I. WILCOTTS OF BOSTON MA

(1) Unknown.

(2) Thomas Wilcott, b. c.1640.  Mentioned in a deposition taken at Boston in 1672, is Thomas Wilcot, age about 30, a mariner on a "decked shallop" with Christopher Smith as master, carrying on fur trading with the Indians.  In August 1671, when the shallop was en route from St. Johns, Nova Scotia to Boston, the ship was damaged in a storm, after which, it is charged, Smith intentionally destroyed it near Winskeage Island. Thomas seems to have been second in command. Part of the cargo was left with Thomas Wilcott at the Eastward. Deponent in Wharton vs. Elson, 1675, Thomas Wilkott, mariner, aged about 35 years testifies that he knows the substance of what is above written and deposed to be true, he being boatswain of the said ship. The ship in question was the Blessing, James Elson, master, trading between Boston, the French West Indies, and France. This and the above from Sussex Co. Court records. It is possible that the "Mrs. Hannah Woolcott, single person," who died 1683 at Boston was his wife.

(2?) William Wilcott, b. c.1645 Salem MA, d. c.1700, took the oath of allegiance at Boston in 1678 and appears on the 1681 tax roll at Boston. In 1682 William Willcutt attended a meeting in Boston for the formation of an association to settle Sheepscott, ME. In 1688 John Tucker of Newbury petitioned to settle 150 acres of land on west side of Draper's River at Dartmouth, Cornwall Co., with a two acre home lot adjoining the lands of Wilcotts. William Willcott signed his mark as the only witness to a deposition made by Thomas Gent at Boston in 1689 in which Thomas deposed that on a march along the Kennebeck River they met Gov. Andros and Gent told him that his men were in no condition to go after the Indians due to some men were sick, some lame, some tired. Andros said he would get the Indians if Gent identified them, or send other Indians to get them, possihbly Mohawks. William Willcutt was living at Sheepscott ME in 1689. William Wilcott testified against Lt. Jordan, charged with treason and cruelty by the residents of Eastern, at Boston 1690, giving his age as 45, and late an inhabitant of New Dartmouth (Sheepscott). An undated document reads: "Widow Wilcott claims a Tract of Land on ye West Side Sheepcott River below ye falls beginning at ye great Springs agst ye falls & along the River Side to a small Spring on ye Nor. sd of Saml Corrbison house qts, about one hundred acres which Land was in ye possession of Thomas Mercer & given to Wm. Wilcott Deced and by him in his lifetime Improved and Enjoyed Several years till ye warrs, witness Thos Jent,  Robt Scott." William's wife was probably a daughter of Thomas and Edith Mercer of Sheepscott. The residents of Sheepscott, including William Wilcott and the Mercers, were forced to leave Maine due to hostile Indians in October of 1676. They were in Boston MA in 1682, with others that were planning to resettle Sheepscott.

(3) William Wilcott, b. c.1680, sold the land at Sheepscott on 1737: "Know ye that I William Wilcott of Billings Gate, County of Barnstable, mariner, for 5L paid by Samuel Baker of Eastham in said County, mariner, convey to him one full moiety or half part of a tract on West side of Sheepsgutt below the Falls beginning at the great Spring against the Falls and along the river side to a little Spring to the Northward of Samuel Corbisons house, about 100 acres lying in Co. of York, which land was heretofore in possession of Thomas Mercer, with One half Part of the Divisions and subdivisions heretofore made or that shall hereafter be made and set forth. William Willcut" This deed was acknowleged at Boston by Mr. William Wilcott on the same date and recorded 1743.Thomas Westbrooke of Portsmouth, NH, was commissioned to organize a military force to range from Kennebeck to Penobscott, ME, to controll the Indians there. They fought battles at Piscatagua, Penobscott, Pemmequid and other locations. Two muster rolls for these troops exist. One, dated July-December 1722 contains the names of William Wilcote, Sgt., and William Wilcote, sentinel. Another roll for 22 Nov. 1724-22 May 1725 lists the name of Thomas Willcott.

(4) William Wilcott, b. c.1700; probably served under Capt. Westbrook with his father in 1722; probably the William Willcott who was a soldier with Capt. Doan's 4th Co., 7th MA Regt. at the battle of Louisborg in 1745. In 1788, Seth Harding signed a petition at Boston MA, on behalf of Barnabas Harding, William Wilcot and himself. They were employed in the reduction of Cape Breton in 1745, and requested land in York, Cumberland, or Lincoln Co. ME; William Wilcot m. Abigail King 1725 Truro RI, recorded Provincetown RI.

