1817 deed mentioning lots of Cox family after William Cox's death

William Cox's family. He died in 1814. This 1817 deed mentions Abraham and Isaac Cox (his sons. His third son William Jr. died in 1798) and Mary Cox, who I believe would be his widow and second wife. Also his sons-in-law: Thomas Long (married Rachel) and George Croft (married Rebecca).

All their signatures are at the bottom of the page - Isaac Cox [our direct line] has "his mark" -- whether this was because he couldn't write or other reason

Other related names mentioned: Hance Black, John Pyle
