________________________________________

Joseph was born at Concord about 1636. He moved with his family to Stratford in 1639. Although no record exists to confirm the following, it appears he was married and lived in Stratford for a number of years, as all his children were born there. This family subsequently relocated to Killingworth where he was listed among the twenty-seven proprietors under the Act of 1663. His will (file No. 5717) is located at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford. One source states Joseph died in 1682 at Killingworth; another states 1689, and a third states February 9, 1703. The earlier date is more likely correct based on a document dated June 6, 1683, from the County Court at New London wherein Anna sued to have her interest in Joseph's estate amended.

Killingworth was established from the area called Hammonasset, taken from the local Native American tribe of the same name. The area originally incorporated the town of Clinton, which were separated along ecclesiastical borders.[2][3] Part of New London County prior to May 1785, Killingworth was then included in the newly formed Middlesex County, where it remains today.

It was named after Kenilworth, England in honor of one of the first settlers, Edward Griswold.[3] Kenilworth's name was more similar to "Killingworth" during the American colonial period, and over time the pronunciation and spelling drifted towards the modern one.[2] Coincidentally, there is a town and village in England called Killingworth and Killingworth Village in the county of Tyne and Wear, which do not seem to have any connection with Killingworth, Connecticut.

In the late 17th century, Killingworth became the birthplace of what would eventually become Yale University. The Rev. Abraham Pierson, the college's first president, taught some of the first classes in his Killingworth home - which is actually in present-day Clinton, Connecticut. However, in 1701, the college's first official home was constructed in Old Saybrook on the peninsula known as Saybrook Point. Eventually the school was moved to its present-day home in New Haven.[4]

______________________________

According to Lower, in his " Origin of English Surnames," the name Wilcox is derived from William, while Camden places it among names derived from birds. Neither of these authorities states how the derivation is made. It is also sometimes assumed that it is of Saxon or possibly of Celtic origin, but in any case is of very early date. It is equally certain that in the earliest emigration to America the name was represented by families from different parts of England in no wise connected with each other. Among these early emigrants of the Wilcox name was John Willcock of the Hartford, Connecticut, Colony, who appears to have been one of the " original proprietors " (as they were called), of that settlement. His name and the exact location of his house lot is found in the plot of the original plan of Hartford made as of date 1640, by William Porter of Farmington. By surveys from the original records of the "Distribution of 1639." This is the earliest trace so far found of this settler. From the fact of his being numbered among the "original proprietors" it is a natural inference that he was one of the company of Rev. Thomas Hooker, who removed from Newtown (Cambridge), Mass., in 1636. The certainty is that he was in possession and occupancy of a house lot located in "the bend of the little River" (now a portion of the Bushnell Park), at date of the "Distribution of 1639." [The above is contributed by George A. Wilcox, esq., from his Wilcox Genealogical Notes ; unpublished till used in "Fifty Puritan Ancestors" by Elizabeth Todd Nash.]

Disputed Wife

Joseph Wilcoxson, son of William Wilcoxson, married Ann ______.[1]

Joseph's wife, Ann/Anna was perhaps a daughter of Thomas Mitchell of New Haven, by his unknown first wife.[2] Donald Jacobus says that this is a possibility.[3] The source of the error of his wife's last name being Sheather is attributed to an anonymous note in The Hartford Times in answer to a query which erroneously stated that Anna was the daughter of John and Elizabeth _____ Sheather.[2]

Wilcox/Wilcoxson Familes of New England. states Joseph b. ca 1636 in Concord/Watertown MA son of William & Margaret m. 1658/9 Stratford CT Anna Sheather d/John & Elizabeth Wellman Sheather; Res Killingworth CT. It cites the following references- Wilcox-Meigs 22,23; Desc of Wm Wilcox p27, Bogue Families p393, Savage v4 p547; Desc of Abner & Lucy Hart Wilcox p 18, Gen of NHFamilies v3 p1508[4]

Most of these References call her Ann or Anna, no surname.[5][6][7] The Desc. of Abner & Lucy Hart Wilcox is not online. Gen of New Haven Families must be an error.[8]

One source listed in the Wilcox/Wilcoxson Families lists the name Anna Sheather,[9] but gives no source for this which could easily have been the previously mentioned note in the Hartford Times.

Families of Old Fairfield calls her Ann, [10] as does Torrey's New England Marriages to 1700.

