In or about 1740, in the American colonies, a John Wilcockson joined in marriage with Sarah Boone, sister of the famous frontiersman Daniel Boone. Over decades, that glamorous connection inspired hundreds of American descendants to wonder who their “1720 John Wilcockson” was and where he came from.

The trail ultimately led across the Atlantic, back to a tiny hamlet in Derbyshire, England called Biggin by Hulland. Its 17^th century homesteads and surrounding fields – almost unchanged since Medieval times – can truly be called a cradle of Wilcocksons worldwide.
