The Wilcox Family This is my oldest family to date, and perhaps the one which evokes the most confusion. There are as many theories to this ancestry as there are people researching it. If only there weren't so many Daniels! The Wilcoxes and the Stewards intermarried twice, so there is some duplication here. See Lucy Steward and John Steward Sr. in the Steward family to find out more about these families. This appears to be the most logical descendancy for my family. If anyone has evidence to disprove it, I am more than willing to look at it. In the meantime, here's what I've found:
