The reason that I am including this is there seems to be a Garris connection with the Cox family
There were 118 slaves named Cox in the 1860 slave schedules. 8 were owned by Aaron Cox, 10 by Thomas Cox, 6 by James Cox, 6 by Louis Cox, 3 by Bryant Cox, 7 by Archibald Cox, 14 by John H Cox, 13 by William M Cox, 1 by Harriet Cox, 2 by Martha A Cox, 14 by Abram Cox,12 by Josiah Cox,6 by A B Cox, 15 by William Cox. So there is no way to trace the Cox line back any further, unless you are really really lucky to find a will, a bill of sale, a deed, or a mortgage listing Jordan. R K Hearn owned 11 slaves and 5 were owned by Henry Horn. Those are the only names close to Harin on the 1860 census. Henry Horn lived in Contentnae in 1870 so it might be from him. I just can't tell.
Black genealogy is very hard to do, because before 1870 slaves were not listed by name and didn't have a last name.
