Catherine and her siblings was named in her father Herman's will dated 22 April 1732.

William and Catherine had ten children: Rebecca (1717), married John Dixon; Mary (1719) married James Lindley; Martha (1721), married William Ferrel; Harmon (1723), married Jane John; Margery (1724), married Isaac Nichols; William Jr. (1726), married Juliatha Carr; John (1728), married Mary Scarlett; Solomon (1730), married Ruth Cox (often confused with Naomi Hussey); Catherine (1732), married Eleazer Hunt; and Thomas Cox (1736), married Sarah Davis. They had 10 children and removed to North Carolina where he died in 1767 [N.C. Will Bk A 1752-1788, pg 53, et seq].

William and Catherine's ten children:

William Cox, Catherine's husband was born in 1692 in Hockessin, New Castle, Delaware. Hockessin (Ocashon) is a community that is located in the northern section of New Castle County Delaware, along the border of Pennsylvania. The territory known as Hockessin was founded in 1688 when several European families settled in the area. They named the little village Hockessin after the Lenape word hokesa, which translates to pieces of bark. At this time, the community was mainly dependent on dairy and mushroom farms.

*The Kinkey sisters tie this family together: Mary Kinkey m. William Husband in 1720 at St Stephen's Episcopal Church, Earleville, MD; Catherine Kinkey m. William Cox about 1716; Margery Kinkey m. William Gregg in 1725 at Centre Mtg, New Castle County Upon Delaware

Suggested edit: It is questionable whether Catherine Kinkey Cox is buried in the Old Stone Cemetery. Quaker records show William Cox received a certificate from the Kennett Monthly Meeting on July 4,1752 to be presented for acceptance at the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. He was accepted at Cane Creek on February 3,1753. His daughter Catherine and Eleazer Hunt petitioned the New Garden Friends Meeting for marriage in 1752, so its reasonable to conclude William relocated to North Carolina sometime prior to that date.

Quaker records are silent regarding William's wife Catherine. Like William, she was issued a certificate in 1752 from the Kennett Monthly Meeting for presentation to the Cane Creek Friends, but is not recorded as being received by Cane Creek. Perhaps Catherine died before the move to North Carolina was complete.
