2. | Henry Wolcott was born about 1578 in Tolland, Somersetshire, England; was christened on 6 Dec 1578 in Lydeard St Lawrence, Somersetshire, England (son of John Wolcott and Living); died on 30 May 1655 in Windsor, Connecticut Colony. Notes: Henry Wolcott, an English gentleman from the Parish of Lyiard, St. Lawrence, and his wife Elizabeth Saunders, with their sons Henry, Christopher and George, emigrated to New England on the ship Mary and John. The ship left Plymouth England and arrived in Massachusetts on May 31, 1630. Henry was described as "a resolute Puritan, a stout-hearted and God-fearing man". He may have been influenced by Simon Venn of Lydiard St. Lawrence, who Henry later appointed as overseer of his property he inheirited at Tolland. Simon was a brother of John Venn of London, one of the partners in the Massachusets Bay Company in 1628 and 1629. Henry married Elizabeth Saunders about Jan 1605/06 in Lydeard St Lawrence, Somersetshire, England.

3. | Elizabeth Saunders was christened on 20 Dec 1584 in Lydeard St Lawrence, Somersetshire, England (daughter of Living and Living); died on 7 Jul 1655 in Windsor, Connecticut Colony. Notes: [Henry's] widow survived him about five weeks; she died July 7 [1655], and her will, dated July 5, is attested by her mark. The explanation of this, which we find in one of our old manuscripts, is unquestionably authentic: "Their wills were made just before their deaths, and Mrs. Wolcott, not being well enough to write her name, only made her mark." Notes: Married:
