Notes for George Carter Cox
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records George Carter Cox, age 45, residence Elder, Morgan Co., Ky, born 17 March 1873, farmer, nearest relative Rosa Lee Cox, same address.
The SSDI lists George Cox, born 18 Aug 1874, died Nov 1962, SSN issued in Kentucky in 1955.
The Kentucky death index lists George C. Cox, age 88, died 6 Nov 1962 in Morgan Co., residence same.
If George was born in 1874, then his sister Magnolia, whose birthdate was reported as Feb 1875, must have been born in 1876, because there are only six months between Aug 1874 and Feb 1875. Unfortunately, I cannot find the Lindsey Cox family in the 1880 census.
