Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Cox and Phillips families (and variant spellings) who came mainly from England to New England. Some related families came from Ireland and Scotland. In the 1600s, some Cox, Phillips, and related families immigrated to Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. In the 1700s, some settled in Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Key families are those of Tobias Phillips and Matthew Cox who both brought their families to Montgomery County, Virginia in the 1700s. Tobias L. Phillips (1793-1832) married Lucy V. Cox (1804-1859). When Montgomery County was divided in 1831, the southeastern part became Floyd County. Many Cox and Phillips families remained in Floyd County as well as in southwestern Virginia and western North Carolina. Other branches of the Cox and Phillip families intermarried later. During the 1800s, some moved to Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Some descendants died in military service and were buried in foreign countries. Other descendants lived in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, and elsewhere. Records include births, marriages, deaths, and obituaries extracted from family bibles, book reviews, cemetery inscriptions, census records, county clerk records, historical books and articles, newspapers, queries, and other record sources.
