Benjamin is related to the other Coxseys in Carrollton AR, but I am not sure exactly what his relationship was. My grandmother Gertrude Maples Powell in a letter date 1967 states that brothers Ben, Andrew (Andy) and Taylor (Pat) Coxsey came to Carroll Co. AR in 1869 and that Ben was the oldest. I suspect that Benjamin Coxsey was a Uncle to Andrew and Taylor. I do not think they were brothers.
