Moses Cox, the Big or the Hatter, as he was also known, married Sarah Deweese, Sept. 28, 1800, in Barren County, KY. In the will of Elisha Deweese, he devises 1/12 interest to Israel Cox, son of Moses Cox, 1/6 interest to Moses Cox, husband of his wife's daughter, Sarah Bell. Apparently Sarah Bell assumed the name of her stepfather, for she married under the name of Deweese. In the will of Moses Cox the Big, dated June 1846, and probated August 1847, he names his two sons, Israel and John W. and daughters Elizabeth Jemeson (George), Mary Smith (Thomas G.), Emily Depp (Albert L.), and Susannah Everett (Wm. G.), along with his wife Sally Cox. In the 1850 census, Sally Cox was 68 years old and a native of North Carolina (born ca 1782). We do not know the father of this Moses Cox. However, theory has it that he was a son of Israel of N.C. Note he was in KY in 1800, while the other Moses Cox [Moses the Little] did not leave N.C. until after 1804. In the 1820 census of Barren Co. KY, Chastean Cox, Jesse Cox, Moses Cox the Little, and Moses Cox the Big are listed. No doubt these were all relatives.
