My William "Red" Wilcoxsen (i.e. Wilcox, Willcockson, etc.) was nick named Red because of his red hair. Usually, red headed people are fair and not dark and ruddy (what is ruddy? -- sounds ugly). So, I speak because we are Kentucky, born and bred. -----Original Message----- From: SOBPatchet@aol.com <SOBPatchet@aol.com> To: WILCOX-L@rootsweb.com <WILCOX-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, July 28, 2000 5:33 PM Subject: [WILCOX] William Wilcox > Charley, it appears that the Wilcox lines in Kentucky are heavy in the >Wilcoxson lines, not the Wilcox lines.

Darris: I do not know about my Kentucky William Wilcocks but his grandsons and great grandsons were dark complected with real black hair and some had quick and violent tempers. Charley F. Wilcox
