COX - COOR FAMILY CEMETERY

Cox/Coor graveyard uncovered and cleared by Mr. Seaton Howell on his property some 7 miles west of Goldsboro on the North side of Highway 70 West, Goldsboro, Wayne County, North Carolina.  Mr. Howell has very graciously cleared and made visible the headstones in this cemetery, which had been neglected and overgrown for many years.  He also gave me permission to look at and transcribe the headstones, and has no objection to my posting this transcription on this Wayne County GenWeb site.  Many of the graves are of the children and some grandchildren of Edmund Coor (1811-1895) and Anna Maria Cox Coor (1817-1880), who was his first wife.  Also buried here are the second wife of Edmund Coor, Adrianna (Ada) Hooks (1859-1923) and her second husband, Lonnie Dale (1867-1950).
