From Alice Doak (Mrs. Woodie Doak), March 2000:
.
Some people think Edith was a Cox. If she was the one I've located she was not the mother of all the children. Ref. Currituck Co. NC Will Bk 2, p. 21, Oct. 1792, 26 Mar. 1795 - William Miller. Wife: Daughters: Frances Miller, Uphanne Miller, EDE COX. Grandson: William Quidley. Wit: Johnathan Bright, Rebecker Kit, Aaron Bright.
[From Byron Johnson, we learn that this Ede Miller was probably the one who married Javan Cox and who moved to Tennessee.]
.
There were Hardys in the Norfolk Co. area near Backwoods. I thought
perhaps Edith might be a Hardy simply because of name Hardy [among decendants]. I haven't had an opportunity to check them as thoroughly as I'd like.

 
Deed4 Dec 1819 She was an adjacent landowner in the deed granted by Hardy Culpepper to Arthur Culpepper on 4 Dec 1819 at Currituck Co., North Carolina.
(Book 15, p. 119, Currituck Co., NC: 4 Dec 1819. Hardy Culpepper to Arthur Culpepper for $15, 1½ acres adjacent to Eady Culpepper...).2 
Deed*26 Jun 1824 A deed was granted to her by Hardy Culpepper witnessed by Warren Culpepper on 26 Jun 1824 at Currituck Co., North Carolina.
(Book 17, p. 128, Currituck Co., NC: 26 Jun 1824. Hardy Culpepper, a bond to Eady Culpepper, to support his mother. Witness: Warren Culpepper.).2
