His wife Elizabeth (Fincher) died in 1729 and Thomas married 2nd Mary Cooke by a Priest as reported by London Grove Preparative Mtg of Friends on 8mo/Oct 31, 1730. He removed "over the Susquehanna" which was Lancaster Co (1729), later York County (1749) and later Adams Co (1800), PA. Although Elizabeth (Fincher) died in 1729, Thomas Cox is mentioned in the 1746 Will of John Fincher "To Thomas Cox living over the Susquehanna £5 for the use of his daughter Rebecca wife of James Fraiser." [PA Will Bk B, pg 240].

- - - Research Note: Others have postulated that the Cox children who were born in the 1690s were the children of William Cox and Emmetje Van der Coelen. However, records from Old Swede Church in New Castle Co DE show that their children were born in the 1710s and 1720s, precluding William and Emey being Thomas' parents.
