See, here's where one problem is, everything I've read links the two older boys, Daniel & Samuel, sons of Daniel(2) Wilcox b. 1632/33, to Daniel(2)'s unknown 1st wife. (I'm using the 2 here because we've got Daniel>Edward>Daniel). References: Mayflower Families in Progress, Francis Cooke of the Mayflower and His Descendents for 4 Generations, p. 9; and NEHGR Vol. 147 pp 188-191, specifically 191. So you've got Daniel(2)>Samuel>Jeremiah>Samuel m. Comfort SEABURY>Samuel Jr.>Seabury. If that's the line, I need to gracefully bow out, because I only have Jeremiah m. Mary COLLINS and then my information on that line stops. But I'd still like to know who January WILCOX is! Is this another case of cousins marrying cousins? My husband (he's the WILCOX) is his own 9th cousin! I swear I'm going to start a One Name Study, just to keep straight which WILCOX line married into which! We've got the RI WILCOXes, the CT WILCOXes, (not apparently related) and I just got some information on a John WILCOX as one of the "Puritan Immigrants" in MA. Which just complicates matters more! Is he related? Where did he come from? Does this mean the MA WILCOXes *aren't* related to the RI WILCOXes? I'll be watching for the answers!
