A Medford tax Payer.
Lemuel Cox, the Bridge builder and inventor. by Walter Kendall Watkins, Malden.
[Read before the Medford Historical Society, Monday, February 19, 1906.]
JOHN Cox, born, as he states in a deposition, on the east shore of the Kennebec River, just previous to King Philip's War, came later to Dorchester, where he married Susanna Pope and settled.
At Dorchester was born his son William, who married in 1716, Thankful Maudsley, and had a numerous family, among whom was Unite Cox, born in 1723, who married Lydia Falkner, and settled in Malden, becoming the ancestor of those of the name still living in Malden.
