Seeking information on Wolcott Teachout, especially his ancestry, which has been my brick wall. Wolcott was born about 1810 in NY, and died in Ingham County, MI, in 1871. He was married three times, to Sarah Severance, Phoebe Rix, and Sarah Gunderman, and had 11 children. The one new bit of information about him is that in the 1840 NY Census, Ontario County, there is listed living next door to him a John Teachout, age 60-70, a female 50-60, and a another female 20-30, who it seems likely are his father, mother and a sister. The writing on the census microfilm is badly faded, but thanks to the magic of xerox the writing can be made out. Would be happy to exchange data.
