Notes for Magnolia Cox
Her birthdate was reported as Feb 1875 in the 1900 census, but her brother George’s birthdate was reported as Aug 1874 on his death records. If the latter is correct, then she must have been born in 1876, because there are only six months between Aug 1874 and Feb 1875. Most likely it is George’s birth date that was in 1873, though. Unfortunately, I cannot find the Lindsey Cox family in the 1880 census to get another data point.,
