About 1824 Sarah Ann Almand age 15 had a child out of wedlock. A son named Jefferson Cox Almand.

Jefferson Cox Almand exact birth date is not known. His grandfather Thomas Almand claimed that Jefferson was the illegetament son of his wife Nancy David Almand. (This is not possible.... she already had fifteen living children.) By claiming him illigetament Jefferson could take part in the Land Lottery Drawing for Newton County, Georgia May 2, 1827. Thomas Almand drew for Jefferson - No. 241, District 2, Section 5 in Carroll County. Thomas Almand then rented out the land. In order to do this legally he had to be made Guardian for Jefferson Cox Almand.

There are 29 Vouchers at the Newton County Courthouse regarding the renting of the land and the money he drew regarding supporting Jefferson Cox Almand. There I found his true last name COX. I have not been able to put him with biological father. (Jefferson continued to use the name Almand throught his life.)

On the 1830 Census Newton County, Georgia we are able to place Jefferson with Sarah Ann and Elisha Sparks. He is listed as male child 5 thru 9.
With information from the Guardian Valture files he lived with them for a number of years.

His mother Sarah Ann Almand married Elisha Sparks February 12, 1829. in Newton County, Georgia. They had ten children.
