Charley, This certainly sounds like the same Isaac as that is the birthdate that my GGAunt had written down for her grandfather. She states in her letter that she couldn't trace back any farther because her grandfather didn't remember his parents or know anything about them. I definitely will get my hands on that book and maybe open some new doors. My cousin is out of town so I'll have to wait to see if she has anything in her mother's papers. Thanks for all the help listmates. << Now you have me wondering?????? Could your Isaac have been a son of William Willcocks of Nelson Co., KY.?? Wulfeck's book say Isaac was born 15 Dec. 1794 and you say his father died when Isaac was 7 years of age - that would work out (1794 + 7) to 1801. That is the year William Willcocks died in Nelson Co., KY. >>
