Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
Wolcott-54 and Wolcott-1669 appear to represent the same person because: Same death date, same wife. These parents would not have two sons with the same name and death date. One birth date is probably a typo.
"About 100 years later, in America, two men displayed the same chessrook arms without any quartering: (1) Capt. Samuel Wolcott (son of Samuel, son of Henry, son of Henry the emigrant) died in 1734 and the coat of arms was engraved on his tombstone; and (2) Governor Roger Wolcott (son of Simon, son of Henry) who lived 1679-1767 owned a silver tankard on which the coat of arms is engraved. It is known their common ancestor, Henry Wolcott, was born in Somersetshire in 1578 and emigrated to America in 1630. While that family still claims the chessrook arms today, their descent from either Shropshire Walcot family remains unproven."
