Representative Jacob Dolson Cox

Jacob Dolson Cox (born October 27, 1828) was a Republican politician who represented Ohio’s 6th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Serving as a member of the U.S. House from October 15, 1877, to March 3, 1879, he completed a single term in Congress. During this period, he was part of Ohio’s federal delegation at a time of post–Civil War reconstruction and political realignment, though specific committee assignments are not listed in the available record.

Cox held the formal role of Representative and is recorded as a former officeholder, with his service confined to that one term in the Forty-fifth Congress. His tenure in Congress was associated with the Republican Party, reflecting the party’s prominence in Ohio politics during the late nineteenth century. Further details about his legislative initiatives, professional background outside Congress, or later life are not provided in the available metadata.
