GENEALOGY: Born April 10th, 1756 to John Cox and Elizabeth Palmer, John Cox, Jr. was a resident of Katsbaan in Ulster County, during the Revolution. In 1790 he bought a farm in Rhinebeck and was the estate manager at Grasmere (Richard and Janet Montgomery’s farm). He was the Rhinebeck Town Supervisor and a member of the New York State Assembly in 1822. His portrait is kept at the New York State Historical Society. John Jr. married April 9th, 1776 Maritje Hudler (1755–1838) who was Swiss and by ac-counts very pretty. They had children Elizabeth 1776, Catharine 1779, Hannah 1781, Maritje (Maria) 1786, Margaret 1791, and John Palmer 1794. In 1799, he owned pew #26 in the church.

John Jr.’s father was a loyalist from New York City who fled to Nova Scotia after the war, but did return toward the end of his life. On Christmas Day, 1824, John Jr., his father John Cox, Sr., his son John Palmer Cox, and his grandson John Vaché Cox all enjoyed a sleigh ride on the Hudson River—all four generations together, but as The Cox Family In America notes, all but John Vaché Cox deceased less than a year later. John Cox, Jr. died January 26th, 1825.
