• Notes

  Sold land at Salem Village 1722 and moved to Attleboro Massachusetts, bought land there and built a house at Attleboro Massachusetts 1723; William, Benjamin, and Eleazur sold their father's homestead land in 1728. —— From "Walcott and Whipple Families": William Walcott formerly of Salem, Mass. removed from the town about the year 1722, to what is now the town of Cumberland, R.I. (but at that period and until May 1746, was a part of the town of Attleborough, Mass.) where he purchased of Samuel Day and others, several tracts of land situated on Abbott Run, so-called, near the northeast part of Cumberland and built a house which is now (1848) standing and in good repair and occupied by one of his descendants. He resided there during the remainder of his life which closed November 13th-1777 in the 88th year of his age, as appears inscribed on his tomb stone. From History of the State of Rhode Island: William Walcott, a s/o Captain Jonathan Walcott by his second marriage, was born at Salem, Massachusetts, March 2, 1691. He married, at Salem, August 6, 1712, Mary, a daughter of George and Hannah Felt. She was born October 13, 1687, and died before 1763. [Note discrepancies of parents and birth date] William Walcott died at Attleborough, Massachusetts (now Arnold Mills, Rhode Island), November 3, 1777.
