Daniel Wilcox of
Puncatest and The Genealogy of Some of His Descendents.  From the
last book:
"It may be noted that Daniel (4-3), Samuel (503), Mary (6-3), and
Stephen (8-3)
were all residents for a time at least of Dartmouth MA. The names of
Samuel and
Stephen appear in an early list of freemen of Dartmouth, as also
does that of
John Earle, husbband of Mary(6-3). The Earles came from Portsmouth
where the
name of Ralph Earl, John's father, appears in a list of inhabitants
in 1639 and
again in 1655. John and Mary must have moved to Tiverton, as the
will of Daniel
(3-2) refers to them as living at Pocasset.  Records of Pocasset
Purchasers
show that they owned land on the east side of Nannaquacket Pond. The
birth
record of their Children is found in Tiverton." RI
