Disputed Parents
While we know that George Alcock, Thomas Alcock and Elizabeth (Alcock) Whitehead are siblings, there is no proof of who their parents are. They have been disconnected from John Alcock and Alice Alrich.
Biography
Elizabeth (Alcock) Whitehead was a sister of New England immigrant settlers Thomas Alcock of Boston and Dedham, Massachusetts and George Alcock of Roxbury, Massachusetts.[1]
Elizabeth married Henry Whitehead 4 July 1626 in Radford Semele, Warwickshire.[2]

- John, bp. 19 Nov 1626,[3] migrated as a child to Connecticut.
- Thomas, bp. 6 May 1628,[4] bur. 8 May 1628.[5][6]
- Thomas, bp. 26 April 1629,[7][8] migrated as a child to Connecticut.

Elizabeth's husband "Henry Whithead Carpenter" was buried 25 Sep 1635 at Leamington Priors.[5]
She was living as a widow at Leamington Priors, Warwickshire, as of 10 March 1646/7 when she wrote to her brother Thomas Alcock regarding her sons John and Thomas Whitehead who lived in New Haven Colony, having emigrated with Francis Hall. Later in 1647 Thomas Alcock made John Thompson his attorney to recover the children from Hall.[12]

Was there a John Whitehead in Jamaica, who had a wife Elizabeth (Alcock or not) (d. 1665)?
I've taken this to G2G to discuss.
I would love to know how you are related to the Alcock/Alcott and Whitehead lines. Interesting fact is that Thomas is a direct ancestor for Amos Bronson Alcott and his daughters. I am a 10th great-granddaughter of Thomas Alcock(e) (my Dad's line has used Alcott since the early 1800's). Thomas and his older brother George as part of the Winthrop Fleet of 1630 first settled in Boston and then when 'buffer' towns were being settled, Thomas was sent to Dedham and George to Rocksborough/Roxbury. An article about the Alcock and the Whitehead families can be found in the 'National Genealogical Society Quarterly', Volume 85, Number 3, Sept. 1997; titled 'Details, Details, Details: Reviewing Existing Scholarship for Alcock Origins' by Patricia Law Hatcher, CG (and the 1996 recipient of the American Society of Genealogist's Scholar Award). I found the article quite fascinating and informative. I am sure more has been learned about the Alcock and Whitehead families since the publication of this article almost 24 years ago. Looking for more about my 10th great Thomas, I requested from the Dedham, MA library anything they had on Thomas Alcock and his wife Margery. Not a great deal was found but at least it has helped broaden my knowledge of my 10th great gf Thomas Alcock. I would be glad to share the info I received from Dedham, MA. Or maybe I can send it to one of the profile managers on Thomas' page. I descend from his next to youngest son Philip, born possibly Dedham, 1647, died New Haven, CT. I have proven ancestry from my Dad back to his 9th ggf Philip to Thomas Alcock for the lineage organization Female Descendants of Founders and Patriots (his 2nd great grandson was Lt. Daniel Alcox of Wolcott, CT). Thanks for all your contributions on Wikitree. Sincerely, Linda Alcott Maples
Samuel seems to be a dup of Whitehead-865 Richard may be Whitehead-67
I believe the unproved children should be detached from Elizabeth. The current husband detached (he's developed a parent) from Elizabeth, Thomas, Samuel and Richard. Samuel and Richard should be merged away. Isaac and Daniel disconnected from both parents. Objections?
