The first Coxe of whom there is definite record is William Coxe of Othery, West Quantoxhead, Somersetshire, England, who married, about 1575, a daughter of Thomas Wall of Othery. Dr. Daniel Coxe of London (ca. 1640-1730), married to Rebecca Coldham, became the founder of the interests of the Coxe family in America when he acquired grants of large tracts of land in East and West Jersey in the 1680s. Since the arrival in New Jersey in 1701 of Dr. Coxe's son, Col. Daniel Coxe, who married Sarah Eckley in 1707, the descendants of this family have been influential and distinguished in New Jersey and Pennsylvania history.
