Preston Cumberland Cox, is an interesting story. His father a Cox, mother Dica Quesenberry who had 5 children but was never married. Generally, children of such a union would retain their mother’s surname but Preston chose to use the Cox surname. This MAY indicate his father maintained a connection with Preston. Story goes, Preston was 1st cared for by a Hylton family until they moved to Indiana. Next was with an Asa W. & Julia Ann (Slusher) Harman family that raised him to adulthood. Whether he was “legally” adopted or not, Preston kept the surname of Cox but maintained his relationship with his foster parents, living near them & was even the “Informant” on their death certificates. Their file is where you’ll find more information on Preston & his family. [Harman_JacobS_Sophia]

Barbara spent 30 years in the D.C. area, partnering to build multiple successful businesses, but she rather enjoyed her second career at Roanoke Antique Mall. Her caring and generosity will truly be missed.
