Edwin Charles Cox was born in the village of Dean in Somerset County, England in 1838 to Abraham Cocks and Frances Beard.

After a few years Edwin and his brother moved to Ebbuvale where Samuel would find lodging with some Mormon missionaries. This was their first contact with Mormons, and subsequently Edwin, though raised as an Episcopalian, converted to Mormonism and was baptized into the church in June of 1857. He served as a missionary in England and then immigrated to Utah, where he settled in Cedar City. In 1867 he married Elizabeth Mary Reid and had nine children.
