A place to gather and share information about the Thomas Willcox and Elizabeth Cole Willcox Family of Ivy Mills, PA. For more information see the Home page link above or contact Deniane Kartchner at Denianek@gmail.com. My husband is a descendant of Thomas and Elizabeth's son James who married Prudence Doyle. Their son John's daughter Prudence married John Christopher Kartchner.

Note: This is a work in progress! I am trying to verify everything before I post, but feel free to send me corrections and/or suggestions. It’s also not a complete history of Ivy Mills or a website for current operations, although I will gladly try to answer any questions and/or lead you to the right information.

I'm currently working on tracing this family back to England through this link:

James Willcox, buried Lower Merion Cemetery

In the Philadelphia City Death Certificates Index, it says that James Willcox (info below) was buried in Lower Merion Cemetery. I am going to try and find the original record. The burial date and place actually match up to the St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in Ardmore, PA, on the website http://www.lowermerionhistory.org/burial/lutheran/w.html. This is a great clue, because I am trying to see if this James Willcox is John and Sarah Walton Willcox's son. The date is off by six years, according to the baptism record at the Catholic church.

The reason I think this may be James, son of John and Sarah is because of the burial location, in the same cemetery as his uncle Peter Wallover and aunt Margaret Walton Wallover. I believe we will find that most of John and Sarah's family affiliated with Protestant religions although they were baptized Catholic as children. (Sarah was originally Protestant and is listed as such in two of the baptism records: "Protestant", and "non-Catholic." Her daughter Prudence and son John both joined the Roxborough Baptist Church.
