WILLCOX, Albert Oliver, merchant, born in New York city, 10 May, 1810. He was educated in the New York high-school, and embraced a mercantile career. Between 1835 and 1860 he was an active member of several anti-slavery societies. As chairman of the executive committee of one of these, he issued, on 3 November, 1838, an address containing the first proposal of political anti-slavery action. He was among the founders of the " National Era" in Washington, D. C., in 1844. He was engaged for many years before the war in extending the earliest mercantile agency, and in the dry-goods business, and has since followed the insurance business in New York city, and devoted himself to the public advocacy of woman suffrage.
