Henry Wolcott 
Henry was born on January 6th, 1643 in Windsor, Hartford County County,Conn. and his baptism took place on January 8th, 1643 in Windsor,Hartford,Conn.. Henry's father was Henry Wolcott and his mother was Sarah Newberry. His paternal grandparents were Henry Wolcott and Elizabeth Saunders; his maternal grandparents were Thomas Newbury and Jane Dabinott. He had three brothers and three sisters, named John, Samuel, Josiah, Sarah, Mary and Hannah. He was the oldest of the seven children. He died at the age of 67 on February 15th, 1710 in Windsor, Hartford County County,Conn..General Notes
Henry was elected a member of the House of Deputies in 1686 and subsequently served for many years as the Town Clerk of Windsor.
Real estate in his possesion--left in England by the first Henry Wolcott and given by his will to the eldest surviving son, the second Henry Wolcott, and then to his eldest son the third Henry Wolcott--was sold by Henry Allen,Esq, for 850 Pounds sterling. As the 3rd Henry Wolcott died without surviving male issue, his estate reverted to the heirs of his daughters. Their claim was contested by the heirs of the male line. The suit involving the question of recognition of the English law of primogeniture and entail, was watched with interest from the colony. The claim of the Wolcotts was disallowed. The decision caused some unpleasentness in the family.
