The story of Cary Cox, Jr., a Primitive Baptist Preacher is told on this page.  He is listed as Carey Cox II here, but most records spell his name Cary Cox, and utilize the suffix Jr.  There are numerous Cary Cox's in the lineage, so it is best to use dates of birth/death to avoid confusion.  Cary Cox, Jr., was born in 1778 and died in 1871.  The Cox-Mathis house, in Putnam County, GA, (map) was once the home of Cary Cox, Jr.  He had given it to his son Joseph Cox, who married Fannie Farrar.  After Joseph Cox was killed in the Civil War, Fannie remarried to a Major Mathis (thus the name Cox-Mathis House), but by report, this new couple kept the now old Cary Cox, Jr., in their home until his death in 1871.  I have located him in the 1870 census in their household, and he is shown as being 91 years old.  He thus died a year later at age 92, still living in the household of his son's widow who had remarried.  His burial site is not known, and perhaps he is one of the unmarked graves at the Cox-Griggs Burial site nearby in the Oconee National Forest.
