Didn't realise men in late 40's and early 50 years of age were drafted in WW11, but then I was only 6 years old in 1939.

Jim, I didn't even look at the "updated" date...keeping my fingers crossed it is active.

Norton, as mentioned previously, may be incorrect.

Found more information:
Lake County, Ohio Corrected and Delayed Birth Index, Con - Cz
Northrop, Harry and Sidney Cox are mentioned
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohlake/
Use the above site, type "Cox" and look for the Lake County site, as mentioned above.

Lake County, Ohio Birth Records Transcription: Coli - Conneq
Also has Cox names

You might want to check the other sites, in case there may be more connections.

Looks like Henry George's wife was Ann Jones.
