Wait, wait wait! Which Stephen had a first wife? Is January Wilcox related? If so, how? And how did we get Samuel married to Comfort SEABURY? What I've got is: Stephen WILCOX, b.1/10/1707/08 Dartmouth, Bristol, MA, m. 1/27/1729/30 Mary THOMAS. Stephen died 1778. Children: Martha Wilcox b. Abt 1731 Phoebe Wilcox b. 1736-1740 Tyler Wilcox b. 1741 Micajah Wilcox b. 1743 Stephen Wilcox b. ? William Wilcox b. January 06, 1751/52 Mary Wilcox b. ? Then I've got: Stephen WILCOX, b.5/28/1707 in Dartmouth, Bristol, MA, m. 7/10/1731 Mary RICKETSON, who had the children you describe. This Stephen also died in 1778. (Hmmm) But I've got Stephen's son Samuel married to Elizabeth GODDARD, and I don't have a Samuel Jr in that line. The first Stephen mentioned is the son of Stephen WILCOX (b. abt 1668 in Dartmouth, Bristol Co., MA) and Susanna BRIGGS. Stephen is the son of Daniel WILCOX (b. 3/4/1632/33) by Elizabeth COOKE. The second Stephen mentioned is the son of Daniel WILCOX (b. 1680 Dartmouth, Bristol Co., MA) and Sarah Unk. Daniel is the son of Daniel WILCOX (b. 1656 in Portsmouth, RI) and Hannah COOK, who is Daniel WILCOX's (b. 3/4/1632/33) son by his unknown first wife, before he married Elizabeth COOKE. These 2 Stephens would be half 1st cousins once removed. Unless Hannah COOK (dau. of John COOK and Sarah Unk.) is indeed related to Elizabeth COOKE also, in which case the relationship gets *more* complicated. Anyway, I've got a Stephen having the children you describe, but he's not the Stephen who married Mary THOMAS (1st *OR* 2nd). And, according to my info, his son Samuel didn't marry Comfort SEABURY, or have a son Samuel. So, which one was married to January WILCOX, where does *she* fit in, what happened to Mary RICKETSON and where does Comfort SEABURY come in? Either way, we get back to Edward, but *I'm* all confused now! ;-) Marsha Wilcox [email protected] Home Page -- http://www.mall.lnd.com My Genealogy Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/1616/ USGenWeb County Coordinator for: Lake Co., IL -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~illake/ Oconto Co., WI -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/ Shawano Co., WI -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~wishawan/ [email protected] wrote: >[email protected] wrote > >> I have traced my grandmothers's relatives (Wilcox) through original records >> in Westport, MA to a Seabury Wilcox b. 27 Sept 1801.
