Philip Jr. married Johannah Trembly about 1738 in NJ. This family was something else to straighten out. Everyone thought he lived to be about 106 but as it turned out. There were 2 Philip Coxes. His father died young. We found out when Mercer Co, NJ. decided to make a highway thru what was once a cemetery. The 2 Philip Coxes stones were found being used as steps into a house, nearby.
