ADELIA BELINDA COX SIDWELL, rancher and daughter of Orville Sutherland Cox and Elvira Pamela Mills, was born in Lima, Illinois, December 1, 1841. Her father removed to Nelson, Ohio, thence to Lima, Illinois, where he married Elvira P. Mills, In 1845 they were driven with the Mormons to Nauvoo, in 1846 removed to Pisgah, Iowa, and in 1847 came to Utah in Capt. Robinson's company of 1850 with Orville Cox being captain of the "Pisgah Mormons." They arrived in Salt Lake City October 2, 1847. His son, Orville M., was born in the old adobe fort in November. Orville removed his family to Bountiful in spring of 1848 and was called by President Young to go in Isaac Morley's company to colonize Manti, arriving there in November, 1849.

He built the first saw pit and George P. Billings assisted him in sawing lumber for the first floor in Manti. Father was captain of minute men in the Walker war and counselor to Bishop Lowry. He moved to Fairview in 1860 and was then called to colonize the Muddy country, but the colonists were counseled to leave their homes because of dispute over boundary line between Utah and Nevada and returned to Orderville, where many of his descendants continued to reside. He returned again to Fairview, where he died Independence Day, 1888.

Adelia was married in Manti by Bishop Moffitt April 13, 1864, to George Sidwell, a pioneer. He died September 20, 1883, leaving Adelia a widow with eight children: Susan, Corinne, Rosalia, Vivian, Elvira, George, Lafayette and Gideon.
