Sharon,
Forgot your question "Why did Coxes go to America?" A good one because they seemed to be well off in England. I can only surmise that it had to do with grabbing up some New World goodies. William, age 12, traveled with Elizabeth, probably his sister, and her husband Robert West. Robert was the brother of Thomas West, "Third Lord De La Warr" who also made the trip.Sir Henry Coxe of Broxburn, Herfordshire was likely the father of Elizabeth and William. Find more in "NOTES" under "Descendants of William Coxe." (Rootsweb/Cox cuz).
