Is anyone researching this surname? I was wondering if it was a variation of WYCKOFF/WICOFF. And, if so, what is the earliest that surname appears. I had an ancestor Mary (WICOFF) WESTROPE who died 1850 in Morgan co Illinois. At least one of her sons went to Scottsille Macoupin county - John WESTROPE died there 1891. Thanks Bob White Davidson NC
