The family name Cox, i. e., usually originates from a nickname, as do Bird, Finch, Sparrow, from the cock, male of the hen kind. John le Cok and Henry le Cok are found in Kirby's Quest, Somersetshire, A. D. 1327. The armorial bearings blazoned herewith are those recorded by Burke for Cox of Herefordshire, branches of which family settled in Ireland.
Several Cox families settled in Ireland under Cromwell and Charles II. Henry and William Cox received grants under the Acts of Settlement, 1661-65. Among the officers of 1649 were James, Richard, Walter and William Cox, and Nathaniel Cox was included in the decree of the Innocents under Cromwell. The Rev. Samuel Cox, a Presbyterian, was chosen chaplain of the Convention in Dublin, in February, 1660, when Coote had, with Presbyterian support, taken Dublin castle and become master of Ireland for Charles II. The Cox and Coxe families are English, and not confined to Ulster, in which they settled later than the general Plantation of Ulster, and in Londonderry County, which was first settled by the London trade associations, but mostly from the time of Cromwell to about 1700.
