This is an excerpt from a letter written by my Uncle, William Wilcox, to the town of Arlington, Vermont, regarding the History of Arlington.
"Nancy Wilcox was formerly Nancy Paine. The Paines were influential wealthy people. The story is that Nancy was asked by Quincy Adams, later President of the United States, to marry him. She turned him down and married Ozial Wilcox much to the distress of the Paine family, who disowned her. Nancy was a beautiful woman."
