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:

Willcox Family Cemetery
I have added individual photos taken at the Willcox Family Cemetery here:
Thomas and Elizabeth Cole Willcox were my 5th great grandparents. Their 1st son, John is my 4th great grandfather. I know where the Gulf Gravesites are in North Carolina.
John is my 6th great grandfather. Direct Montgomery line. I just discovered this. John's grandson, James migrated to Missouri...where all my grandfathers lived in Wayne County. My grandfather & dad moved to nearby county, Butler County (Poplar Bluff, Mo.). My dad moved us to North Carolina before I was born. I live in Cary, NC and this grave site is only about 35 miles away! I am floored to find this out!
Thomas & Elizabeth Cole are my 6G grandparents. Son John & Rebecca Butler are 5G grandparents. John mined iron and supplied cannonballs for the Revolutionary Army. I visited their graves near Gulf NC last summer. Their son John II & Mary Polly Lea are my 4G grandparents, buried in the Willcox Burying Ground near Rhine GA. John II was a well-known boat builder on the Ocmulgee River in the early 1800s. -- Andy Hall, Tempe AZ
Yes, I visited the Willcox Burying Ground in 2019. Hope to be able to return this year. Have also visited Spring Lake nearby where it's said John II and his sons built pole boats. It's a beautiful primeval place, owned by a descendant of the Brophy family, some of whom are buried at the Burying Ground. Have you been to the Burying Ground? Where do you live? I'm in Arizona.
