Individual Details

The will of Curd Cox makes a bequest to grandson Manoah Jett, son of Elizabeth, and goes on to say there will be nothing else to heirs of Elizabeth. He does not say she was deceased, but in the 1850 census, Manoah, age 11, appears with his father John Jett, age 47, and no Elizabeth [or any other female] is with John Jett, Manoah, and 17-year-old John W. Hill. It would appear Elizabeth was dead before 1850.
