The
name Cox is of English or Irish origin. However, the earliest
information I have on this Cox family starts in the mid-18th century in
Lower Alloway, Salem, New Jersey.

Etta Teresa Cox, with her parents, William Henry Cox and Elma Anne Deenis. Although the fifth child in the family,
Etta was the first to survive beyond infancy. At right is Etta with her brother, Roy.
