History of Maries Co, MO by Everett M. King: Nicholas (Bully) Cox Senior, died near Lebanon before the Civil War while on the road to Texas. The family completed the trip and stayed about a year, after which they returned to this county, bought their old place back with the same gold that had been paid them when they sold it two years before, and thereafter made this county their home.

Nicholas' wife was Elizabeth Bilyeu, who was born in Georgia (Federal Census shows born in North Carolina) September 1, 1821, and died here June 15, 1887. The mother of either Nicholas Cox Senior or of his wife, was a part-blood Cherokee. Elizabeth Bilyeu's father died in Tennessee and her mother later married a man named Everett, by whom she was the mother of a daughter, Susan, who was later the wife of Thomas Doyel. The family later came to this county, and it is known that Mrs. Cox's father was related to the Bilyeu and Hughes families already here, but the degree of relationship is not known.

After the death of her first husband Mrs. Cox married J. M. Kinney, and, later, Stephen Roberson, but no children were born of either marriage. The six children born of her first marriage and living to maturity were:

  1. Elizabeth [mar. John Bishop]
  2. Christopher Columbus [mar. Josephine Callahan, nee Woods]
  3. Emeline [mar. Peter Brock Jr]
  4. Enoch
  5. Crum ( same as Christopher Columbus?)
  6. Nicholas Junior [mar. Susan Dotson, nee Boyd]
