Wolcott Family Society

Revised - August 2026
The Wolcott Family Society is about CONNECTIONS. We are a group of current generation individuals descending from ancestors with a common surname using multiple spellings including Wolcott, Walcott, Woolcott, Walcutt, Wilcott, Woolacott, and possibly others. Individuals and families descending from these surnames also have additional connections of genealogy, DNA, history, stories, and other social contexts. Many of our efforts are to explore these varied connections. Our members enjoy newsletters and an annual reunion providing comradery with each other as family even though we may be related only as distant as 12th cousins plus or related only by the common surname.
These web pages are intended for genealogical research purposes only and may not be used elsewhere without permission, but linking is allowed without need of approval. Questions and additions or corrections may be sent to Eric Wolcott, (ewolcott6 at gmail.com).
This web site was created in 2006 by John Benjamin Wolcott, then Registrar of the Wolcott Family Society and co-author with Charles V. Waid of the Wolcott genealogy book, Wolcott Immigrants and their Early Descendants, published in 2004.
Information about American Wolcotts has been collected by the Wolcott Society for over 120 years. Our database is a definative source for information about Wolcotts, Walcotts, Wilcotts, and Woolacotts. There are many other variations on this surname spelling throughout historical records. They should all be included within these records.
