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:

I have no idea how/if this family fits in to the Thomas Willcox family yet, but there are ties that I am pursuing:

1860 - William Wilcox -46 - Bonnet Manufacturer (England) (
Wilcox, Lucy -45 (England)
Wilcox, Catherine - 25 (England)
Wilcox, Anna - 22 (N. Jersey)
Nancy C - 16 (PA)
Mary - 14 (PA)
William* - 9 (PA) (if this is William's family, then the tie to our family would have to go back to England)

1870 Census: (Philadelphia Ward 04 Dist 11)

Wilcox, William J. - 30
Wilcox, Mary J - 30
?Master, Joseph M - 10
?Master, George - 8 (there is a George Master in the death records who is black)
Wilcox, Walter - 4
Wilcox, Andrew - 4

Of importance here is the Dunn family, because later on, a tie to the Willcox/Wallover clan marries a Mary Dunn.

Dunn, Thomas - 30
Dunn, Catherine - 28
Dunn, Mary - 6
Dunn, Kate - 3
Dunn, Thomas, Jr. 10/12

And then the King Family:
King, Brien - 50
King, Bridget - 48
King, John - 21
King, Brien Jr - 19
King, Thomas - 16
King, James - 12
King, Maria C. - 9

A Catherine King married a Willcox.
