Catherine and her siblings was named in her father Herman's will dated 22 April 1732.
William and Catherine had ten children: Rebecca (1717), married John Dixon; Mary (1719) married James Lindley; Martha (1721), married William Ferrel; Harmon (1723), married Jane John; Margery (1724), married Isaac Nichols; William Jr. (1726), married Juliatha Carr; John (1728), married Mary Scarlett; Solomon (1730), married Ruth Cox (often confused with Naomi Hussey); Catherine (1732), married Eleazer Hunt; and Thomas Cox (1736), married Sarah Davis. They had 10 children and removed to North Carolina where he died in 1767 [N.C. Will Bk A 1752-1788, pg 53, et seq].
William and Catherine's ten children:
1. Rebecca Cox
2. Mary Cox
3. Martha Cox
4. Harmon Cox
5. Margery Cox
6. William Cox
7. John Cox
8. Solomon Cox
9. Catherine Cox
10. Thomas Cox
William Cox, Catherine's husband was born in 1692 in Hockessin, New Castle, Delaware. Hockessin (Ocashon) is a community that is located in the northern section of New Castle County Delaware, along the border of Pennsylvania. The territory known as Hockessin was founded in 1688 when several European families settled in the area. They named the little village Hockessin after the Lenape word hokesa, which translates to pieces of bark. At this time, the community was mainly dependent on dairy and mushroom farms.
*The Kinkey sisters tie this family together: Mary Kinkey m. William Husband in 1720 at St Stephen's Episcopal Church, Earleville, MD; Catherine Kinkey m. William Cox about 1716; Margery Kinkey m. William Gregg in 1725 at Centre Mtg, New Castle County Upon Delaware

Suggested edit: It is questionable whether Catherine Kinkey Cox is buried in the Old Stone Cemetery. Quaker records show William Cox received a certificate from the Kennett Monthly Meeting on July 4,1752 to be presented for acceptance at the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. He was accepted at Cane Creek on February 3,1753. His daughter Catherine and Eleazer Hunt petitioned the New Garden Friends Meeting for marriage in 1752, so its reasonable to conclude William relocated to North Carolina sometime prior to that date.
Quaker records are silent regarding William's wife Catherine. Like William, she was issued a certificate in 1752 from the Kennett Monthly Meeting for presentation to the Cane Creek Friends, but is not recorded as being received by Cane Creek. Perhaps Catherine died before the move to North Carolina was complete.

Notes for William (Spouse 1)
William Cox was born ca 1692 at/near New Castle, Delaware. He married Catherine Kinkey/Kankey ca 1716 at/near Hockessin, New Castle, Delaware. It is believed that William and Catherine had ten children: Rebecca, Mary, Martha, Harmon, Margery, William (Jr.), John, Solomon, Catherine, and Thomas. His will is on file in Orange County, North Carolina. William is buried at the Old Stone Graveyard of Mill Creek Friends, in Randolph County, North Carolina. William died in Orange Co/Randolph Co., North Carolina on Jan. 20, 1767.
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."
I (Audrey Haverkamp) visited the cemetery twice, first in 2013, and took the picture of the Old Stone Graveyard marker. This is the only indication that William Cox is likely buried here. I visited with the person whose yard the cemetery lies in and he shared that to his knowledge. the cemetery plat no longer exists as it was lost many years ago. Prior to his living there, his mother lived there so we are talking about many years. Many of the headstones are completely illegible, many missing, and many just contain initials carved upon field stones. The picture added by "Always Searching" is a copy of the picture I took and posted in 2013.
