Horace Wolcott (1784 -1872)

My Great Great Grandfather, Horace Wolcott, married Sabrina Tracy on December 15, 1808.  They had ten children:
1.  Edward Chester Wolcott
2.  Sabrina Wolcott
3.  Louisa Wolcott
4.  Russell Wolcott
5.  Sabrina Wolcott
6.  Julia Wolcott
7.  Addison Wolcott
8.  Albert Gallatin Wolcott
9.  Sophia Wolcott
10. Caroline Wolcott

From Richard Hanson
During my research I received several articles from Trumbull County, one being from Richard Hanson, the corresponding secretary of the Ohio Genealogical Society in Warren, Ohio.  This document said the 1872 Will of Horace Wolcott of Farmington, Trumbull County, Ohio, names his son Albert G. Wolcott (Albert G is also named as the son of Horace in the History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties by HZ Williams & Bros - 1882 V2: 317).  There is an Albert G. Wolcott in Lenox township, Ashtabula County in the 1870 and 1900 census.  Ashtabula County is adjacent north to Trumbull County.  Some des-cendant charts of the families described are included.

The house built by Horace Wolcott was a little more pretentious than most pioneer dwellings.  He hauled boards from Parkman, and made a very comfortable cabin, with floors above and below and a door of boards.  But when the family arrived and surveyed it, the women, thinking of the pleasant home they had left in the East, burst into tears.
