PROOF, JUSTIFICATION & DISCLAIMER (and possibly some wishful thinking)
This is from items found on the internet - I have no proof although the information seems consistent from several people
possible (would be nice to know for sure)
Samuel Coxe, born in Wales; died 1729 in Burlington Co., N.J.. He married Sarah Smyth http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Sandra-L-Schaefer/BOOK-0001/0021-0009.html
Sarah Smyth was the daughter of Emanuel Smyth and Sarah Willis. 
His will names three sons, the oldest being Emanuel Coxe.
In a will dated 22 Dec. 1728 in Burlington Co., NJ, Samuel named his wife Sarah, and children Emanuel, Samuel, and Benjamin. http://boards.ancestry.netscape.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=26&p=surnames.coxe
Emanuel Coxe, born Feb 07, 1722/23 in Burlington Co., N.J.; died Bet. 1780 - 1789 Cheraws District, S.C
wife: Mercy Brown, born 1738; died Aft. 1800 daughter of John Brown and Sarah Newberry http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Sandra-L-Schaefer/BOOK-0001/0021-0008.html
Before 1750 Emanuel and many other Welsh Baptists, in the Burlington area moved to the Welsh Neck region of South Carolina. In South Carolina, Emanuel Coxe received several land grants from the English government. After the Revolutionary War, Emanuel received land grants from the state of South Carolina totaling 1,085 acres. Emanuel lived on the Pee Dee River in what is now Marlboro County, South Carolina. Emanuel was married twice and according to his Bible record he had 14 children. Emanuel fought in the Revolutionary War as a 59 year old.

Line to Joseph Allen and Cox Family in Pendleton District of South Carolina  in work
It apears that a William Bartlet Cox and a William Bolen (or Bolden) Cox both lived in the Pendleton District about the same time [I needed this]
From the association with his brother into GA I believe we are related to William Bolen Cox named in the will of William, John Cox's son
Not the William Cox that is the son of Carey Cox

1815 18 Aug 1815 will of John Cox Pendleton SC (wife Sara) giving $60 each to kids: eldest William, Elizabeth Skelton, Ned (Edward), John, James, (when daughters get to age of 18) Naomi, Casiah, Delilah, Sarah (sons when 21) Tilman, Axarah, Israel, Hiram and daughter Alley (Elenor) at age18 (in file)
This John Cox died before Rev pensions were available if eligible. Rumors (said to be from estate papers): 
These first items are included here as they were labeled and put together from Will Book A page 96 (or 196?) in Old Pendleton District ( papers for this county are now located only in Anderson County. When Pickens later became a county, they were recorded there, beginning in 1828)
At the South Carolina Archives these are in Volume I, Will Book IC pages 211-213 Index page 211.
Will was made 18 August 1815 and entered into probate on 9 August 1816.
the said Sarah Cox sometime in the year 18 and (blank) united by a lawful marriage to William Cannon and lived together as man and wife until the death of William Cannon. She now carries his name and has frequently acknowledged a lawful marriage between them and has hearby forfeited her claim to any part of the estate of John Cox signed by Daniel Lewis.
1817 29 Apr 1817 note transcribed with the William Cox will - "have recd $60 left to me by my father in his last Will" each to: William Cox, John Cox, Edward Cox, Jonothan Skelton and others not legible.
I assume this was William, John, Edward and others unnamed father whos will was being settled in 1817
