Jacob Cox, a resident of St. John's Township, came to Harrison County in the fall of 1854, and may well be called a pioneer of the van-guard.

Mr. Cox was born in Montgomery County, Ohio August 26, 1820, and is the son of Abraham and Lydia Cox. His father died in Indiana in about 1848, and his mother in 1838. He arrived in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, October 2, 1852, having been six weeks on the road. He remained in Potawattamie County long enough to raise one crop then moved to Harrison County.
