Area's first settler. In 1810, Cox is said to have built a log house and cleared a patch of land in the timbered hills.

Solomon Cox of Cole Creek is our Cox family. I think he was Solomon T Cox grandfather maybe gg grandfather. One of his descendants joined up with the Mormons I believe his name was Jehu Cox. The Mormons' have documented Jehu's ancestors. Our ancestors appear in Jehu's records. 1.
