John Cox and wife Rachel were still living as late as 8mo (Oct) 4, 1735 in Kennett, Chester County, PA.

During that time, not only did the couple receive clothing, blankets, yards of cloth and monetary assistance collected from members, the Meeting built them a house and Friends defrayed the cost: 1732, 10mo (Dec) 2: Newark Meeting held at Center: "Four of the friends above (appointed at the previous meeting held on 9mo (Nov) 4, 1732 - Abraham Marshall, Peter Collings, Wm Harvey, Ellis Lewis, Christopher William and Gayon Miller) appointed to inspect into the circumstance of the affairs of John Cox and his Wife upon the account of their necessity of relief makes report that they have taken an opportunity to inspect into it, and the find they have necessity of a house to Live in and they have ordered one to be built which is not yet perfected Therefore it is left to the next monthly meeting where the above sd friends are desired to take Care and bring up an account of the Charge thereof in order that it may be defrayed". There were 3 combined meetings, held alternately at different places, attended by the same group of members: Newark, Kennet and Centre, all in then New Castle County. There was a different group of members that attended the combined meetings of Concord, Chichester and New Garden, with London Grove added later, in then Chester County. Different meetings, different groups of people, although both groups held members of the surname Cox (but from different original locations). :-) Claudia

Sorry - I may have made a typo in the information I sent you…
"The friends above appointed to take care of John Cox and wife reports that they have taken an opportunity with them and assisted them as far as they at that time san: (?) they had oration".

It should have been —…as far as they at that time can; they had oration“. From the Minute entry, it appears that —taken an opportunity“ and —had oration“ means that the members appointed discussed the matter with the couple. Thanks - Claudia
