Personal Notes:

The children listed represent three sets of parents; Oliver Cox and Ann had four children, Margaret, John, Bridget and Ann; then it seems that Oliver died and Joseph married Ann and they had four children Eliza, Isabella, Catherine and William; two children and Ann, their mother died on the voyage to Australia. Joseph, with six children, then married Mary in Sydney and they proceeded to have nine children. John Cox, born 1823 held ‘Pulletop’ and ‘North East Mangoplah’; Richard, born 1848 held ‘Livingstone Gully’ and ‘Mt Peter’. Historical reference for this family is A R Wilkinson's, ‘The Cox Family at Livingstone Gully 1847-1907’ (UNE Master of Litt. These 1985.) held by CSU Library, Wagga Wagga. Two entries have been made for Joseph Cox because there are discrepancies in the children’s information from two sources.

- Notes: Joseph Cox had been a passenger on the Lady McNaughton and his wife had dled during the voyage. Travelling with the Cox family were two girls, Mary and Margaret Maloney. Joseph Cox married Mary Moloney in 1837 and a daughter (Margaret) was born at Gobaralong in 1838. Margaret Cox married James Gormly 1n 1858 and they were married for nearly 59 years. At least four of her brothers settled in the Murrumbldgee area. Joseph Cox grew some wheat at Gobaralong in 1838 and this is considered to be the first crop of wheat grown in the Murrumbidgee district. Joseph Cox and his family moved from Gobaralong to Brungle Creek in the Tumut valley in 1839. They then moved to the Wagga district in 1846 and this family still have many decendants in the area.

- Notes: My father and mother were married in 1838 and soon after my father took the management of a cattle station on the Murrumbidgee River. When he arrived on the station there were Government men there, consigned as workmen by the authorities, and the manager took charge of the men in addition to the station and the stock, part of his duties were to keep the men at work and see that they were safely locked up in the hut provided for them. This was done at six in the evening and opened each morning after the men had breakfast. My father noticed that the hut had a bark roof and no ceiling. Therefore it would be easy for the men to remove a sheet of bark and escape. So my father spoke to the convicts and asked them to promise not to escape and he would not lock the door. The men gave him the promise and during the term of his management of the station he never locked the door. He found the men obedient and industrious and willing to assist him in every way.
