¿ The Royal Grant was divided into four divisions and each was survey- ed into lots. These lots were num- bered and contained 200 acres. The lands which were seized from the Tories were sold to speculators, who in turn sold small amounts to the settlers. A settler's deed in the town of Salisbury might read, "Be- Ing in the N.

Some other settler's deed might read in the Susannah Johnson tract instead of in the Royal Grant.

WILCOX


While I cannot give a definite answer to the query of Miss Ger- trude A. Johnson I would suggest that you write Harry F. Johnston, 131 East Quaker street, Orchard. Park, N. Y. He is compiling a Wil- cox genealogy and I know he has been working on Wilcox families from. Pompey.


There is also a Thomas Wiicox, 12259 Maryland street, Los Angeles, Cal. who 'is working on the Strat- ford, Conn. Wilcox iine and might be able to identify Lavinia.


Miss Altsie Wilcox of Port Ley- den, N. Y. might also assist. She is town historian and acquainted with several people who are work- ing on Wilcox lines.


The name of Lavinia's son sug- gestś that she was related to Phil- ander Wilcox. A man by that name settled at Hamilton, N. Y. circa 1802. Other Wilcox families who settled there were Borden Wilcox, 1799: Aaron Wilcox, 1800; Josiah Wilcox. 1802. These are all likely to have relatives at Pompey.


1


I know that some Wilcox families of Camden, N. Y. and Michigan are descended from a Chester Wilcox who came from Mass. or Conn. to Pompev in the 1790s. He had two brothers who settled there with him. The brothers moved on west and he removed to Camden where he was engaged as surveyor in lay- ing out the town. He married twice, his firat, wife being Aurelia Sperry whose family came from Conn. She died Feb. 24, 1824, aged 28, 'after which time he married Aurelia (Dunhar) Woods, widow of Samuel T. Woods and daughter of Seth and Jerusha (Cowles) Dunbar. His son Levi, by his first wife, born 1818 at Pompey, N. Y. married .Is- abella Lambie, daughter of a Scotch family who came early to Camden, N. Y. This family removed to Mich- igan. A descendant who recently removed from Michigan to New 'MEAD Hampshire and has a good deal of information on that family may be abie to help. She is Mrs. Roger Nel- son, 5 Occom Ridge, Hanover. N. H.| It is obvious by the dates of Chester Wilcox' wives that he was verv young when he came to Pomnev. (I ), believe Chester was born 1794) and he may have been the son of Mat- thew Wilcox who settled at Pom- pey from Tvringham, Mass. about that time. Matthew was a Revolu- tionary soldier and prohabiy de- scended from the R. I. Wilcox line.


Another early Pompev family of Wilcox was that of Capt. Samuel Wilcox, a Rev. soldier, who was born


to be burned at the stake which was accordingly done. As a result of this outrage all Bohemia flamed into re- volt and actual warfare.


In the year 1517 Martin Luther was in bad with the church because he had taken exception to the prac- tice of selling indulgences for the benefit of the church, the money he- ing divided between the pope 'and one of the bishops in Germany.


Luther was led into a debate and was accused of having the same views as had John Hus. This he de- nied at first but after giving it some thought decided they were, and after being accused of agreeing with a heretic he said that the pope and all nones may be wrong and only the Bibie was right.


Luther followed John Hus in as- ming that the bread. used at com- minion was already the body of Christ when prepared and not after consecration by the priest of preach- er and he also followed Hus in teaching that the people, and not the administrant only, should partake . of the wine at communion.


At this time there were many states and other divisions in Ger- manv and adjoining territory, which accounts for the many leaders and "he many emblems and coats of arms that were adopted by the leading families.


Whether John Hus was an ancestor of the Christian Haus who came to America in 1708-1710 we do not know, as nearly 200 years elapsed between dates, but we take great pleasure in following the records of both men and their loyalty to the cause and church in which they be- lieved. Over 200 years have again passed since the advent of the Pal- one, and in our hearts we connect them to the great House family of


tines of which Christian House was 1 drove the Indians and Tories under
