The Walcotts of Eastern England: Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Hampshire, and Buckinghamshire

Revised January 2008

The Wolcott/Walcott/Wilcott DNA project has found that descendants of Emmanuel Walcott of Buckinghamshire (c.1570-c.1650) and Thomas Walcot of Hampshire (c.1680-1722) share similar DNA. There is also some similarity between these two Walcott participants and the descendants of William Walcott who immigrated to Salem MA in 1638. All show a Nordic origin, unlike the Walcots of Shropshire, or the Wolcotts of Devon and Somerset, both who have Celtic or Anglo-Saxon genetic origins. Additional participants from English Walcott families are encouraged to participate in the DNA project to confirm and expand the knowlege of these families' relationships. For more information about the DNA project, return to the index and go to the DNA project web page.

The Walcotts of Eastern England are probably descended from the Danish invaders that settled in Eastern England in the 10th century. These Nordic Walcotts probably took their surname from one of the settlements named Walcott. Walcott in the county of Norfolk was a property listed in Domesday in the 11th century. Thomas de Walcote was at Walcott, Norfolk in 1240. Although his name is derived from his residence, Thomas appears to be the ancestor of the Norfolk Walcotts who used that surname. Robert de Walcote appears in Yorkshire in 1240. His name does not appear to be taken from a Yorkshire place name. Hugh de Walcot and his son, Alexander de Walcote of Walcote, Lincolnshire are on the 1332 Lay Subsidy Roll for Lincolnshire, and appear to be the ancestor of the Lincolnshire Walcots. Based on limited information, it appears that the first two families had few descendants in the male line. The Lincolnshire family appears to be the largest, and was probably the ancestors of most Walcotts.

Information from the Visitation is shown in italics.

The Walcotts of Lincolnshire derive their surname from the village of Walcot, now called Walcot by Folkingham. It was located on the Witham River in the manor of Newton, in the Wapentake of Aveland. Aveland included 23 villages, including Bourne, Dunsby, Folkingham, Haceby, Newton, Swaton, Witham, and Walcot, all mentioned below. It is located near the Leicestershire border.

In 1420 Edmond Willoughby of Dunsby leased his mill at Dunsby to John Walcote of Dunsby and others. John's wife was probably the Joan, late wife of John Walcote of Dunsby, Lincoln, who in 1430 deeded to Thomas Duffield of Dunsby and Margaret his wife, property John had inherited from Alexander Walcote, and if they had no heirs of their bodies it was to revert to the heirs of Alexander Walcote.
