Guest Post by Skip Duett ©2020 The preceding post here provides background on the Wilcockson Billie and Boonie lines. This post discusses how those Wilcockson lines relate to a group of Hutchinson and Giddey surnamed Big Y testers. For this discussion, please consider the following figure. We have two Big Y testers on the Boonie side and they share SNP A7603. The Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) of those two testers was John Wilcockson (b. 1657-d. 1719) commonly called “Cossall John.” Therefore, Cossall John had SNP A7603. We cannot … Read More

Guest Post by Skip Duett ©2020 Y-DNA testing looks at the DNA signature of the direct male line, DNA passed from father to son to son. Y-DNA has an important evidentiary role in researching early Wilcox/Wilcockson lines. Most of the difficulties in tracing these lines back are well beyond the effective range of autosomal DNA testing. Y-DNA does not suffer from generational loss like autosomal DNA does. Further, the relatively slow rate of change of the signature allows us to discover connections between various lines hundreds of years in the … Read More

My vision of a coffee table book about Puritan William Wilcockson and his family in England and New England which I started in 2001 is no longer feasible. It is with great sadness that I find that I need to change course on what was to be my legacy for the descendants of the William and Margaret Wilcockson family. Instead I will post my research on my website when I have time to devote to it. For the foreseeable future, I have to focus my genealogy time on earning a … Read More

In the early 2000s I researched the origins of surnames in England and of the surname Wilcockson in particular to include in a chapter of my book on the origins of Puritan William Wilcockson of Biggin by Hulland, Derbyshire, and his wife Margaret probably Harvie of Ilkeston, Derbyshire who immigrated to New England in 1635. The following is my research for that chapter as prepared in 2013, with DNA evidence added in 2019, debunking the Welsh nobility … Read More

Copyright © Jane E. Wilcox, Forget-Me-Not Ancestry, Albany, NY www.4getmenotancestry.com. In September 2017 I led a tour to Derbyshire, England, in search of my Puritan ancestors William Wilcockson and his wife Margaret. They came to New England on the Planter in 1635 with their two-year-old son John Wilcockson and Ann Harvie, whom I believe to be Margaret’s sister. They came during the Puritan Great Migration 1620-1640. With them on the Planter were Margaret’s first cousins Richard Harvie and his sister Mary Harvie with her husband William Beardsley and their three … Read More
