Wilcox, William F., b. 1811.
Biographical notes:
Wilcox left his wife Eliza and four children behind in Kelloggsville, N.Y. to go to California in 1852. He found no work in mining, and instead worked in Sacramento as a carpenter and wood carver. He co-owned the Empire Ranch, situated 23 miles outside of Sacramento in Placer County, and worked off and on as a carver, carpenter, and draftsman. One of his projects was doing the carving work on the courthouse and jail in Sacramento.
