Notes for James Eddie Cox
In the 1900 census, he was recorded in Morgan Co., Ky with his brother George as James E. Cox, brother, 19, born July 1880. The reported birth date is not consistent with later records.

The Kentucky death index lists James E. Cox, age 72, died 30 Jan 1956 in Morgan Co., residence same.

Census Notes for Cora Alice Lawson
1900 census of Morgan Co., Ky, district 2, enumerated 23 June, lists on p. 20A as family #351/360:
Cox, Reuben, 64, b. Mar 1836, Va Va Va; Mary J., wife, 45, b. Feb 1855, Ky Ky Ky, married 16 years, mother of 0 children, 0 living; Lula, granddau, 4, b. June 1895; Lawson, Cora A., stepdau, 15, b. Mar 1885; Curtis B., stepson, 12, b. Aug 1887; Mays, Robert L., lodger, 25, b. Oct 1874, widowed. All except Reuben born Ky Ky Ky.
The number of children for Mary, and the number of years married, are incorrect. Mary has apparently interpreted the number of years married to be the number of years since her first marriage (to James Lawson in 1884), and the number of children as the number from only the current marriage.
