Author: hart1118 Surnames: Wilcox / Wilcoxson / Wilcockson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.barren/1770.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Yes, I have been to the cemetery and stood at the graves of Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone. I also saw the graves of Willcocksons. I am a member of the Boone Society. Living in Louisville, I have access to the Filson Historical Society. The genealogist there is also a descendant of Sarah's and John's. She introduced me to the book, "The Wilcoxsons." This book tells of William "Red" Wilcoxson (he had red hair) and the reason he was called Red was because his cousin was also named William and he was known as William "Black" Wilcoxson (he had black hair). This book also lists one of William's daughter as Rachel and that she married a John Tibbs. John died in 1836 /- and then Rachel married Emory Clymer. After she married Mr. Clymer, she and her husband lived in Hart County, KY (she lived in Barren County with Mr. Tibbs). The Hart County Court House burned, not once, but twice; destroying all the records. However, I got all the records from Glasgow (Barren County) Kentucky, showing Mr. Tibbs will, and the marriage certificate of her and Emory Clymer. I also got the transfer of property from her son, George Emory Clymer, to his half brother William J. Tibbs, when George turned 21 on his birthday, January 1, 1861. Rachel died in 1856 or 57 I can't remember which at the moment. Because he (George Emory) had inherited some of his mother's property, he could only own a portion of her land and the other portions were to be given back to her children with Mr. Tibbs. In this Wilcoxson book, my ancestors are listed. You have not told me where you live, have you? Are you relatively close to Louisville? You can check out the book there. As it is of Kentucky historical interest, I doubt you can find it outside of Kentucky. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