(5) Elizabeth Wilcott m. Seth Harding 1746 MA.

(4) Thomas Wilcott, b. c. 1700, in ME in 1725.

Hugh Wilcott, b. c. 1655, bur. 1691, St. Michaels Cathedral, Bridgetown, Barbados; sued Joshua Ward, master of the ship John & Elizabeth, of Salem, for 6 months wages in Essex Quarter Session Court in 1679. Hugh Wolcott taxed at Salem for a family of 4 in 1684; Hugh Wilcott taxed at Salem 1685 and 1692.; m. Dorcas Penley, dau.

(2?) Samuel Wilcott buried 1667 Haverhill MA, Essex Co. Quarterly Court records. Haverhill was later part of Methuen, adjacent to Salisbury MA.

II. SAMUEL WOLCOTT OF CHARLESTON MA.

DNA evidence shows that Samuel's descendants are closely related to descendants of Henry Wolcott of Windsor, Connecticut and John Wolcott of Watertown, Massachusetts. Additional participation in the project by Samuel's descendants may clarify which.

(1) Samuel Wolcott, b. c.1700 Charlestown MA. In a court case dated 1732, Robert Ball of Charlestown, mariner v. 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. Samuel Wolcott of Boston m. Mary "Mercy" Fosdick of Charleston 1725 at Charlestown. "Widow Mary Willcott" was living in Charlestown in 1775.

(2) Samuel Wolcott Jr., b. 1727 Charleston MA, d. 1809 Cheshire MA; moved from Lanesboro, Massachusetts, to Goshen, CT, about 1753. It is said that Samuel and 12 or 14 other men from Worcester County, Massachusetts, came to Shoreham, Vermont, about 1766 and built a log house in which they lived together as one family, taking turns in housework and cooking and working together at clearing and improving the land which they had jointly purchased. aHe moved his family to Shoreham, VT, by 1773. Apple trees he planted in 1774 became a nursery, furnishing fruit and trees to the neighborhood. He and his son, Samuel, were privates with Ethan Allen's "Green Mountain Boys", who captured Fort Ticonderoga in 1775. Ft. Ticonderoga is located across the Poultney River from Shoreham. The fort was occupied by the British army, but the soldiers stationed there were unaware of the war beginning, and the Americans were able to easily walk in and gain control of the fort. The Wolcott family moved for safety to Cheshire, Massachusetts during the war, and then returned to Shoreham. An account of the early residents of Shoreham, written by Rev. Josiah Goodhue in 1861 says of him: "In the fall of 1773, Samuel Wolcott from Goshen, Connecticut, settled with his family on the farm now owned and occupied by Deacon Almon Wolcott. He and his son, Samuel, were with Ethan Allen's party at the capture of the fort. Becoming alarmed by a party of Indians that appeared in the vicinity, he and his family fled to Berkshire County, Massachusetts, where they remained until 1783. Then they returned to the farm they had left. He died while on a visit to friends in Massachusetts." "The History of Cheshire" says "Samuel Wolcott Jr. settled on land adjoining the Cream Hill Stock Farm on the south soon after the Revolution and died there." In 1790 his family at Shoreham consisted of 2 males over 16 and 1 female. Samuel died of smallpox while visiting his son, Moses, at Cheshire. In a deed dated 1804, "Jese Wallcutt, Alven Wolcott, & Philemon Wallcutt of Shoreham Vermont, heirs of Samuel Wollcut of said Shoreham deceased, son of Mercy Wallcut formerly of Charlestown, widow, decst.", conveyed rights to land at Charlestown; m. Lucy Wright 1750 Wethersfield CT.

(4) Samuel Wolcott IV, b. 1784 Shoreham VT, d. 1828 Shoreham VT. He graduated Middleburg College and studied law at Litchfield Law School, practiced law at Shoreham 1821-28 and was school principal 1817. It was said of him: "But the want of steady aim and of self command was fatal to the hopes cherished for him. But for an unfortunate habit into which he was early drawn he might have risen to a position of eminence in political or private life or in the practice of his profession. His career was short and its termination a melancholy one", perhaps indicating alchololism; m. Nancy McCauly c.1820 Shoreham VT.
