Possible 1st Wife of Philip Anglin (b. 1742 Virginia) Married 2nd to Frances Col
Philip Anglin, born 20 December 1742 in Albemarle Co., Virginia, married Frances "Franky" Colman Cox, born 24 July 1762, the daughter of Frederick Cox and Mildred "Milly" Estes. The marriage took place about 1785.Phillip Anglin's 1833 Henry Co., Virginia, will listed his wife Franky and the following children:
1.Armine Anglin (Goolsby) b. abt. 1787.She married Charles Goolsby on 15 April 1805 in Henry Co., Virginia.
2.John Anglin b. abt 1793. He married Elizabeth Little abt. 1820.
3.Nancy Ann Anglin (Webb) b.5 March 1796.She marriedWilliam Webb on 11 March 1813 in Henry County.
4.Philip Anglin b. abt. 1797. He married Parthenia E Mills 12 March 1841.
5.Robert Anglin b. abt. 1799. He married Clarissa Rives Bottom.
6.William Anglin b. abt. 1802.He married Elizabeth Sewell on 17 January 1828.
The widow Frances Anglin was on the 1840 census in Henry Co. in the 70-79 age category and was on the 1850 census in Henry Co. at age 88 living with her son William Anglin. This fits with her birth in 1762.
Given the almost 20 year difference in age between Philip and Franky, it is possible Franky was a second wife, but there is no indication of that in the will.
Many online family trees show this Philip Anglin married abt. 1761 to a Francinia Coleman Cox born 1747 (still listed as the daughter of Frederick Cox and Mildred "Milly" Estes.)Those family trees always show a daughter Judith Anglin, b. abt. 1765 in Amherst Co., Virginia, who married Francis K. Wood. Some also show Adrian Anglin b.1761; and Philip Anglin b. 1767.But, if the latter children actually were Philip Anglin's children, Franky Coleman Cox wasn't their mother.
I am descended from Mary Cox (Vernon), b. 3 Jul 1773, the younger sister of Frances "Franky" Coleman Cox.Franky's name and birth date are known in the Cox family.She was listed as Franky Coleman Cox in her grandfather John Cox's 1764 will and she was either Franky Anglin or Frances Anglin, married to Philip Anglin, in her mother's 1837 estate.She was also Frances on the 1840 and 1850 censuses. There is no evidence that Franky was actually named Francinia.I suspect that name has been attached to her because Judith Anglin Wood named a daughter Francinia and Franky could be a nickname for Francinia.
Does anyone know the names of Judith Anglin Wood's parents?
If Philip Anglin (b. 1742) did have a first wife, does anyone know her name?
