Missouri and could not sign.

Was in the 1820 census in Pulaski County, KY, but not in the 1830 census. It is assumed he died between those years, as Prudence is listed as the head of household in the 1830 census with 4 sons and 3 daughters.

Also in the 1820 census for Pulaski County, KY are the households of Ezekiel, Jacob, James P. and Robert Cox. In the 1810 census, Elias is not listed, but Allen and James are in Pulaski County and Amy and Jesse are in Wayne Co.
