  • Notes: 

  • Oliver Wilcox appears to have been buried first in New York's Marble Cemetery in New York City. However there is a tombstone for him in the Clinton Cemetery in Clinton, Connecticut. Perhaps his body was moved, or a memorial stone was placed in Clinton while his body remained in New York City.
