[or-roots] King/Cox and North Carolina

[Ronda Howard]

Hi Jane,
I am not related.  I just enjoy doing others a favor when I can.  I have 
been helped by people all over the world trying to find my husband's deBeers 
family which supposedly came from Holland in 1855, and I like to return the 
favor.

Interesting that Wilburn was born in Ashe County NC in 1822.  My gg 
grandparents were George V. Miller and Rachel Dixon.  George was born 
November 10, 1801 in Ashe County North Carolina.  Rachel was born May 15, 
1821 somewhere in North Carolina.  So if you run across those names I'd be 
ecstatic!  My parents have been looking for them for many years.

Let me know if there's anything else I can look up for you.
Ronda

Sorry- forgot to say that the parents of Gideon S. Cox were Joseph Cox
( b. 12-25-1766 Cane Creek, Orange  Co. NC) and Mary Pope (b. 1774 )
poss. in Ashe Co., NC.
Joseph's parents were William Cox and Juliatha Carr. I also have the
list of Gideon's siblings, if you like.  Thanks again.
