| Note - Research* | The link between George as father and Anthony as son is extremely tenuous! Anthony's father might have been William, who died in 1723, or neither. The only known connection is that they all came from Woolaw at about the same time. However it is of interest to note that Anthony's first son was named George. See my research notes about Anthony (#498) and my Analysis of the Coxons of Woolaw.2,3 |

| Note - Biographical* | A note about Henry and Susannah's Ancestry. See note in Baptism record of Henry identifying their parents Isaac Coxon & Eleanor Coxon. Henry & Susannah were first cousins. Henry's mother Eleanor and Susannah's father, John, were sister and brother. They shared the same Grandparents, William Coxon and Susannah Mather. There is another Coxon line coming in on Henry's father's side, Isaac (1764) - Henry (1735) - William (1701), but as at 1/12/2006, there is no proven link between the two Coxon lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 |
| Note - Historical* | The Coxons of Coquetdale. It is appropriate to include a note here about the Coxons in Coquetdale. In the 19th century they were a numerous and probably prosperous community of farmers and millers along the banks of the river Coquet. Their spiritual home was focused on the Presbyterian church in Longframlington. Many of their records are found within its church registers, and there are some notable gravestones in the churchyard at Longframlington.
John Coxon (1841-1908) was my Great Grandfather. From him all the later generations of Coxons in my family history emanate. He was born in February 1841 at Stanton Mill several miles west of Longhorsely, and now a ruin. By the time of the 1841 census in June of the same year, only a few months old, he had moved with his father Henry and the family to Hounden mill just outside Warkworth. He seems to have spent his childhood there, (he is listed in the 1851 census), but by 1861 at the age of 20, he had moved south and was working with his maternal uncles Robert & George on a farm just outside of Dinnington. There he met his wife, Elizabeth Bell, continued in farming, and then some time between 1881 and 1891 he moved to Newbiggin where he died in 1908.
Working back a generation, Henry (1880-1851), John's father, was born at Stanton Mill in 1800 and lived and worked there for 41 years until the Spring of 1841. Now Henry's wife Susannah was also a Coxon. In fact they were cousins, and her family was into milling in a big way. Susannah was born at Weldon Mill, on the banks of the Coquet just south of Longframlington whilst her father John (1767-1833) was miller there from about 1794 to his death in 1833. he seems to have been a very wealthy man; In his will he "left goods and chattels worth 600 pounds", a very very considerable sum of money in 1833!
In the same generation as Susannah and Henry, her brother William, who died aged just 32, worked at the mill at Weldon Bridge. Brother John (1798-1873) may have continued as a miller (a "John Coxon of Kirkley Mill" is recorded on a Gravestone). Brother Thomas (1799-1881) continued at Weldon Mill until the death of his father in 1833, and then continued in farming at Edlingham and Feltham. Brothers Robert & George (possibly on the strength of an inheritance) took over South East Mason Farm near Dinnington, (and were joined by nephew John as previously explained).
Moving back in time another generation Susannah's father John (1767-1833) was born at Overgrass Mill, some miles north of Felton, before moving as we have already seen, to the mill at Weldon Bridge. Amongst his brothers William (1770-1844) was miller at the Thrum mill, Rothbury, from 1807 to 1844, where he died He was a prominent member of the Presbyterian Church at Thropton. Incidentally William's son, William (1808-1839), was born and died at the Thrum mill. And yet his son, another William (1832 -), is to be found with his wife Elizabeth at Brinkburn in 1861 and at Plessey Mill, Stannington in 1871. Sister Eleanor (1770-1823) married a William Coxon and became Henry's parents, when they took over Stanton Mill. Brother Robert (1774-1851) continued at Overgrass and died nearby. Brother George (1775-1851) became an innkeeper at Alnwick.
And we can trace the milling link even further. John's father was another William (1736-1824). It is thought that he was born somewhere near Longframlington. by 1767 he fathered John at Overgrass Mill, and he seems to have remained there at Overgras until his death in 1824. Before that the family seems to have come down from Wooler.
There are other family links with mills. There are Coxons at Cartington Blue Mill just north of Thropton. And we know that William (1770) was a prominent member of the Presbyterian church at Thropton.
All these names, times and places are no doubt confusing, but enough has been said to show how prominent the Coxons were in milling circles at this time. From at least 1767 through to 1851 there were Coxons in the Coquetdale mills. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
