I have been searching for information on Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT trying to find who his parents are.
My ancestress, Lucina/Lucinda Wilcox (dau of Jesse Wilcox & Jerusha ____) was born 9 Dec 1800 and d. 23 Dec 1867 Avon, CT. Her lst husband _____ Richards (poss. George, son of Pelatiah Richards, SR) d. ca 1825. Lucinda (Wilcox) Richards then returned to Avon, CT. with son James Richards.She m/2 6 Feb 1828 to Asaph Hart b. 1799 Avon, CT.
Lucinda had a daughter Mary Hart b. 1834 and d. 1837. Sometime around this time Asaph Hart deserted her. Lucinda is buried in the West Avon, CT. cemetery and her mother, Jerusha Wilcox is buried next to her having died 13 Jun 1808 at Avon, CT when Lucinda would have been only 8 years old. I believe my Jesse Wilcox to be the one whose will is dated 27 Sept 1843 with distribution made 22 Feb 1845 as My gr-grandfather James Richards is mentioned in this will. Other beneficiaries listed were Julia L. Richards; Nancy Hosford of Canton, CT; Seth Willcox of the State of New York; Maria Willcox of the State of New York; Juliette Reynolds of the State of New York; and Samuel Clyde.
Would love to hear from you if you know anything about this family........... Thanks, Marge in CT

I was happy to hear from you concerning Jesse Wilcox of Avon, CT. I don't know why you feel confused.
I guess I have come to the conclusion that there were 2 Jesse Wilcox's living in Avon, CT. at the same time. This is what is making it so confusing.
As I stated I have copied the distribution of the estate of Jesse Wilcox dated 22 Feb 1845. In it he names James Richards, my gr-grandfather, as a benificiery. I also copied the pages from "John Wilcox of Hartford, CT and his Descendants" by Johnston. He is as confused as we are.
I also found a reference to a Jesse Wilcox B. ca 1769; baptized 14 Apr 11773 at Amenia, Dutchess County, NY. It gives his spouse as Zephora Wetmore
(More Confusion) and his parents as Jehiel Willcox & Deborah.
Then I have another will for a Jesse Wilcox dated 15 Aug 1832
Then I have a probate record dated 20 Sept 1843 in which all persons who claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed them money were listed.
Who should be last on the list but Asaph Hart
the second husband of Lucinda (Wilcox) (Richards) Hart. He claimed that Jesse Wilcox owed him thirty pounds. So with the mention of Asaph Hart and also James Richards I'm sure that the Jesse Wilcox who died 1843 is my Jesse and not the Jesse who married 3 times and was son of Josiah Wilcox & Elizabeth Curtis. If you need copies of these documents send me your snail-mail privately and I will mail them to you. By the way, "Wilcoxson-Wilcox, Webb and Meigs Families" by Reynold Webb Wilcox gives the line of Hiel/Jehiel Wilcox and lists his children but follows only the oldest son, Nathaniel. Keep in touch and remember that there were two Jesse Wilcox living in Avon, CT at the same time. Marge in CT

Hi Marge,
This is a bit confusing. I have a family group sheet with info copied from "Your Ancestors" by Harry Ferris Johnston.
It lists Jesse Wilcox born c 1757 Farmington, CT..married (1) Rhoda Andrews 16 Dec 1788 (2) Comfort (Mix) Beck. Rhoda was the daughter of Eli Andrews and Johanna Thompson. Jesse had two children (according to Johnston) Sophia born 1791 and Lucina born 1800. Lucina married (1) ______ Richards
(2)Asaph Hart 1828.
This Jesse was the son of Josiah Wilcox 1717-1776 and Elizabeth Curtiss. Jesse left CT and went to Granville, MA.
Then I checked out IGI at www.familysearch.org. They have numerous listings for Jesse.
Jesse married Comfort PECK 5 Feb 1794 Farmington-avon, CT
Jesse married Comfort MIX c 1795 Avon, CT
Jesse married Rhoda Andruss 16 Dec 1788 Berlin, CT
Jesse b Dec 1758 Hartford..died 6 Nov 1836 s/o Josiah Wilcox and Elizabeth Curtiss.
I have more on Josiah and so does IGI. Check them out and if there's anything else I can help with let me know. I'd really like to know where Jerusha fits into all of this.
Pauline

Have you considered the possibillity that maybe Jesse was Morman???? and that perhaps he actually had married all these women?? Just a thought.
