Research Notes
Norman Willcox has him in our tree as being son of Samuel Wilcoxson b c.1663 & Ruth Westcott m Keziah Kelsey 3 Mar 1731 Killingworth Conn. children Eliab b. 23 Feb 1731, Keziah b. 3 June 1742, Russel b. 31 Dec1736, Josiah b. 14 May 1739, Elizabeth b. 26 Jan 1745, Abner b. 10 July 1748, John Day b. unk.
Our tree continues through Eliab. I have no sources and I am trying to obtain verification; this info was found by an American relative, now dead. This was her comment "I think he was the first in your line to drop the "son" off the name and to write it Wilcox. He married Keziah Kelsey of Killingworth 3 March 1731 and removed to Dutchess County N.Y. about 1758. This family became baptists. Previous generations had been of the Congregational Church. There were 4 boys and 3 girls. Error in dates; marriage date cannot be in the same year as the son was born" Note spelling of Killingworth Conn.
