      Caroline Anderson married 1 Sylvester Halsey. He died in 1856.
      She then married 2 William Cox, Son of Sam and Matilda Cox who was in the Civil War.
      Cannot find a marriage record on these William and Caroline, but their first child Isom was 1 year old in the 1860 census of Grayson County Virginia.
      The other children listed in the household are not Cox's they are Halsey's.
      William and Caroline had a second child they named Samuel Cox.
      Caroline is buried at the Potato Creek Cemetery as Caroline Cox. Date of Death on tombstone is 12/15/1869
