Disputed Origin

Research of Jane E. Wilcox has shown circumstantial evidence the parish registers of Ilkeston and vicinity that William Wilcockson of Biggin-by-Hulland, Derbyshire may be the father of William Wilcoxson also of Derbyshire.^[1]

From "Abner Wilcox and Lucy Eliza Hart Wilcox" Since William was a linen weaver, and Biggin was an area where flax was grown and woven into cloth, there is credibility to this theory. ^{[citation needed]}
