The only information I have on William WILCOX is from a few census. I found him while looking for my 3rd greatgrandmother, Rachael Ann WILCOX who was married to Joseph BROWN on 15 September 1850 in Jennings Co, Indiana. I assumed she would have been living there with her parents when the 1850 census was taken so I went looking for any Wilcox family with a Racheal. I found William WILCOX-51, Bulea (Beulah) WILCOX-46, Charles WILCOX-26, Levi WILCOX-21, Rachel WILCOX-16, as well as a EWAN family. According to this census William was born in New York around 1799, and Beulah was also born in New York about 1804. I then found what I believe to be this same family in the 1840 census, also in Jennings Co, Indiana. All the ages match up perfectly. I was unable to find them in 1860, but in 1870 I find William WILCOX-69, and Beulah-65, living in Roseville Twp, Warren Co, Illinois, which is where Joseph BROWN and Rachael Ann were living. According to this census William was born in Vermont about 1801, and Beulah was born in New Jersey about 1805.
Is this William father to Rachael Ann WILCOX? Is the EWAN family related? Where was William really born? New York, Vermont or elsewhere?
