The Ancestors and Descendants
of James Marion White
and Lucy Ann Holt

by

Pat Goad White

There is more on Cary Cox, Sr., here on this page.  Pat Goad White describes the Oconee National Forest resting place of Cary Cox, Sr., (the so-called Cox-Griggs Burying Ground) that we visited in 2003.  See this page for details and a photograph of his headstone.  Nearby to this cemetery is also an old house, still preserved that is known as the Cox-Mathis House, and was once the home of Cary Cox., Jr., and that is still in use by the Georgia Game & Wildlife Dept. as a Ranger Station.

In addition, she alludes to an interesting relationship (and one I'm most proud of) between Cary Cox, Sr., and Gen. John B. Gordon, a prominent CSA General officer in the War Between the States.  See the link for information on other CSA connections in my family.  Cary Cox., Sr., was Gen. Gordon's great-grandfather.  Because Gen. Gordon and my direct ancestor, Col. Willis Cox Holt were 2nd cousins (sharing a great-grandfather), that makes ME a 2nd cousin 5 times removed of the famous Gen. Gordon, so often mentioned in Civil War memoirs, etc.  Gen. Gordon in fact wrote a book about his memories of the Civil War, available here.
