Link about three Civil War era letters owned by Thomas Willcox of South Carolina, auctioned off in 2007 for $61,000 because they were written by General Robert E. Lee. Wonder if these Willcoxes tie in somehow?

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:

Here is a link to a Bible belonging to Thomas H. Willcox of North Carolina. I haven't established how he fits into our Willcoxes yet, but I am posting a link for reference.
