"79. Bartholomew - Williams. Information is desired concerning Sybil Bartholomew, or Williams, who married Daniel Hickox, Jan. 15, 1766, and died April 2, 1774 See Bronson's History of Waterbury, p. 500. J. A. B."

"79 Answer. Bartholomew-Williams. Sybil, who is called Bartholomew or Williams in Bronson's Waterbury, was Sybil Thompson, widow of Bartholomew Williams. She was the daughter of Caleb and Rebecca (Hickox) Thompson, born April 8, 1732, and married, first, Bartholomew Williams, who died in 1759, leaving three children.

Her identity has been a puzzle for years as the difference in age was so great and the statistics so meager."^[1]

Research Notes

There is a FindaGrave listing, #24103650, which is almost certainly his, for a Daniel Hickcox who died 12 July 1826 "aged 84" in the Old Watertown Cemetery, Watertown, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The spelling of the last name was highly variable and the 16 Dec date of death in the Genealogy could be a typo repeating his dob in error. Watertown & Waterbury are about 7 miles apart according to GoogleMaps. His father, Deacon Thomas and Daniel's wife Sybil are also buried there. There are no links provided.
