Mm V, \ •^ $M j <l BRAILSFORD— RESIDENCE OF WM. COX, Esq. PEDIGREE OF COX OF DERBYSHIRE. —•• npHE earliest record which can be found of the Coxes of J- Brailsford, is in an old Brailsford" Parish Register, in which is an entry to the effect that William Cox the Sohool master was buried May 18, 1712." This partly corroborates the testimony of William Cox, of Culland, w,ho left an old document, a fac simile of which is given, in which he states that his grandfather came to Brailsford as tutor to two of Lord Ferrers' sons. t Another part of his statement, that the tutor was one of three sons of William Cox, of Lea Grange, Leicestershire, does not agree with the pedigree (of which a copy is given), which William Cox, of Lea Grange, entered at the Herald's Visitation in 1683. In this pedigree it states that William Cox, of Lea Grange, had an only child, a daughter, Elizabeth, Itis wellknown that William Cox, of Cul land, often expressed the wish to re-purchase the Lea Grange estates, and the fact of his having a plan of sale of that property (see copy) proves that he had a great interest in it. The Shirleys of that day were near neighbours of the Leices tershire Coxes, and this is another significant fact. But the Probate Courts of Somerset House, Lichfield, Leicester, Bir mingham, and the Registers of Norton, .Orton, Merivale, •Bishop's and Nether Itchington, &c, have all been searched -for traces of the will of William Cox, of Lea Grange, or of the births of any children, but all without success. Unfortu nately, in three cases, some of the registers had disappeared. It seems to be very probable that Glover received the Cox •pedigree, for his History of Derbyshire, from William Cox, of Culland, who wrote his rough memo, in 1820, and Glover's -History was published iv 1838. William, of Culland, was a shrewd, clever man, and with persevering industry .he strove to retrieve his family's lost fortune.
