I am researching my father's side of the family.

His mother, my grandmother was named Mary Anna Cox.
She lived in Cairo, Grady Co., GA 
b. 5 Sep 1891
d. 4 Jul 1970 in Cairo, Grady, Georgia

Her father was William Franklin Cox
b. 15 Aug 1856, Georgia
d. 28 Jul 1934, Cairo, Grady, Georgia

His father was named Levi C. Cox or Levy Cox and he was born 9 Feb 1805 in 
Wayne County NC

Here lies the rub...I don't know who his father and mother are.
I have spent many weeks trying to find out this information and have not turned 
over any info until I looked at your site.

I did see that Wayne County had a lot of Coxes but I can't match mine with any 
of yours.

Could you help me with this.
