John Woolcott of Watertown MA, 1599-1638
Revised May 2011
The second Wolcott family in the colonies was that of John Woolcott who immigrated to America in 1634. John was a son of Edward Woolcott of Axbridge, Somerset, mercer and mayor of Axbridge, by his wife Marie Phippen. Edward was a son of John Wolcott of Tolland, son of Thomas Wolcott of Tolland, son of Thomas Wolcott of Tolland, and was therefore a second cousin of Henry Wolcott who immigrated in 1630. The Woolcott spelling used by early generations of this family is a variant spelling of Wolcott, the spelling used by most American Wolcotts today. Woolcott continues to be the preferred spelling in England.

(1) John Woolcott, b. Axbridge, Somerset, 1599, d. 1638 Watertown MA. After the death of his first wife, Mary Wrentmore, John immigrated to America on the Recovery of London, which departed from Weymouth, Dorset, in 1634. He was admitted as a freeman of Cambridge MA in 1635. His daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, either came with him, or followed soon after. Shortly after arriving in America, John Woolcott married Winifred Crawford of Watertown. She was the widow of John Crawford who drowned in the Charles River in 1634. Winifred had at least one child from her first marriage, Rebecca Crawford, born in 1633. John's surname was usually spelled Woolcott, a spelling that some of his descendants continued using.
