Hello
and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Wilcox County,
Georgia.
This County is available for
adoption.
Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to
help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing
genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free
use of all researchers.
This is a continuation of our
original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project
and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other
states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and your data
contributions.
If you think you might be interested in
joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and
instructions on signing up. We're looking for folks who share our
dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this
project be as successful as it can be.
If you have data that
you would like to have posted on this website, please
contact
us.
Any data we come across will be added to
this site.
We regret that we are unable to perform any personal
research for you.

It is unclear whether
Wilcox County is named for General Mark Wilcox, a Georgia state
legislator and one of the founders of the Georgia Supreme Court, or if
it is named for his son John Wilcox. The formation of the county was led
by Norman McDuffie of Pulaski County, Georgia. It was formed on December
22, 1857 from parts of Irwin, Pulaski, and Dooly
counties.
Jefferson Davis, President of The Confederate States of
America spent his last night in Wilcox County, before being captured by
Union troops. His capture marked the end of the Confederacy.
