Notes

Note: Stephen's birth year is based on the birth year of his elder brother Edward (earliest possible date) and the date he sold land to Caleb Arnold, when he was presumably at least 21 years of age. Stephen Wilcox purchased a tract of land along the Pawcatuck River from the Indian Charles Ninigrett, on which he built an iron works. The tract is frequently mentioned in later deeds after the death of Stephen. Note, however, that this is not the Pawcatuck River where it runs along the border with CT. The map of Rhode Island shows that the headwaters of the Pawcatuck flow from the Great Swamp and Worden's Pond in South Kingstown, then west past Kenyon, Shannock and Wood River Junction and finally turns south near Hopkinton and flows along the Connecticut border on it's way to the sea. Other deeds make it clear that Stephen actually lived north-west of Worden's Pond...in the vacinity of his brothers Daniel and Thomas, rather than near Stonington, CT as originally presumed. 11 Oct 1708?Stephen Wilcocks of Kingstown for diverse good causes to my well beloved friend and neeborah [neighbor?] John [burn]towne yeoman land in Kingstowne bounded [badly burned] John Shelden & Caleb Arnold.
