Joseph Willcox
Joseph Willcox was the fifth mayor of Philadelphia, serving from October 2, 1705, to October 1, 1706.[1]
Willcox was named an Alderman in the City Charter in 1701. He was a member of the Assembly. He drew up the remonstrance of 1704 addressed to William Penn which caused offense. A 1698 source refers to him as the principal ropemaker in the city. He served as mayor from October 2, 1705, to October 1, 1706.[2]
Willcox married Ann Powell, who was also the step-daughter of prior mayor Griffith Jones.[3]
