BOOK  CONTENT   INFORMATION

Chapter One

      Chapter one deals with issues surrounding the early origins of our immigrant ancestor,  William Orcutt, and examines many early historical references to him, early Orcutt history, and some theories, assumptions, suppositions, and various mistaken information that is often attributed or associated with William.   Entomology of the Orcutt and related surnames are studied, as found in recorded history and scholarly works. 

Chapter Two

      Chapter Two begins on page 45, documenting the Orcutt, and our old well established allied family Edson’s common ancestral ties to the Bickley family of Warwickshire, England. Pivotal to present Orcutt and Edson family historical accuracy, and future family history possibilities is the marriage of Samuel Edson and Susanna Bickley , who has mistakenly long been attributed to  having been an Orcutt. The location of the marriage record of these two persons has caused many people to espouse a more logical avenue for Orcutt and Edson genealogy and family history to proceed on. and many good records and other information found in connection with members of these families are included.

Chapter Three

      Chapter Three begins on page 67, documenting the still tentative descendants of John Awcotte of Warwickshire, England, of whose family many Orcutt family historians believe is that of our own William Orcutt.  Orcutt and related surnames are compared with Awcotte, and various other names that are found used interchangeably in English Parish records.   Various examples of related surnames include Awcote, Awcotte, Arcote, Arcotte,, Aucott, Alcot, Allcott, Alcote, Alcocke, Allcote, Howcote, Howcott, Hawcott, and Orcote.    Related, or “allied” surnames include Allen, Athearn,  Bass,  Bayley,  Baxter, Belcher, Billings,   Duchford (Duckford), French, Fullerton, Gilbert, Gill,  Hayden, Henshaw,  Lane,  Marsh, Milner, Needham, Orcutt, Paine, Ruggles, Saunders, Symon, Wrightman.    Locations include Kingsbury, Baxterley, Mancetter, Over Whitacre, Nuneaton, Aston, and other locations in Warwickshire, England.  Braintree, Exeter, Chilmark, Tilsbury, Weymouth, Scituate,  Marshfield, Bridgewater, Reading, Rehoboth, Hingham, Dorchester, and Boston, Massachusetts. 

Chapter Four

      Chapter Four begins on page 87, documenting the descendants of John Bickley, and the establishment of Orcutt and Edson connections to the  Bickleys of Warwickshire, England.  Several ancient wills are presented as transcriptions that reveal important familiar relationships.  Allied families are Allkut, Bates,  Bilson, Brandon, Brown, Byram, Chilton, Dean,  Delaway, Dugdale, Edson, Evans,  Field,  Hale, Hayward, Hilton, Howard Hunt, Jones, Kingman Orcutt,  Orton, Packard, Pickern,  Rugeley, Sergeant, Smith, Snell, Spencer,  Starten, Taylor, Threllfall.  

      Locations include Kingsbury, Baxterley, Over Whitacre, Nether Whitacre, Fillongley, Mancetter, Nuneaton, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry, and Birmingham in Warwickshire, England.   Many places in Massachusetts, and Colonial America.

Chapter Five

      Chapter Five begins on page 113, and documents early references to William and Mary Lane Orcutt and their family, including Plymouth County, Massachusetts probate records.  Considers the possibility, (the first and only found for William after several centuries of research by many people), of William Orcutt having been the William Hawcott that was a pin maker from Coventry, England that was bound to the well known trader John Bridges to work four years in Barbados. This same William’s service ended in the right time for him to have married Mary Lane in Hingham.  There is also some examination of William Orcutt’s  likelihood of having been a sailor, or a nail maker, comparing the merits of two different long held Orcutt family legends.

Chapter Six

Joseph Orcutt, the son of William and Mary Lane Orcutt born ca, 1672.  Includes historical references, land records, and the probate of the Estate of Joseph’s wife, Sarah Smith Orcutt’s brother’s property in Swansea, Massachusetts.
