Janet and any one interested. I am interested in your Oliver Wilcox but I dont think I can shed any light on the situation. My Ira Wilcox b 1778- New York d 1825 23 Aug in Madrid St Lawrence New York and his father is said to be Oliver Wilcox also of New York but I dont know where at this point. I wonder if your Oliver was named after a father with the name of Oliver and my Ira could be a brother to your Oliver. Ira married Nancy Robinson 2 Sept 1809 in New York. She went to Michigan-not sure if Ira ever did since he died in New York. Their children Lydia, Alma, Almond,Thurstain,Ira Jr,Zeri(my line) ended up in Jackson Co Michigan. The naming pattern doesnt seem to reflect yours and at this point I see no possiblity of a connection but because of the time frame, the name similarity and the location I felt I should pass my info on in case in the future there is a connection.
