From Andre Mostert about the Jasper Alexander Cox and Eliza Augusta Duncan History:
My sister Trudy wrote this short article about our Cox/Duncan grandparents. Our mother Dora Cox had told us this story often. Also Uncle Ona wrote his own story of his father and mother which is almost identical to mother's. There is a verbal quirk in northern Missouri that pronounces an ending "a" as "i or "y". So Auda, Ona, Ina would all be pronounced as Audy, Ony, Iny. I can verify this having heard my mother and her brothers and sisters saying this often. They called her (Dora) Dory. Continuing along this line, natives of the northern border with Iowa also called the state Missoura, not Missoury.Jasper married Eliza Augusta Duncan on 14 Apr 1890 in Mercer County, Missouri. Eliza (daughter of John Thomas Duncan and Mary Diana Brown) was born on 01 Aug 1868 in Mercer County, Missouri; died on 04 Mar 1924 in Mercer County, Missouri; was buried in South Lineville Cemetery.
