    "2. John2 Wilcox (John1), born in England, perhaps about 1620 or earlier, certainly not later than 1620, died at Middletown, Conn., 24 May 1676; … He removed to Middletown, Conn., before 1655, since on 4 May of that year, called of Middletown, pailmaker, he mortgaged land to Thomas Hosmer of Hartford, for £30, which he had bought from Hosmer; the mortgage was released 29 Mar. … The inventory of the estate of John Willcox of Middletown was taken 6 June 1676 by Richard Hall and John Kirby and amounted to £409.11.04. The children were named as Sarah Long, aged 28; Israel, 20; Samuel, 18; Ephraim, 4; Hester, 2 in Dec. 1675; and Mary, born 9 March 1675/6. Distribution was ordered to the three sons and two daughters. A late distribution, dated 3 Jan. 1694/5, but probably signed earlier by some of the heirs, names Israel Wilcox, Samuel Wilcox, Ephraim Willcock, Easter Willcock, and Mary Willcock; signed by Joseph Hand Sen. in behalf of the wife of Joseph Hand Jr.; Sarah Willcock (by mark); Ephraim Wilcock; Mary Wilcock (by mark); Esther Wilcock; Esther Stow (by mark); Samuel Wilcock; and Joseph Hand. Esther Stow (alias Wilcox), the administratrix, asked for acceptance of this distribution, 6 Dec. 1726, and was discharged because of her age and infirmity; and as land had been laid out to the Estate of John Wilcox and hence not inventoried, administration was granted to Francis Wilcox of Middletown and David Ensign, Jr., of Hartford."
