William Bellflower is not found in the
1870 census. However, William Bellfower (age 68) re-appears in the
1880 census with an age 68 woman, Eliza.
John
(1820 - < 1870)
+ Susannah
Louise Owens
(ca
1822 - >1880) = 6
children. See 1850,
1860,
1870,
1880 . John is named in the August 21, 1857 Archibald
Cox, Jr. land
petition
as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased). Based on the 1880 census,
he may have started a second family.
Mary (ca 1821 – Dec
29 1876) + James
Dura
Turner
(ca 1814 – Oct 2 1895)
= 3 children. She was
single, around age 22,
and living with her mother Charlotte Turner Cox in 1850
along with 3 young children James (11 ), John (11) and Rowena (6);
perhaps one or more were her children. Note Mary was married by 1860, that in 1860
16 year old Rowena was living with Mary and James; perhaps Rowena was
an out-of-wedlock or orphan child of Mary or Mary's older sister
Penny. Also see 1870
and 1880. Her gravestone
shows 1876 as the year of her death, and the Turner Bible gives Dec 29 1886
as the date. Mary Cox appears with James in the 1870 census, but
not
in the 1880 census; it is assumed that the Bible entry year is
incorrect.
Mary Turner is named in the August 21, 1857 Archibald
Cox, Jr. land petition as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased).
The Turner Bible indicates that she married James on Feb 23 1854. Her gravestone is here.
Children of James Dura Turner
and Mary Cox were as
follows:
Adger Legare Turner , born 2 Jul
1857 in Marion Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 29 Dec 1924 in Florence Co, SC. He
married
on 18 Apr 1878 in Marion Co, SC (now Florence Co, SC) Ida Emaline
Altman
, born 1861/62 in Marion Dist, SC (now Florence Co, SC).
Emaline Elliveen Turner , born 29
May 1859 in Marion
Dist, SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 8 Jan 1937. She married on 19 Mar
1879 in Marion Co, SC (now Florence Co, SC) James M Prosser .
Robert Frazier Turner , born 21
Jul 1862 in Marion
Dist,
SC (now Florence Co, SC); died 17 Sep 1929 in Florence Co, SC. He
married
on 31 Dec 1885 in Marion Co, SC (now Florence Co, SC) Amelia Selima
Creel, born 1868/69 in Marion Co, SC (now Florence Co, SC), daughter of
Decatur
Creel and Cassandra (---).
Frances
(? - ca 1849) + ?
Blount. In
1850,
1-year-old Frances Blunt was living with Robert & Eliza Cox;
Frances
was also living with them in 1860. See 1850a
+ 1850b,
1860
. This suggests that Frances Cox died around 1849. "Fanny Blount" is named in the August 21, 1857
Archibald
Cox, Jr. land petition as an heir of Charlotte Cox (deceased).

Notes:
From Marty Grant's website:
"Charlotte Turner was born ca 1789/90 (per the
1850 census) in the
area that was then Georgetown District, SC, but became Marion District
in 1798 (and Marion County in 1868, and finally Florence County in
1888).
Charlotte is a proven child of Amos Turner
(Equity Roll # 45, 9 Jul
1831). She was married to Archibald Cox (administrator of her father's
estate). They were married prior to ca 1810.
Archibald Cox was listed on the 1810 census in
Marion District (don't
have enumerations yet).
He was listed on the 1820 census ("120001-51010").
He was listed on the 1830 census (page 9 "11100001-00141001")
He was listed on the 1840 census (page 143 "100100001-00012001")
Archibald Cox died before 1850. Charlotte Cox was
listed on the 1850
census in Marion District, with several children, and apparently
several
grandchildren as well. (I've listed some of these grandchildren as her
children, so as not to lose track of them, pending identification of
their
parents). My guess is that these grandchildren are children of Penny
Cox,
but I have no proof of that so far. Two of the boys (James and John)
may
be children of Archibald Cox Jr who had sons by these names (and were
nowhere
to be found in the 1850 census). In 1850 Charlotte was listed just a
few
houses from her sister Mary Turner Avant and just a few from her sister
Francis Turner Smith.
Charlotte Turner Cox wasn't found on the 1860
census, so I suspect
she had died by then, or perhaps had remarried. Some of their children
were found in 1860 and later census records in Pee Dee township."
She died between February 2, 1854 (date of land
grant to her and her
son Archibald Cox, Jr.) and Sep 1, 1857.
