My brickwall surname is COX. Recently, I came across research related to Richard Swepson and the Cox family in Mecklenburg, VA. He had multiple deeds of trust in the late 1700's and early 1800's. First one listed was from Thomas COX to Richard Swepson, folllowed by one from James Cox, then Archer Cox, and lastly Barlett Cox. My direct ancestor goes back to Archer, born in about 1784 in Mecklenburg, and his father James. This past weekend I found the attched newpaper item. Seems james owed back taxes on his land, and the Mecklenburg Court was considering the sale of his 38 acres in 1785. If I could get the orginal deed for this property, I would hope to get more bio related infor about james, such as wife's name, a better understanding of James' origins. If anyone is related to or has info about this specific line, please reply. Thank you in advance. I really am glad that we have a new group since rootsweb is defunct.

I've found the Library of Virginia's Chancery Index to have some worthwhile nuggets. Often these will explicitly spell out the heirs, wifes and other relations and often includes copies of any Will in question. Unfortunately not all of the records are digitized and available online but the indexes and surnames of the parties involved are usually listed. I'm not sure these would tie to your line but oldest listing is pltf John Cox vs defendant(s) EXRS of Joseph Ligon and EXRS of Abram Murray in Mecklenburg Co. 1786. The Library will create copies of an non-digitized files so you can order them (for a fee of course) but when you do that, you are gambling that the info is pertinent to information you are seeking. Of course if you are interested in ALL Cox lines in Mecklenburg County, so much the better - still has value.
