Hi--I found your site and I believe you have a wrong name here
I am researching the Wilcoxsons and all the children listed under your
Timothy (3771) Wilcoxson are the children of William Willcockson.
I have seen the reference in the book "The Planters of the Commonwealth" that
list William as coming over in 1635 on the Planter with his wife Margaret and
son John (age 2)
Here is some of the information that I have and the references--I hope it helps
Sincerely,
Lynne Holland

William Willcockson,age 34,lynen weaver, wife Margaret Willcockson, age 24,
and their infant son John, age 2, From the ship list for the Planter, April 5,
1635. The vessel arrived at Boston, May 26th of the same year

William Wilcoxson was born in 1601 in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, England. He died
in 1652 in Stratford, FairfieldCo., CT.
The first specific allusion to William Wilcoxson in either English or American
records, is
to be found in Hotten's "Original Lists of persons emigrating to America prior to
1700". There we find that William Wilcoxson,age 34, together with his wife
Margaret, age 24, and their infant son John, age 2, sailed from London on the
ship, Planter, April5, 1635. The vessel arrived at Boston,
May 26th of the same year and we have the word of "Orcutt, "History of
Stratford and Bridgeport" , that his first American home was at Concord, MA.
Since he appeared at Stratford, CT. in the year 1639 he could not have lived for
more than four years there.
