I did a Yahoo search and found this:

I wonder if the archivists were looking in the wrong county and using the wrong name. I'm one county over from Carroll County and there are Coxes all over the place. Someone might want to send this info to the Monocacy Battlefield.

My great, great granddaddy, Elijah S Davis of the 6th Alabama Inf, fought in this battle and, according to my grandmother, my GGGF told my granddaddy when he was a little boy about how cold the Monocacy river was when and his fellow Confederates waded it.
