Title: Jacob COX of Basingstoke 1792 Bible
Post by: Dizzy Escape on Tuesday 21 June 22 18:12 BST (UK)

I have a large old bible in which a Jacob Cox has inscribed his name very beautifully: "Jacob Cox - HIS BOOK - Basingstoke - January 1792."
I'd be interested in contacting anyone who may be descended from this gentleman, in case they would like to have this family heirloom

Thank you so much. I've found the Coxes of Basingstoke on Ancestry, so perhaps I should try to contact them directly too.

Hi  I have just come across your message. My 5th great grandfather was this Jacob Cox, born in Sherborne St John and lived in Basingstoke. His wife was Sarah Foyle and his eldest son was Abraham.Both Jacob and Abraham were tailor/drapers in Basingstoke.

Do you still have the bible?
