Juniejoy: Thanks for the "clues" or sources that you sent me. I will try to check them out. The William Wilcox; I am researching is the William Wilcocks who resided in Nelson County, KY from 1782 to-1801. In 1799 he made a deposition to Nelson County in which he stated he was about 55 years old - thus he was born about 1744. Since I have no better leads - I have been looking at all the William Wilcox's I can find born in 1744. The son of William Wilcox and Thankful York satisfies the criteria - so I posted a query to the board to see if someone knew who he married and if he had children. Pretty poor lead but better than nothing!!!! Thanks again for the leads. Charley F. Wilcox
