Since things are slow perhaps it's a good time for a question. Does anyone have any information on the Thomas Jaycock (Jacocks) family of Morris? He was born in England but don't know when the family came to the US only that they were in Otsego county ca 1840. Thomas is alleged to have had a sister, Elizabeth (Betsey), who married Edson Signor (second wife) ca 1840 in Cortland County. Any responses appreciated. Mary

Oh Goodness Mary, I have some information on Thomas Jaycocks. I am researching Jaycox from Ca. Your Thomas and family are buried near New Berlin. I have to go out this morning but I can go through my notes this afternoon and I even have pictures [thanks to Elaine Decker on this list] of his grave site and some census information. I am looking for a possible connection between your Thomas and a Charles Edward Jaycox. Oh in New Berlin the spelling of his name is Jacox. We seem to think he has a connection to another Jacox group who went to Ohio and wound up in Ca. as did my Charles. I will be in touch this afternoon. marilyn Mary Dobard wrote: >Since things are slow perhaps it's a good time for a question. >Does anyone have any information on the Thomas Jaycock (Jacocks) family of Morris?

Hi Mary, I haven't forgotten you. I am looking through all of my messages. So far, this is the earliest message I have located pertaining to Thomas Jacox. I have to go back and check my census information. I may have him earlier there. The Jacox, Jaycox' that I wrote to you this morning about were in the New Berlin, Butternuts area. William and John primarily. There is an African Am. Thomas Jacox who is buried in an African Am cem in Pittsfield or Plainsfield. I can't remember all of the nuances of why but we think that your Thomas may have been part of the abolitionist movement in that area, helping people get from N.Y. to Ohio.
