The Will of Vincent Cox, filed 5 Jul 1698 and probated 26 Oct 1698 in Westmoreland County, Virginia left the following bequeaths to his children. His wife was apparently dead at the time since no provision was made for her. To his oldest son, Charnock, he left 300 acres of land, silver , etc. His three daughters, Martha, Ann, and Elizabeth were listed but no specified bequeaths were named. To his son and namesake, Vincent, he left the home plantation, 340 acres of land, silver, etc. No mention was made of his son, Thomas, in his will. He was underage, which is proven by his appearance in court, 20 Jun 1700. He chose John Redman to be his guardian. Thomas Cox's sister, Ann, was the second wife of John Redman of Westmoreland County, Virginia.
