As a followup to my first post and to the replies received, very recently I was given my WILCOX line to research by a cousin - along with her "notes." She believes our line may be descended from William Wilcockson. Following is from the notes: >From a book: "Wilcox Family History" Being some of the First Five Generations in Direct Line from WILLIAM WILCOCKSON of Stratford, Connecticut, to JOSIAH WILCOX of Brecksville, Ohio; compiled by Owen N. Wilcox, Cleveland, Ohio August 1911 (Owen N. Wilcox quotes Orcutt's "History of Stratford"): William Wilcockson 34 and his Wife Margaret 24, their 2 yr old son John, arrived in America from England 20 April 1635 on the ship Planter and settled in Concord, Mass. They became the founders of Stratford, Conn. His will dated May 1651 left a widow and 5 sons. Children: 1.John abt 1633 2.Timothy 3.Joseph - father of Killngworth, CT Wilcoxes 4.Samuel of Simsbury, deputy of Gen'l Court of Hartford sons: Samuel, William, Joseph, Obediah of Guilford Obediah - 1775 designated planter at Guilford. His plantation known as Menukatuck. Married 1.Mary, 2.Lydia 3.Silence Children: Mary 1676 Lydia 1678 Obediah 1679 Ebenezer 1682 Ephriam Mindwell Timothy 1690 Silence John 1692 Joseph 1694 Janna Jemima 1699 Thankful 1701 Hope the above is of help to someone. If anyone is inspired to look for the book, it should have more of the lines than the notes. Kathy
