MISSING LINKS

 

Revised January 2008.

The ancestry of the Wolcotts, Walcotts, Wilcotts, etc. on this page is still in question. Anyone having information which might help establish their ancestry is invited to contact John at johnwolcott @ mail.com.  Recently our DNA study has shown that many of these families have a DNA marker peculiar to descendants of John Woolcott of Watertown/Newbury.

The Pennsylvania Wolcotts: John, Paul, Silas, John Jr., and David, sons of John Wolcott of PA, and Abner and Barnabas, probably sons of John, as well as Sarah Wolcott of Ohio, probably wife of John, Jr., have been moved from the "Missing Links" page to the "Descendants of John Wolcott of Watertown" page.

1. Hiram Wolcott of Wyoming Co. PA.

2. Walter Woolcott, father of writer and radio star, Alexander Woolcott.

3. Wilcott/Wolcott family of Delaware. DNA study results show probable descent from John Wolcott of Watertown.

4. Thomas Willcutts of North Carolina. DNA study results show probable descent from John Wolcott of Watertown.

5. Cortez Wolcott of Newfield NY.

6. Samuel Wolcott of Charleston MA.

7. Wilcutts of KY.

8. SAMUEL WOLCOTT OF CHARLESTON MA

Samuel was thought to be a descendant of William Walcott of Salem, but DNA evidence has now determined that this is not so. Samuel's ancestors are currently unknown.  He may have beenthe son of William Wilcott/Wolcott Jr. of  Billingsgate MA, mariner, who in 1737 at Boston sold property at Sheepscott ME, formerly belonging to his father,  William Wilcott/Wolcott. This is based largely on the fact that they were both mariners

Samuel Wilcot, now or late resident of Charlestown, mariner, Ball claimed that he had loaned Samuel money. The account, dated 1729, lists three amounts totalling 3L 11 s 12d. The court found for the plaintiff and Samuel was ordered to pay 33s and court costs. On the reverse of this document is found "Attest 1 Oct. 1732 xxx Samuel Wolcott" and a notation that a bond was given by the defendant, Samuel Wolcutt, sailmaker, of Charlestown, who pled that he had made payment. He had as surety Stephen Ford, blockmaker, of Charlestown. A deposition in this case reads: "Thomas Robenson Marriner of Lawful age Testifieth & Saith that on or about the Year 1729 he the deponent did belong and was Shiped on boord the Sloop Medford whereof Robert Ball was Master in which time this deponent saw Saml Wilcot under the custody of Mr. Joshua Scottow deputy Sherif and that he the said Ball Paid money to release the said Wilcot from going to Gaol the said Wilcot then promising to come to work on board the said Sloop to proceed on a voyage in the said Sloop with him the said Ball and further this deponent saith that the said Saml Willcot came two or three peices of Days and in that space of time went from the said vessel several times as if he did not incline to work and then wholly absented himself and came no more and by what this deponent could learn while the said Wilcot was on board that the said Robert Ball had lent him the said Wilcot more money at sundry other timmes beside what he paid the Sheriff for his discharge.
