Joseph-2 Willcockson (William-1), born circa 1635; died before 1684; married Anna-2 [Mitchell], probably the daughter of Thomas-1 Mitchell of New Haven by his unknown first wife (George E. McCracken, "The Connecticut Willcocksons," The American Genealogist [Volume 59:37-41; January 1983]; N. Grier Parke II [Compiler] and Donald Lines Jacobus [Editor], The Ancestry of Rev. Nathan Grier Parke & his wife Ann Elizabeth Gildersleeve, [Woodstock, Vermont]; 1959; 84-88).

Joseph's wife is often incorrectly identified as Anna-3 Sheather, daughter of John-2 and Elizabeth (Wellman) Sheather, when in fact, Anna-3 Sheather married Joseph Willcockson's son, John-3 Willcockson. This error can be traced to any anonymous note in The Hartford Times in answer to Query 5106 (1) B.M.S., 18 August 1939 (McCracken).

Anna is probably the daughter of Thomas Mitchell (unknown mother).
