As to a post by Kathryn Weiss buckeye@wildblue.net about John WILCOX: "I think the John Wilcox is Boone-related, but whether Sr or Jr I cannot say. What happened to Abraham Creason and John Wilcox? They were declared outlaws but were not listed among the pardoned, and were not executed." ********************************** I found the following?at Ancestry.com?in the "History of North Carolina, Chapter LXIII, Randolph County" where it mentions Herman HUSBANDS and John WILCOX. "Resolved, That the lands said to be the property of Herman Husbands, on which there is pit-coal, hearthstone, &c., be purchased or otherwise secured for the use of the public. "Resolved, That if John Wilcox and William England refuse to part with the mortgaged premises, it will be necessary to make a new agreement with them. "Resolved, If they will neither sell nor lease, that they be precluded from using any ore or timber from the vacant land of the State adjacent." *********************************** There was a marriage record for George Willcockson and Elizabeth Beam on 20 Oct. 1767 in Rowan County, NC where George BOONE and John WILCOCKSON were the bondsmen. Someone else mentioned that the Regulator and Outlaw John WILCOX mentioned in Kathryn's post?may have been the John WILCOXSON (WILCOCKSON?) of Rowan County.

Pat, It says, "From the journal of the Congress of Halifax, 1776, Dec. 23d, I find the following:--", so it must have been in 1776 that they were talking about.

I am interested in this English family. Does anyone on the list know if there is a relationship between any of the English families of that area and any of the Harrell families of western NC?? I have found a 25 marker DNA match between an English descendant and my Harrell line, some of whom settled in that part of NC.

This John Wilcox is my gg...uncle. His sister Mary married John Montgomery. John's father was Thomas Willcox (the usual spelling was with two "l"s), who had one of the first paper mills in America. For more information, see "Historical Southern Families" Vol. I, "KENDRICK of GLOUCESTER CO., VA, and NORTH CAROLINA", by B. C. Holtzclaw, and "Ivy Mills 1729-1866, Willcox and Allied Families" by Joseph Willcox (1911), which is available on-line at HeritageQuest. John Willcox died in Richmond County, NC in 1793 so is only slightly connected to Rowan.
