Squire, Elijah, and Deborah's father was #11 Samuel WILLCOCKSON, nephew of famed longhunter Daniel Boone. Detailed information about Samuel, his wife, and family is on pp.38+39. Detailed information about Samuel's parents, namely Sarah BOONE (Daniel's eldest sister) and John WILLCOCKSON is on pp.11-16, and includes an 1861 letter written by Jeremiah F. WILCOXEN in Canton, Fulton Co. to Daniel Boone's biographer Lyman C. Draper. Note: 1) A "+" before the descendant's name and number, for example, "+311 Samuel Wilcoxen" indicates that there is additional information about that person in the next generation of the book. So, stay tuned while I work on posting more pages this fall. 2) The spelling of the family name changed from "Willcockson" to "Wilcoxen" at some point during their lives. This project is in progress. So far the book has been posted from the front cover through page 78, completing the first, second, third, and fourth generations, PLUS all illustrations from the book are now posted.
