~MY ANCESTOR~
The oldest son of WILLIAM & MARGARET (BIRDSEYE) WILCOXSON, he came with his parents to New England in 1635 and to Stratford in 1639. He married first Joannah Titterton before 1664 and they were the parents of two sons, John & William Wilcoxson.

He was listed as one of the Freemen of Stratford on Aug. 4, 1669. He was a Deacon of the Stratford Church. After Joannah's death and the death of his father, John moved with his mother and step-father, Daniel Hayden, to Killingworth in the Colony of Conn. It was there that he met and married ELIZABETH (BOURNE) WELLES, widow of my ancestor, JOHN WELLES, son of GOVERNOR THOMAS WELLS. They were married on March 19, 1663 in Killingworth, Conn.

John & Elizabeth returned to Stratford where they appear in church records. They were the parents of four daughters, Patience Wilcoxson, Hannah (Wilcoxson) Booth, my ancestor -- ELIZABETH (WILCOXSON) BEERS, and Mary Wilcoxson. John lived in the center of Stratford on Main Street across from the Meeting House and his two sons lived beside him.

His will gave to his son-in-law, BARNABUS BEERS (my ancestor) half an acre of his home lot in Stratford; to his son, John, his dwelling house and the rest of his home lot. His inventory was taken November 17, 1690.
