Coxe Family
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.

Party Games
Much of late-nineteenth-century American politics was parade and pageant. Voters crowded the polls, and their votes made a real difference on policy. In Party Games, Mark Wahlgren Summers tells the full story and admires much of the political carnival, but he adds a cautionary note about the dark recesses: vote-buying, election-rigging, blackguarding, news suppression, and violence. Summers also points out that hardball politics and third-party challenges helped make the parties more responsive. Ballyhoo did not replace government action. In order to maintain power, major parties not only rigged the system but also gave dissidents part of what they wanted. The persistence of a two-party system, Summers concludes, resulted from its adaptability, as well as its ruthlessness. Even the reform of political abuses was shaped to fit the needs of the real owners of the political system--the politicians themselves.
