The house at 604 Cherry Brook Road in Canton has been greatly enlarged over the years. The initial structure was built by Col. William Wilcox, son of Lieut. William Wilcox (who lived at 580 Cherry Brook Road), probably near the time of the younger William’s marriage to his first wife, Mercy Case, on December 22, 1779.
