Bev, NEHGR Vol.147, pp. 188-19, gives Edward's lineage as: Daniel WILCOX + Isabell/Esabell ?. They lived in (North &) South Elkington, Lincolnshire, Eng., at least from 1591 to 1606. In 1605, Daniel WILCOX died, and in 1606 Isabell/Esabell married a Robert PASTORN/WESTERN Edward (bp 2/12/1603/4) m. Mary ?. They had 1 child & Mary apparently died in childbirth, since she was buried 2 days after the child was baptized. The child died 3 months later. Edward m. Susanna Thompson 5/12/1631 in Orby, Lincolnshire, Eng. The article gives her lineage as found in the parish records of Lincolnshire. They had (as recorded in the parish records of Lincolnshire): Daniel bap. 3/4/1632/3 Stephen, bap. 12/26/1634 No other children are listed in the article, and no other children have been proven to be theirs. In 1638, Edward & Susanna were in the colonies for Edward to be present at the signing of the compact of government in RI. Now, the information I inherited -- which is obviously from a book, but contains no source; and I have not been able to find this book in my research -- says: "Edward Wilcox died, probably at Narragausett, before 1648 and, in 1653, the above Smith appears to have acted as guardian for 8 children supposed to have been those of Wilcox: Stephen, Daniel -married Nov.28, 1661 Elizabeth, daughter of John & Sarah (Warren) Cook and doubtless others." The quote refers to Richard Smith, Sr. of Gloucester, Eng. and Taunton, MA. So, Edward as the father of Mary, is possible, but not documented. Or, if documented, not discovered yet. But there *is* this single hint that Edward & Susanna had other children besides just the known Daniel & Stephen. Anybody know what book that quote is from? Happy Hunting!
