If anyone is researching the Wilcox surname in and around Cherry Hill, Polk
Co, AR, please email me.

My gg-grandfather, William Berry Wilcox, was the s/o Pleasant Wilcox (b ca
1791 VA) and Fannie Adams, d/o James and Elizabeth Hatcher Adams in VA.
William and his brother, Nathan Adams Wilcox, lived in Polk Co from about
1870-80 until their death, having removed to Polk Co from Wayne Co MO and
Christian Co KY.

William Berry Wilcox had a son, James Monroe Wilcox, that was probably born
in Wayne Co MO in 1864,married Iona Sullivan in Bell Co TX in 1887 and
returned to Polk Co before 1895, where he died from complications from
gallbladder surgery.We do not know if he died in Polk Co, or was in a
medical facility in another neighboring county. His grave has never been
found, nor has Nathan Adams Wilcoxs', but we assume Nathan is buried in
Polk Co. with the rest of our clan. We KNOW William Berry Wilcox is buried
there with his second wife, and several of his children.
