Biography

1776 Project
Lieutenant Daniel Wilcoxson served with North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
Daniel Wilcoxson is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A126453.

According to Daniel Willcockson's pension application, he was born 13 March, 1755 in Rowan Co., NC. Less than one month before his birth, John and Sarah (Boone) Willcockson's tenth child, Samuel, was born on 24 February, 1755. The birthdate of Samuel is shown in the Bible of his grandson, as well as on his tombstone. [1] Death date is from his son Lewis Wilcoxson in a Power of Attorney document dated 17 March 1855. He is reported to have married Sarah Faulkner or Faulconer at Bryans Station October 1780, but proof is lacking. Daniel is buried at R. Brewers Farm Cemetery, east from Bagdad, Shelby County, Kentucky.[2]

Given the Old Style / New Style Calendar shift in 1752, dates often vary by a year during this period - indeed Daniel Wilcoxson's birth year is often given as 1754/1755.

Daniel Willcockson's pension application also reveals that he enlisted in Capt. John Holder's Company in 1778. This company was involved in extensive service while protecting the frontier forts of Boonesborough and Bryan's Station. While in service, Daniel married Unknown Faulkner at Bryan's Station in October, 1780. In 1783, Daniel was discharged from military service.

Son of Sarah Boone (Husband John Wilcoxson or Wilcox)[3]

Notes

Descendant of Daniel Wilcoxson and Sarah Faulconer is a DNA match with multiple other children of John Wilcoxson and Sarah Boone (including Rachel and Mary,) as well as other children of Squire Boone.

Wilcoxson-575 and Wilcoxson-243 appear to represent the same person because: intended to be the same person, the wives are also duplicates. Per DAR records, the wife's first name has never been proven

The DAR Patriot Index lists Daniel as a Lieutenant from North Carolina being born on March 13, 1755. Dying on June 16, 1837. Married to Nancy Faulknery.

It also indicates that there are Pension Papers.

Robin - given the uneven shift from Old Style to New Style dates in the early 1750s, it cannot be taken as proof of different parentage that Samuel and Daniel's birthdates are written as one month apart. In fact, Daniel's birthdate is frequently rendered as 13 Mar 1754.

Given the amount of research/history that has catalogued this family, this is a large leap to mark Daniel Wilcockson as no longer a part of this family. Also of note, There are a multitude of descendants of Daniel Wilcockson (I am one) who are DNA matched with other Squire Boone descendants, as well as descendants of other children of John Wilcoxson and Sarah Boone.
