I'm (still) trying to find Gardner Wilcox's parents. My hunch is that he is connected somehow to William Wilcox of North Stonington, CT and the line that goes to Edward Wilcox. Gardner N. Wilcox (Willcox) Born 5-20-1825 in New York (but where?) Died 12-27-1883 in Preston, CT (buried in Poquetanuck, CT) Blacksmith (on 1868 Beers map in Poquetanuck, Preston, CT) Son of: Gardner Wilcox and Nabby Eccleston (married December 1815 per Norwich Courier) Married: 1) Hannah Spicer, born 4-22-1829, died 9-16-1859 Daughter of Eldridge Spicer and Lydia G. Stanton of Noank, CT Children: Ellen Wilcox (age 10 mo. in 1850 census - is the E. in Josephine "Ellen" or is this another child?) Josephine E. Wilcox, born 1849, died 1881 Married Edward N. Steere Ervaett W. Wilcox born 1858 died 7-8-1863 (age 5) Married: 2) Emeline Spicer, born 5-20-1842, died 8-2-1883 (age 41) Daughter of Eldridge Spicer and Lydia G. Stanton Married about 1861 Children: William Gardner Wilcox, born 8-20-1862, Died 8-2-1897(age 34) Poquetanuck, CT Charles N. Wilcox, born 3-10-1866 Died 1-30-1867 age 10 months, 17 days Married: 3) Hattie E. Hall, born 9-1850, died 12-17-1879 (died age 29, Gardner was 54) She was age 17 in 1867 She is buried with a son aged 9 weeks. Nabby (Abigail) Eccleston (Gardner N. Wilcox's mother) Born 11-30-1797? (where?) (age 20 in 1818) Died (when? where?) Married December 1815 Gardner Wilcox Daughter of Ichabod Eccleston, Jr. and Ruth Geer (Ichabod died in Sackett's Harbor, NY 12-26-1814 War of 1812) Married 12-22-1787 Sister Rebecca Eccleston (born before 1796 in Norwich) married Stephen Wilcox (son of ?) Gardner Wilcox Born Died Son of Both Gardner Wilcox and Ruth Eccleston (Nabby's mother) appear in the 1820 and 1822 Griswold censuses only. They are not in any other census in NY, CT, or RI. I found their marriage announcement in the December 1815 Norwich Courier. Also married the same day were Nabby's sister Lucinda Eccleston (married William Eccleston) and Persia, Persis, Pamela (?) (difficult to read) Eccleston (married Park Woodward). I know there were several other Gardner WIlcox's in CT, NY, RI, and Nova Scotia, but none match up with what I know to be true. People from Preston went to Beekman, NY, Minisink, NY and Preston and Norwich, NY. Any help or possible clues would be appreciated. Marcia Richardson
