I'm sorry I wish that I could have been of some help finding your family member. This James M. Cox is actually my g-grand father James Madison Smith Cox (Cocke, Cokes). He was the son of Jester Cocke. He and his older brother Samuel were both Sgts. in the Arkansas 33rd Inf. Regt. and the 12th AR inf Regt.
