=======================================
ALFRED S. WILCOX, son of Jeffrey H. Wilcox, was born in West Greenwich, R.I., April 24th, 1813, and came with his parents to Warsaw, N.Y., in 1816, and in 1818 to Orangeville, Wyoming Co., NY, where he has since lived. He bought of his father the old homestead on lot 56, and lived there until 1852, when he bought two hundred and fifteen acres on lot 55, on which he has since resided. He now owns three hundred and sixty acres, upon which he keeps a large dairy. He has been justice of the peace sixteen years, overseer of the poor over twenty years, assessor, and supervisor for six terms. He did all the recruiting for Orangeville from the sprint of 1863 to the close of the Rebellion. He was a captain in the old militia seven years.
