<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I also research Jane Cox Shaw, daughter of Gideon Smith
Cox (b. 30 Jan 1806 Knox Co. KY d. 17 Jan 1890 Silverton, Marion Co. OR) married
to Susan (Susannah) Coffenberry (b. 1806 OH d. 1869 Marion Co. OR). I knew
Gideon Cox rang a bell but I was thinking it was from the Cox's I research in
Douglas County, Oregon.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> On the maps found on vol 1, Polk was about the same longitudinally, but
ran<BR>> to the Pacific until 1853 when Tillamook was formed. So, yes,
on the north<BR>> side.<BR>> <BR>> Sorry you didn't find a closer "hit"
but as you note, these people all seem<BR>> to be related one way or
another.<BR>> <BR>> Not clear on why Gideon Cox "made his mark" on
one of the affs. He signed<BR>> his own application, apparently. Maybe if I
have time I'll look up the<BR>> original. <BR>> <BR>> Gideon "says" he
arrived in 1846 ((or is assumed to have?). I haven't<BR>> checked the rosters
for that year. <BR>> <BR>> This is great fun. 'Course when I get it done,
I'll have to branch out<BR>> north, east, south and west. Dang. The whole
county before I get done.<BR>> <BR>> Or, maybe someone else could do the
other twps? <BR>> <BR>> Pat<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -----Original

01W<BR>> <BR>> So I think to mysel; "I guess I'll let others worry about
humoring Pat, I<BR>> don't have anyone in my family file from that
area!"<BR>> <BR>> Then I thought better of it and decided to see what I
found; Cline, nope,<BR>> don't have that name, though I do have a Kline, but
they all are buried in<BR>> Michigan, so far so good, (or should that be "so
bad?")<BR>> <BR>> Cox; uh-oh well, no Isabell died in 1671
. . wait what is this Isham b.<BR>> 1813, d. bef 1880,
better check him out clicked on next name down instead b<BR>> 12 april 1852.
Sarah Bell ma to one of Phoebe cuz'z kin. So now I have an<BR>> Oregon
connection to the surname but in Curry county and then I notice Sarah<BR>> is
born in Polk Co. I don't remember how much ground that county covered in<BR>>
1852, but seems to me like it was mostly up north, what about Daddy; huh<BR>>
born Knox Co., Kentucky. Okay so I guess I will see where Pat's Mr. Cox
is<BR>> from; yep, you guessed it, Knox Co., Kentucky.<BR>> <BR>> Now
granted that doesn't prove Kinship, but does make one suspicious.<BR>>
Unfortunately all I know about Isham and family is what is in the Censuses
I<BR>> find them in. Now I don't see Isham in vol I of DLC book, but Gideon
is a<BR>> busy witness for Aff along with Samuel and John Cox for William
Shaw, but<BR>> then that seem fair William witnessed for Gideon along with
Sam and John.<BR>> Gideon also witnesses for Peter Cox, as do Sam and Elias
Cox. For Samuel<BR>> Allen though Gideon is the only Cox, along with Thomas
B. Allen. This time<BR>> there is a notation indicating that Gideon "made his
mark;" did someone<BR>> else sign his name on the other affadavits?
Even more interesting; on Samuel<BR>> Cox's homestead app Gideon is witness
and so is Joseph Blackerby; is that<BR>> just being a good neighbor, or is
there a connection there? Again on Samuel<BR>> Tucker's app Gideon and Sam
and a couple non Cox names.<BR>> <BR>> Ahah! in volume two Isham has more
entries than Gideon had in volume one;<BR>> Through the first four patents,
including his own, Isham doesn't have any<BR>> other Cox names. The first two
also involve Thomas R. Blain and the next two<BR>> involve Thomas R. Blair. I
bet they are the same person.<BR>> <BR>> Here is one of those "three
degrees of seperation" things; the sixth app<BR>> that Isham is indexed for
also is witnessed by James N. Dickey as well as<BR>> Isham, and the app
immediately before it is for Thomas J. Dickey. Dickey<BR>> just happens to be
the maiden name of Sarah Bell Cox's mother-in-law.<BR>> Finally on the eighth
entry we find Isham and another Cox; Jacob; Jacob<BR>> arrived in Oregon 1
Oct 1852, while Isham arr 1845. Isham and Jacob witness<BR>> for John Syron
next. Last for Isham on one page he is witness twice; both<BR>> times with
Mr. Blain/r and once also with both Dickey's I mentioned earlier.<BR>>
<BR>> In final analysis I have no proof of connection between these folks;
Isham<BR>> and Jacob while obviously neighbors, arrived in Oregon at
different time<BR>> from each other and not at the same time as any of the
Cox's asscociated<BR>> with Gideon. Gee, here's a thought, why Don't I go see
what Stephanie has on<BR>> these folks?<BR>> <BR>> She does provide a
possible link to William Shaw; George Washington SHAW<BR>> (1827-1890): m'd
1851 Jane COX; s/o William and Sarah (Gilliam) Shaw.<BR>> <BR>> I see no
sign of Gideon and company in the collection of Coxes on the 1845<BR>>
page.<BR>> <BR>> Les<BR>> <BR>>