Samuel Orcutt in A History of the Old Town of Stratford and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut shows Joseph as marrying Anna _______.[11]

Elizabeth Nash, in Fifty Puritan ancestors, 1628-1660 : genealogical notes, 1560-1900 also gives the wife of Joseph as Anna _________.[12]

Anderson, in the Great Migration Series, says that by 1658 Joseph married Hannah, possibly the daughter of Thomas Mitchell of New Haven (restating reference to Parke document.)[13]

Joseph born about 1635 to William Wilcoxson. He married Anna ______.[14]

Joseph Wilcoxson, son of William the immigrant settler, settled in Killingworth, Connecticut after the birth of three of his children with his wife, Anna.[15] Biography

Joseph was born at Concord about 1636. He moved with his family to Stratford in 1639. Although no record exists to confirm the following, it appears he was married to Margaret Ann Sheather, and lived in Stratford for a number of years, as all his children were born there. This family subsequently relocated to Killingworth. His will (file No. 5717) is located at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford. One source states Joseph died in 1682 at Killingworth; another states 1689. The earlier date is more likely correct based on a document dated June 6,1683, from the County Court at New London wherein Anna sued to have her interest in Joseph's estate amended.'[16] Birth

Joseph Wilcoxson Joseph Wilcoxson was the second child and second son of William Wilcoxson and his wife, Margaret. Altogether, Joseph has four brothers and four sisters. He was born about 1636 at Concord, Massachusetts and was brought by his parents to Stratford, Connecticut in 1639. He evidently married at Stratford as there is a record of his oldest children being born there. Later Joseph Wilcoxson removed with his mother and father-in-law to the new settlement of Killingworth.

Joseph died there as a relatively young man in 1689. (One source, Clifford A. Wilcox, states that Joseph died 9 February 1703 in Killingworth, Middlesex County, Connecticut) The original papers in the settlement of Joseph Wilcoxson's estate are said to be on file in the Connecticut State Library at Hartford, File 5717. In 1708, the widow Anna Wilcoxson was still alive because she then petitioned for the custody of her Farnum grandchildren. Prior to that time, in October, 1697, the Connecticut General Assembly at Hartford had passed the following Act:

'Anna Wilcoxson, widow and relict of Joseph Wilcoxson late of Killingworth, deceased, being aggrieved with the Act of the County Court at New London, June 6, 1883, concerning her interest in the reall estate of the said Joseph which act being an abridgement of her just rights according to the lawe, this Court doth declare the same to be void and doe order that the said Anna shall have the one third part of the reall estate of said Joseph according to lawe to be hers during her natural life, ye said act notwithstanding.' (Public records of Connecticut Vol. 4)

It is now pretty well established that Anna, the wife of Joseph Wilcoxson, was a Shailor (also spelled Shaler). There are several allusions to the Shaler family in the earliest Killingworth records. In one place William Wilcoxson is mentioned as heritor of 12 acres 'which were formerly Goodman Shailers', the inference being that the latter was William's grandfather and Anna's father.

If Anna was a Shailor, she comes from good stock. The Shailor family originated in Warwickshire, England, near Stratford-on-Avon. Their first home in America was the Island of Jamaica. However, their residence there must have been brief for Thomas Shailor appears among the first planters of Killingworth. The earliest generations were seafarers, the most notable being Captain William Shailor whose Journal now forms an early California historical source. There was also an Alexander Shaler, 'native of Middlesex County' who rose to the rank of Major General in the Civil War. Nathaniel, Southgate Shaler in his day, was a noted author, educator, and physician. Joseph Wilcoxson was married to Ann _______ in 1658 in Stratford, Fairfield County Connecticut. Joseph and Ann had eight children found on ancestry.com

Joseph Wilcoxson and Ann _______ had the following children:

+17 i. Joseph Wilcoxson. 18 ii. Thomas Wilcoxson was born on 13 Nov 1661 in Killingworth, Middlesex Co., CT. He died in May 1694. Died unmarried He has reference number 18. +19 iii.

On Feb. 9, 1698 he executed a deed to his younger brother John, which was witnessed by Vincent Meigs and Henry Crane, Jr. He is mentioned again 12/23/1698 as owner of 12 acres "which were formerly "Goodman Shailors". +23 vii.
