Henry Wolcott (a1616-1680) Pages 40-41: HENRY WOLCOTT( Henry) came to America with his parents and was admitted a freeman by the General Court at Boston, April 1, 1634, which shows that he was at that time a member of the Dorchester Church. He removed with the family to Windsor in 1636, where he m. Nov. 18, 1641, Sarah, dau. of Mr. Thomas Newberry. Mr. Henry Wolcott was an importing merchant, and his ledger has been preserved. He appears to have been in England on business in the spring of 1654. He was engaged in public life, and held various appointments; was one of the nineteen gentlemen prominent in the Colony who were named in the Charter of Connecticut. He was elected a member of the House of Deputies in 1660, and of the House of Magistrates in 1662, and successively after, until his death. He was master of a shorthand to which we did not imagine that any key could ever be found. Among the papers deposited in the library of the Connecticut Historical Society, many years since, was a stout little vellum-covered volume of nearly four hundred pages, closely written in this hand, with no clue to the subject nor to the writer's name. It lay unnoticed until about the year 1857, when it attracted the attention of J. Hammond Trumbull, LL. D., who succeeded in deciphering it, and found it to consist of notes of sermons and lectures, delivered in Windsor and Hartford, between April, 1638, and May, 1641, in regular course. The writer's name is not given, but his birthday is noted on the first leaf of the volume, in the words "the day I was born was the 21 of Jan. 1610," and this and other facts identified him as Henry Wolcott, Jr.; and it is a curious fact that the only record of his birth is found among these hieroglyphics. The alphabet made use of is nearly the same with that of Willis (published in 1607) but the great number and variety of arbitrary signs introduced by the writer made the task of deciphering a difficult one. Mr. Wolcott gave much attention to the cultivation of fruit of which he kept a record in his shorthand volume. He rented to several tenants in England the estate which his father had bequeathed to him. He appears to have taken as prominent a part in church matters as in town and state affairs. d.
