Biographical History
Texas colonizer. Born in 1846, Cox was a Quaker from North Carolina who moved to Indiana. Later traded his Boxley, Indiana, sawmill business for 50,000 acres of land in Crosby County, Texas. Came to Texas in 1876, and sold land for $0.25 an acre. By 1879, a Quaker colony was established near the town of Marietta, Texas. Named after Cox's wife, Marietta was re-named Estacado in 1886. By 1893, most of the colonists had left the South Plains. Cox died in 1888.
