Terri,

Have you checked with the Gloucester County Historical Society? They have alot more library resources than just the online database. You probably already have this info.. but I'm including it here. Both Cox and Wilson(Willson) were very common names in South Jersey.

First, remember that because a couple was married in Gloucester County does not mean they resided there. I have seen many cases where the couple lived outside of Gloucester County, and many times in nearby Pennsylvania and Delaware. It appears to be a good place to "elope" to, especially if it was a Quaker who was marrying outside of their meeting house.

can you give any specifics as to age of each of these persons? you know
that the 1850 census is the first one to include names of spouses and
children, so it gets really difficult to trace children (especially girls)
prior to 1850.....
