Note: William Willcockson and his wife and eldest son, John, came to Massachusetts on the ship Planter, sailing from London on Apr 10 1635 and arriving in Boston Jun 7. The family at first lived in Massachuestts, perhaps in Concord, and Willcockson became a freeman of that colony on dec 7 1636.

They soon moved to Stratford, Connecticut, where Willcockson practcied his trade as a linen weaver. He served as a deputy to the General Court in 1647.

On immigration, he had a certificate signed by the Vicar of St. Albans that they were members in good standing of the Church of England. On the basis of this is, it has often been assumed that the family came from St. Albans. But there is no trace of them in the parish records in St. Albans or surrounding parishes. There was a Willcockson family in Derbyshire, with a son named William of the right age, but the link has not been established by any documentary evidence.
