Found the following article in Nemaha County Part 38, Cutler's History of Kansas thought maybe it might help someone. Edith [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3540 W. T. WILCOX, farmer, P. O. Wetmore, was born in Wilson County, Mo., and early left an orphan; he lived during his boyhood near Palyra, Mo., and one year in Mississippi, later residing on the Platte Purchase in Missouri. He came in 1854 to Kansas, and lived two years on Stranger Creek, then in 1856 settled on Straight Creek, Jackson County. He was reared in Missouri by a family named Elliott, and one of this family, Jesse Elliott, located with him on Straight Creek, in 1858. Other settlers there were Robert Mitchell, Thomas Davis, A. B. Owen, and J. Sneider, or Snyder. Mr. Wilcox was one of the first married here, as he and Lucretia F. Green were united by Squire, Afterward Rev., Abner Channell, February 24, 1858. His wife Lucretia died May 23, 1872, and he was married March 20, 1873 to Cassandra M. Morgan, who died February 17, 1876, and he was married to his present wife, Sarah W. Tinemore, February 15, 1877. By his first wife, Lucretia, he has three children, James E., Susan J and Jesse G.; by his present wife, Sarah, he has three children, Minnie J., Julie M and Joanna M. During the Rebellion Mr. Wilcox served as a volunteer in the Eleventh Kansas(see history of the same on another page in this volume), and has since been a resident of Nemaha and Jackson counties, and is now farming on Elk Creek.
