Or there's the Non-Conformist possibility.
Also, I wonder if he 'acquired' his middle name later in life. Most of my ancestors of the period (working class) had one first name.
Looking further out from Sidbury, there is a John Cox baptised in 1785 to a Mary Cox (single woman) in Farway. I have not investigated further.
Did he marry in Devon or London?
