He was the son of Mrs. Melissa Cox. It appears as though she may have been widowed by 1860, because on both the 1860 and 1870 census records, she and her children were living in the household of Thomas J. Moody. Thomas J. Moody might have been her brother.
John's father might have been the son of Lemuel Cox and his wife Caroline S. Fickling-Burk-Cox, who were also buried in Redlands Baptist Church Cemetery.
By 1880, John had married Mary S. Knight(age 24) and they had one daughter, Varilla E. Cox age 4.
