Notes for Harmon COX Sr.
Harmon Cox, son of William Cox and Catherine Kinkey/Kankey, was born ca 1723 and died in 1813 in Randolph County, North Carolina. Harmon COX (Randolph), one of the leaders of Regulators, held meetings in his home, was captured at Alamance, sentenced to hang, and pardoned by the King. He was disowned by the Quakers at Cane Creek MM, 1 June 1771, after the Battle of Alamance (16 May 1771). He was married to Jane John on Dec. 25, 1745, at Fairfax MM, Loudon County, Virginia. and they had 10 children: Rebecca, Thomas, Nicholas, Harmon Jr., William, Nathan, Jane, Jacob, John, and Thomas.
Excerpt from, "Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission Minutes"/ Asheboro, North Carolina/March 24, 2010: "Mill Creek Friends Cemetery (Old Stone Graveyard): Mr. Whatley stated that the Old Stone Graveyard of Mill Creek Friends is located at the southeast corner of 1871 Mill Creek Road, Ramseur, NC and contains around two hundred graves located on land that was originally part of a very large estate acquired through land grants and purchases by William Cox. The Mill Creek Friends Cemetery has been called the Old Stone Graveyard because most of the graves are marked only with unlabeled markers or stones from the area. Many of the stones have been moved, not realizing they were grave markers. Mill Creek Preparatory Meeting was established in "Cox's Settlement" in the 1750s or 1760s, as an outgrowth of Cane Creek Friends Meeting in Orange (now Alamance) County. After the War of the Regulation and the Revolution when the area was under the control of David Fanning, the Mill Creek Meeting lapsed. About 1790, a new group, Holly Spring Preparatory Meeting, was established and became an independent Friends Meeting. The Mill Creek cemetery was used until a cemetery was established at Holly Spring. It is still maintained by Holly Spring Meeting. This cemetery is the resting place for William Cox and many of his decedents."
