• Notes

  She was 24 years old when she arrived in America with her husband in 1636. Per Norman Parker (Wilcoxon): After his [William WILCOXSON's] death, his widow married William Hayden of Windsor. She died in 1655." This, however, is not in accord with Savage (ii, 387), who says that "His [William HAYDEN's] w. d. at Windsor, 1655; and he m. 2d Margaret, wid. of William Wilcockson, " and Wilcox (1938, p. 18) who says she was alive at the time William Wilcoxson's heirs made an agreement together on 22 OCT 1668. Per Thomas Wilcox (p. xix): "... the legend, as given in 'Records of the CT Line of the Hayden Family', is to the effect that Margaret married William Hayden sometime in the year 1663. The latter had then removed from Windsor to Hamonoscett (later Kenilworth, Killingworth and finally Clinton) with his three motherless children and there he was joined by Margaret and the younger Wilcoxson children. By that time John, Joseph, Timothy and Elizabeth were already married." Per Wilcox (1938, p. 23), Winthrop says she was living in Windsor in 1660 and the wife of William Hayden. Per Thomas Wilcox (p. xix): "Margaret ... died at Killingworth in 1675." Per Bergetta Monroe (20 SEP 1995, citing Monroe, Paul; My Monroe Family [1966]): "He married Margaret , said to be a BIRDSEYE of Stratford. ... Margaret was born the second month of 1611/1 and died in 1651 at Bridgewater, CT." SOURCES:YOB: Ancestral File ver. 4.14 (code AFN: 9J6F-QL).YOD: Wilcox, Thomas (1963), p. xix.
