The fifth child born to Guttridge and Elizabeth Cheatham and also an ancestor of mine was:

5.Patience Cheatham (#177 member of Moriah Church) first married a Cox (first name unknow) and they had one son, Odom Cox.

It appears that Patience Cheatham's first husband may have been Gillman Cox.From Book B, page 117, Edgefield Co., South Carolina, we find the following estate records for Sollomon Cox, Dec'd.

Real estate sold 1846.

Distributees 1/9 equal to$4.33.

1.Odum Cox, dec'd.

2.Calvin Cox.

3.children of Nancy Ford.

4.Peggy Cook.

5.Odom Cox, son of Gillman Cox (Gillman must be dead).

6.Robert Burton wife Martha.

7.Catherine Cox.

8.Sally Cox.

9.Elizabeth Cox.

Deed gift, 3/29/1847 from Calvin Cox and wife Patsy of Copeck Co., Ms. to Miss Sarah Cox of Edgefield Dist.Love and affection for "sister", their interest in share of dec'd. brother, Odum Cox.

Thus Odum Cox, dec'd. was not the father of Odom Cox, a son of Patience Cheatham Cox.

Patience's second husband was Robert McCoy, a brother of Joseph McCoy #78 and John McCoy #94.Patience and Robert McCoy lived in the Antioch Church area.Robert died before 1850.Patience was born c. 1810 died in May 1860 and Odom Cox was named as administrator of her estate.Patience was sick for four days.The cause of her death was unknown.From the 1860 Mortality Schedule Patience was a "Fench-Maker". Her property was in Sections 29 and 32 of Township 11 Range 15 and was to be sold on December 22, 1860.This property was north and northeast of Antioch East Baptist Church.Julia McCoy #210 was a daughter of Patience and Robert McCoy. 

The estate of Patience Cheatham Cox McCoy, 12/3/1866, contained Confederate Treasury Notes valued at $4,562.08 with interest of $1,885.15.See Vol. 8 of the Estate Records.More on the estate will follow at the end of this chapter.
