Two volumes of Cox family genealogy combined as one. The first volume contains information about the various early Cox families across America. The second volume deals specifically with the descendants of James and Sarah Cock of Killingworth upon Matinecock, in the township of Oysterbay, Long Island, New York.
James P. Dickenson, born on February 18, 1842, in Virginia, has established himself as a prominent stockman and farmer in Harney County, Oregon. After serving as a second lieutenant in the Civil War and enduring captivity, he returned home to marry Laura A. Milton in 1866. The family migrated westward, ultimately settling near Lawen in 1889, where they farmed and raised livestock. A respected member of the Harney Valley Stock Association, Dickenson has three children and continues to be a vital part of his community.
