Margaret Ann, "Peggy", married Lieut. David Cox about 1764 at Grayson County, Virginia and was mother to his twelve children. Her last son was born when she was in her late 40's.

Her first son, Joshua McGowen Cox, who helped with his father's large landholdings, is buried, along with his wife, Ruth Osbourne, in this family graveyard. The Cox family referred to this as "the family cemetery at Bridle Creek" or "the family cemetery at New River".

David, with his wife (Margaret McGowen), Joshua, with his wife, (Ruth Osborne) and Joshua's grandaughter (Ruth Cox Calloway), along with several other family members are memorialized on two family cenotaph monuments in Row 2 & Row 3 at the Bridle Creek Methodist Church Cemetery (aka Bridle Creek Cemetery) west of Independence, Grayson, Virginia.

One of these monuments reads: "Their graves are located on ridge at foot of mountain 3/4 mile N 19 W from this point." which describes what is now known as this Lt. David Cox Cemetery.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Sep 28 2022, 18:28:59 UTC
