1870 johnstown, fulton co
Wm P Wilcox 33
Josephine Wilcox 22
Henry P Wilcox 6/12
so they wed prob 1866-1870
found josephines fathers obit, henry bedford, son of david- henry born in johnstown, so it would be reasonable to assue that they were wed there. henry was methodist. may have come from england but not josie or her father as u state her funeral book shows.
most records still not online. but try this
https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Fulton_County,_Ne...
has link to church records-sadly they only go back to 1877

it is also poss wm not born johnstown, or even fulton co.-

his 1915 obit with photo (i posted for u 17 march 2010! weird!http://boards.ancestrylibrary.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=...) -not listing parents or siblings, says he was in the civil war. he should have pension records. . he was a musician, 12th ny infantry- 30 ap 1861- 9 july 1861 -chronic diarrhea (1890 veterans census)his obit mentions his music . hopefully he applied for pension and had to list his parents, birth place -something. u once thought he was from mohawk- have u new clues disputing that?
wish i couldve found the answer, but not yet!

William Pendleton Wilcox, Syr. NY.

My greatgr.was William Pendleton Wilcox who lived in Syracuse most of married life, married to Josephine Bedford Wilcox and had a cigar factory...cigars named "William Penn". He was born in Johnstown, NY. but I can't find his parents in the genealogy. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Annie

Arthur B. Wilcox. in 1910 census

anniedearest — 2012-05-02 14:25:21Z

I cannot find him in the 1910 census. There is one married to Anna, but that shows the father as Frank. I am looking for the one that has William Penndleton Wilcox as the father, or with a different wife other than Helen in either Syracuse area, or Johnstown Ny. area. Anybody have a clue here?
Thanks,
Annie

Russ,

This will help quite a bit. Rosanna "Zaney" "Zanie" Straight has so many spellings for her last name- Straight/Strait. She is harder to find.
I will try to find Edward Wilcox and work top down to find the rest of his family.
Thank you so much for your interest.

This is a giant family puzzle on the kitchen table isn't it?

This was found in Marth Scott Osborne's publication, Wilcox/Wilcoxson Families of New England and Their Descendants, page 404.
"Harvey G -b 1799 RI; m Zannie Straight; Ref: Nutmegger v7 #3 p430"
Most of the Rhode Island Wilcox's are descendants of Edward Wilcox who immigrated to the colonies (Rhode Island) in the 1638. I hope this helps. Regards, Russ Wilcox

Re: Elisha Wilcox - Butler's Rangers

mperrin681 — 2012-04-22 09:08:50Z

I have a Great Great Grandfather named David Henry Wilcox. He was born about 1828 and he married Hannah Jane Miller in Yates County New York. H died in 1910 in Stearns County, Minnesota. His death record says father unknown and mother was "Halock" or "Halouk". Some census say he was born in Pennsylvania and others say New York. Anyone recognize this combination? He was in the Civil War in the 148th Illinois Infantry.
Thanks, Maxine

Hello Russell,

I am searching for parents of Harvey G. Wilcox born in RI 1799...any clues? This family ended up in MI. I found a Lydia living with him who could be his mother in one census.

I loved your story and sleuthing!
Nice work.

Please email me direct at POMALL123@aol.com
I am connected to this Wilcox family thru Edward who married Jane Monroe and moved from Ross Co. Ohio to Hardin Co. Ohio. Jane was first married to James Southerland (Sutherland) also in Ross Co. Ohio. James Sutherland and Jane Monroe had at least one son Alexander b. 1821 in Ross. He moved to Hardin Co. Ohio with the Wilcox group and later married Margaret Fultz. I have little to no information about Jane and where she was born or her family nor what happened to first husband James.

Wilcox, John L M born 1832

cher199 — 2012-03-21 17:51:58Z

Looking for any information on John L M Wilcox, born in Virginia, in 1832 and lived in Scott County. He was married to a person named Barbara, last name not known. He joined the Union military in Kentucky in March 1864, and went on a furlough, in which he did not return from. He had 4 children, in which one died as an infant. On the 1870 Census his youngest son Jacob was living with a family named William and Charlotte Felty. It appears that Jacob married a Sarah Smith around 1889. Thanks

Re: Olivia Richardson and Horace Hubbard Wilcox

Realize this is an old post, but worth a try. Working on my husband's Wilcox family. His Great Great Grandparents were Horace Hubbard Wilcox and Olivia Richardson-Wilcox.

So far I have found that Horace died in 1888 - Clifford, Butler, Kansas.

Olivia in 1904 - Glendora, Los Angeles, California.

Their son Boardman Hubbard Wilcox m: Emma Olinger

Boardman, Emma and their children eventually moved to Santa Maria, California. Their daughter Oliva was my husband's Grandmother.

I have more information I can share.

Re: Thomas Willcox and Betty Cole of Ivy Mills

bradleykaren — 2012-02-15 05:00:27Z

I am a direct descendent of Thomas Willcox and Elizabeth Cole, who married in 1727 in the Olde Swedes Church of the Holy Trinity in Wilmington, DE and lived in Ivy Mills, Concord Co, PA. Today was the first time I had ever seen the below comments.

BIOGRAPHY: Thomas Willcox , born in Ivybridge, a village some eight miles from Plymouth, Devonshire, sailed on the ship York out of Bristol , England in the early 1700's.

According to Lucy Russell (74650.605@compuserve.com), Thomas arrived onboard the ship York out of Bristol, England. I have not seen Lucy's source for this information.

I would be most interested in what documentation you had to support these comments. I have the book "Ivy Mills" by Joseph Willcox (great grandson of olde Thomas Willcox) and these statements are not included in it. I look forward to hearing from you.

kkircher_494 — 2012-02-13 14:59:41Z

Thank you for your reply. After a few months of almost all Boy Scouts, I'm back to checking on family. I wish I would have spent more time asking my grandmother information about the family. I hope to have more conversations with my mother, but that doesn't tell me more about my Dad's family. There are so many Wilcox family - that the engtanglements are great. There's a lot of data up to the point where ancestors arrived in America. Not so much between here and Europe. I have discovered that ALL of my ancestors, both sides of my family, all married lines, go back to colonial times in America. That is absolutely fascinating to me. Good Luck on your searches. It is fun.

Hello,
I am looking for any relatives (descendants) of Thomas G. Wilcox born in Kentucky in 1836. He married Margaret E. Hadley. I am hoping to find someone who descends from one of Thomas and Margaret's children. We are related to their youngest, John W. "Walter" Wilcox. Thank you.

Francis had son Francis Wilcox (1717-1790)still in Connecticut.Francis had son Jairus (1751- ?).
