Born in Muskingum County, Ohio, Cox studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1849. Cox was elected as a Democrat from Ohio to the Thirty-fifth and to the three succeeding Congresses. Cox moved to New York in 1865 and was elected from New York to the Forty-first and Forty-second Congresses. Later, Cox was elected to the Forty-third Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James Brooks. Cox was reelected to the Forty-fourth and to the five consecutive Congresses.
