Hello, I have heard of the name Willcoxen, Willcoxin, Willcoxon. Sounds English to me.. Many people couldn't read or write and were the at the mercy of others. Then other's shortened it to Wilcox. In German female surnames the en or in at the end meant that they were unmarried. Nothing on the German Regiment book however, there are some in the DAR Patriot Index published by then in 1966. WILCOXSON, includes WILCOXEN: Daniel from NC, Elnathan from CT, Ephraim John from CT, Jesse from MD, John from MD, John from VA, John from MD. I n the book Pioneers of the Old Monocacy; The Early Settlers of Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743 by Tracey and Dern. They have John Sr., John Jr., Thomas, and William. Do you want the information on any of these names? Please let me know. Helen > Hi Helen, > I'm not sure of the origin of the name Wilcoxon but I've looked everywhere > else for information on it.

Helen, if you have time in your book that you mentioned for look ups "Pioneers of the Old Monocacy Frederick County Maryland" By any chance do you see a Butcher-that is a surname not profession. I am looking for a John Butcher and wife Sophia but will take any one with the surname of Butcher if you are willing to share.
