Hello, Listers. On the Wilcox list recently there has been several messages regarding WILCOXES in the Minisink area of NY. Here's my two cents worth: From Portrait and Biographical Record of Orange County, NY, NY & Chicago, Chapman Publ. Co. 1895, page 1116: "Samuel H. Wilcox, architect, and formerly engaged in contracting and building, has planned and erected some of the finest buildings in Middletown. (i.e., NY) He was born in the town of Le Roy, Bradford County, Pa., June 14, 1828. his father, Samuel Wilcox, was born in the town of Minisink, as was in all probability his grandfather, Nathan Wilcox, who was engaged in farming in that town. Samuel Wilcox, the father, was a sawyer, and in early life located in Bradford County, Pa., where he died in the prime of life... He married Mary Moore, who was born near Goshen, and was a daughter of James Moore, who was also born at that place. She died in Pennsylvania, at the age of fifty years. Of their family of four boys and two girls, only three are now living. After the death of Samuel Wilcox, the mother married again, and by her second marriage had two sons." Samuel the son married into my Overton family of Orange County, NY. Can anyone add anymore to this, especially about Samuel the father and his father Nathan? Who was Nathan's wife? Does this help anybody? Beth C. St. Paul, MN
